Would it be possible to do this to an M3? I'm guessing no as I have never heard of it, yet I'm not quite sure why. Obviously I'm no expert. Why aren't there any twin turboed M3's?

I've posted several times before but the TC Kline bushings are basically a race-only part. They make all sorts of bonks and clonks and I wouldn't use them anywhere near a street car, not even as a wheel chock. I ran them on my car and had to basically grind them out which was no fun. -kit -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

You will not find any daily driven cars with large single turbos. They aren't practical because they have so much lag that they don't spool till about 4kRPM. That's why those cars came with "twin turbos" to help spool up when daily driven. Even then they were designed to be set up as sequential or non-sequential. Both camps of different spooling techniques. Only twin turbo mass produced car I can think of nowadays is the Audi S4. There must be a reason nobody is doing it anymore.

Both of those accomplish a very effective TT setup. And if you want we can forget the GT2 since it isn't mass produced but it does use the same motor as the 996TT. But as for the M3 I think the reason that nobody has a designed one yet to market to the public is they can't figure it out. Too much work and cost for the amount of gain you get out of one. A single turbo will give you the same amount of power.

You will not find > any daily driven cars with large single turbos. That's not completely true. Yes, many of the single turbos are for drag cars. However, many rx7's go to single turbos for RELIABILITY. The twin turbo setup on the RX7 was designed to minimize boost lag. However, it was VERY complicated. Twin turbos in a V configuration engine makes sense. For an inline engine, a single turbo sized properly makes more sense for an aftermarket system. A twin turbo system is a very complicated engineering task, and would benefit from the resources of a big automotive OEM to develop. The supra twin turbo and skyline gt-r are the two cars that come to mind that are inline 6's with twin turbos. > That's why > those cars came with "twin turbos" to help spool up > when daily driven. Sure, I agree 100%. > Only twin turbo mass produced car I > can think of nowadays is the Audi S4. There must be > a reason nobody is doing > it anymore. Cost and complexity w/ a minimal gain in boost response, in my opinion.

No real noticeable difference over stock until the RPMs get to about 4000-4500 RPM. Then there's a noticeable difference :-) I haven't gotten the race car to a dyno yet, but it's on my list of things to do. I don't have a stock dyno chart to compare it to, but I'm curious nonetheless as to the performance of the motor. It'll be good to know where the power & torque start to level off (so I can determine shift points) and enough people have asked what the HP is now that I've gotten tired of saying "I dunno" <bg>. My 2 cents, Jim Bassett 1998 M3/4 - doesn't need cams. nope. not at all. 1992 325is #44 KP - didn't really "need" cams, needed exhaust valves. now in need of a faster driver.
