I would probably do the squire system, what with them near the rear of the car.

On Horsepower TV, they did the twin turbo setup to a 'vette and removed the mufflers, so I assume you could do the same. Have your exhaust "Y" off just after the catalytic converter, and tuck the snails up just under the rear bumper.

According to the show, the travel from the rear of the vehicle to the front was a drop of about 1 psi, but it cooled the charge almost 100 degrees, so it's a good trade off.

Other than that, I don't see how you are going to cram 2 turbos under the already cramped hood space...

Classic. Welcome to the internets. It's was thought of about 19 years ago when these cars were first built and the idea is still fail.

I've seen it done on a 1g turbo before. But other than that no.

The problem with the Legacy is the engine is a flat 4. 2 cylinders on either side. 2 exhaust manifolds and all.

This is just a thought so dont flame me if it has been thought of before. If you moved your battery to your trunk, use the output on the one turbo to turn the turbine of the second turbo, and found a way to mount it where your battery normally is wouldnt that be a way to twin turbo a straight 4?

He has been offline for a long time, and I don't believe his website is still up.

Send him an email and see if he can help you or tell you how his went.

4cylinds really dont push enough exhaust flow to really support twin turbos

there more for v8's

keep with that one big turbo and you'll be fine

umm... ever heard of the 3g rx7? its a fuckin' 1.3 liter ROTARY its got the displacement of a chicken egg... hell the 3kgt VR4 and stealth RTs have a 6 cylinder.

Yes but the rotaries are 2 stroke engines so they pull and push air more often. More turbos are capable that way.

I've pondered about the eclipse TT for a while. Custom built header could support two turbos. Two cylinders per turbo (small turbos for faster spool). On the intake side you would take ITBs from a hyabusa and custom build a manifold to support them. Two TBs per turbo. Either a front mount for TTs or side mount intercoolers like on a Z32 TT. I haven't delved into the science and mathematics of it yet though. It was just a thought i had.

LOL Rotarys are NOT two stroke engines.. they dont have Strokes... they have anywhere from 1 to 4 rotors that convert pressure into a rotating motion inside an oval-like "epitrochoid". There are no "strokes" so to speak like there are in lifting-cylinder engines because the rotors have a continuous monodirectional motion. they do not reciprocate in any way.

I don't think he actually meant "stroke" per se, as much as referring to "RPM capable" (like a 2-stroke).

the ITB is honda fail. it is something that "can" in theory work but I don't think anyone has actually made it work the way they wanted outside of IRL. Especially turbo apps because you still have to have some kind of "manifold" to supply the air charge to each tb.
