Man, the JWT kit is a beast. Traction must be a real problem based on the 60'. Could have been a variety of things though.......

Yea this chart is irrelevant

You guys never cease to amaze me...:icon17:

what part, our vast automotive knowledge or our striking good looks???

How so? The thread states (to sum it up) that the TT kits are superior to a ST kit on a VQ, yet the top two of the best, verified drag strip slips on the VQ are using ST kits.

Perhaps both? :cool:

The chart does have 2 STS kits on top. The JWT car could have done better with a lower 60' time and better launch. But the numbers tell the story here.

To be fair, the thread is mostly about street use.

:icon18:

Are those STS or just unknown Single Turbos?

One of them is an ls2 ........ Fail

This thread is cracks me up...everything stated is pretty common knowledge if you are in the industry. Twin turbos spool faster and seem like a better choice for street use....Singles are more efficent and have a higher ceiling for growth then smaller twins....no ****.

I think the issue is the definition of street use. What if a guy wants a bigger single for a lil delayed TQ and wants it up higher in the RPM range and more room for growth without having to practically drop the motor out to switch up turbos. Maybe the guy for steet use doesnt want instant TQ and boost blowing off the tires everytime he is half throttle...

So the other guys wants twins and quicker spool so he feels it in the chest and the car feels faster. Maybe he thinks twins on his 370z is the same as buying a GTR....who knows?


This is America, if a company makes a good product it will sell(whether it has 1 or 2 turbos). If it isnt a good product...It wont. Obviously both have there pros and cons. At the end of the day I bet it has more to do with the companies customer service, how quality of a product they sell is, and how well they stand behind their product then it does with a couple 100 rpms of spool...

It's nothing more than a sells pitch for who has the best turbo for the price. At the same time number don't lie and I think I'll stick with my single rear mounted turbo....until they finish the twin version.

ST= Single turbo (location not specified, but I know #2 on the list is a top mount GT42R)

STS= Squires Turbo Systems (a company, making rear mount turbo kits)

So I don't know how you got STS out of that.


If that is all you got from the list then...:ugh2:.

Yeah understand and know what STS is and stands for....have one.:rolleyes:
I was just curious about the same thing.

The chart is also from the vq35 motors n not the 37. 2 different motors. On my 35 I had a single turbo build, gt35r powerlab which kicked arse everywhere I went n never gave my any problems. I love single turbo's n the way they kick in n the torque. But the vq37 motor is not the same as the 35 so it's safe to say that until more r&d is done to make sure single turbo kits r a reliable option I think TT is the way to go on these motors. But I also disagree with this thread to begin with in the first place.
It should have CLEARLY been titled "GTM TT kits is the best n single turbo sucks arse so buy our kits".
Now if GTM offered single turbo kits that would be a different story but since u guys only have TT kits kinda makes u guys a little biased eh? Just sayin, nuttin personal.

I agree, especially with the second part.

The list is from the VQ35 equiped cars, but the original poster says that this "theory" applies to all V6's because of the exhaust pulses. That is why I thought the list is relevant.

:iagree: I will probably not be using mine for the track. This is my DD for me and the fact that I won't be going through tires as often is always a plus. I have seen up to 38mpg,drove for 2 1/2 hrs and averaged 35mpg, when cruizing at 80mph on my single.

The thread does have done good info about heat and enthalpy but I def agree

U do know that if you change injectors the mpg readings from the stock trip computer become useless. Right?

So when they remap the car that isn't part of it. If not I know now.

Infomercial or not, I learned a great deal in here. Props. To all.

Coop

No they don't. Can't have our cake and eat it too unfortunately.

But I like cake :yum:...

Did somebody say cake?

This is moving pretty well for a single turbo.

Here's a verse:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Why are you yelling?
We don't get you.

:ugh2:

This is by far 1 of the best breakdowns on single and twin turbo pros vs cons. I also learned a few things about heat transfer and placement of turbos. Thanks for taking the time out to do this very good read.

Read this a second time and realize that the BP kit doesn't have such a huge boost threshold as mentioned here.

Nope. The boost threshold of a twin-scroll is really close to that of a TT setup. I make positive pressure below 2,500rpms. Turbo lag is almost non-existent too with my ball bearing setup.

This is an amazing write up thank you so much!

Post is very informative but unfortunately is geared more towards favoring twin turbos. Single turbo is great too if designed correctly.

There is one definitive fact - The single turbo kit that is shipping is always superior to the twin turbo kit that isn't.

:icon18: You are going to get this locked. lol

Agreed. My BP kit dominates the GTM kits I've seen on my tuners dyno.

One thing that is always left out of the discussion is that a single turbo will always make more low end torque and that's where it really matters. But I don't have to tell you that, we bought the same kit. :tup:

Can't wait for the BP kits to be built. I've read and researched up and down this forum and there's nothing bad that can be said about it.
