Twin Turbo vs. Single Turbo V6: A Dissertation

tower74 · 01-21-2012, 11:16 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This is moving pretty well for a single turbo.

Twin turbo guys post your boost verse RPM.

Here's a verse:

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

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.
