My friends turbo idea

A Honda with a turbo, nothing new.
A Honda with a sequential turbo setup, probably costs more than a running stock 7mgte.
It'll still take more torque to open a 2 liter bottle of soda than what the Honda will ever produce.

You know I work for honda, and they are great little cars, even quick little bastards if the right person is doing the work.. but Id never see the point in twins on a civic, fit, 4cyl accord or any other 4cyls. Now a twin set up on the 08 accords with the 3.5l V6... that sounds like fun 
I still love my supra and celica the most though

i thought the twins on a 2j were the same size.

no but 2j's areMK3Brent said:

this is what made me say 2jQuin said:
small turbo and large turbo doesn't work
small turbo ends up being a bottleneck and/or can't take the stress
at least in that configuration

Yes 2JZ twins are the same size, but the system works in a similar way.
As for AaronsSupraMKIII's post, that's actually a SERIAL turbo setup. If you have the smaller turbo operating at say a 2:1 PR (14.5psi), and turbo 2 operating at a 2:1 PR (14.5PSI) you'll get a net 4:1 PR (43.5PSI). Used for VERY high boost (think 100+ PSI). Not practical for gasoline engines because it'll detonate, but works very well on diesel.
The idea of the asymetrical sequential twin setup is actually a pretty smart one. I was seriously considering building such a setup on another car. The problem is it's very difficult to properly tune and control. You have to adjust a lot of things. You have two wastegates you can tune, you have a transition point you can tune, you have an overlap period you can tune. With that being said, tell him to do it. It will be bad-ass. Assuming he understands how it's all going to work as a complete system.
I don't get what you're saying. Which configuration were you commenting on? The original post? He could open up only the small one at low rpm, then close it off, and open the larger one up at high rpm. How would that choke anything off?Poodles said:

asymetrical sequential setup won't work... it's been tried before and found that it doesn't work as planned...
it's better to use a system like the stock 2J twins
I remember reading in a magazine about it, and as your system MIGHT work, the issue is the transition between the two and the loss of power as the larger turbo fully spools...
it just isn't as simple as you'd think, and a non-sequential setup would bottleneck, so that's a no-go as well...
