My question here is what is the benefit of twin turbos? What exactly is turbo lag? And finally which has less turbo lag twins or single??
Twin Turbos
- Thread starter H-Dogg
- Start date
Turbo lag is the time between wide open throttle and full boost, Now while almost 99% of the time, you can solve turbo lag buy just downshifiting once(or twice depending on your turbo... Jay...)
But look at it this way. A stock 1jz has 2 TINY turbos, as opposed to one HUGE turbo. This is why a stock 1jz turbo setup is so responsive, yet, limits people who want to go for HUGE power. A big single will net you a simpler setup, a much better setup to make huge power, but usually no where near responsive as twins.
Now, getting a single isn't a death wish for response, There are TONS of turbos, you just gotta research/

people try to argue this day in and day out. TECHNICALLY, they both have the same lag on the same motor. BUT the only reason im stating that is there is the same amount of air flow per engine, but the VOLUME is the variable. For instance, small single will spool extremely fast, and put out small volume of air. A big single will be laggier but the volume will be MUCH greater. So as said before, single, twin it doesnt matter. Its the calculated volume of the single or the combined of the twins. Its all just a matter of choosing the turbo(s) for the range you want.
There may be two of them, but each one runs on half the cylinders

no such thing. Other than drag of the two shafts of course. In that case, i guess a SMALL amount could effect it. Past a certain point though, twin is better because a built 2j or something can actually outflow a T76 lol. But thats just another way of proving displacement is the most efficient way of building power. As for me, ill stick with a sp63...
