chirish1234 · 03-01-2009, 01:46 PM

I was just wondering If anyone has done it or if it is even possible?

thanks, Nick

Are you asking about true twins or sequential?
There's no reason.
Twins are more expensive and more complicated.
Why would you want to?

talk the talk but can you walk the walk?

How about 4 *tiny*tiny*tiny* turbos?

chirish1234 · 03-01-2009, 01:58 PM

yea the reason is that we have an s80 volvo with twin turbos but the engine is gone and the turbos are brand ****ing new. Jeez all i was asking if anyone has done it and if it was possible. Like maybe have two different exhaust but we would have to make our ouwn headers i guess.

500dollar744ti · 03-01-2009, 01:59 PM

what year s80?

chirish1234 · 03-01-2009, 02:05 PM

1999 y?

Mueller · 03-01-2009, 02:12 PM

why would it not be possible?

if you cannot answer that, then you shouldn't have asked.....

while possible, not very practical...

a few reasons to want to try twin turbo a 4 banger than I can think of.....stupidity or bored or no single turbo available that would suite thier needs...

well one reason is that certain year s80's had the turbine housing integrated as part of the manifold.

however 1999 should have an actual flange on it.

phenry · 03-01-2009, 03:13 PM

Put the T6 in your car instead. Oh wait, nevermind.

dieselboy · 03-01-2009, 03:23 PM

I was going to twin 13c one I still have the manifold for it too. But yeah that's kind of one of "those" questions.

I saw a picture of a twin turboed 360 or something floating around here...they put a 230 in it and converted it to RWD

Hodginsa · 03-01-2009, 04:32 PM

360s are RWD already.?

That's a conversion I even reckon I could pull off.

It would be even cooler if someone put two red blocks together and made it a straight 8!

I8 redblock would be ****ing EPIC.

Doooo eeeeeeeet.

DooDoobrown · 03-01-2009, 05:51 PM

Put one redblock in the engine bay running the front wheels and another in the trunk running the rear wheels and you will have AWD

How about 2 turbos per one exhaust port?

Alex Buchka · 03-01-2009, 07:37 PM

Why do you keep reposting a picture of a bunch of tiny, unimpressive, stock turbos?
