Take that for what it's worth.
Eng the fastest Skyline is a sigle turbo setup, Not to start an arguement I just wanted to put that in the open......As for your question arron Twin trust setup......More power to less money.....and I dont know wenkle's I just know that if you go with the single setup you'll end up spendin a lot more money than you wanted to........

I'm still going with either of these turbos. Going single unless somethin happens to the deal. Just let me know when you're good.

Come again?

6-cyl HKS Japan Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 7.671 181.98 mph HKS GT3540R (x2)

Granted it has since then gone to a single turbo setup (I don't know any numbers for the new setup). Even that being the case maybe 1-2 out of the top 10 skylines in the world aren't twin turbo setup. That's gotta account for something.

Feel free to post up some numbers.

a td07 is comparable to about a T04S/R



The single vs twin debate has been discussed countless times. I think you ought to discard opinions in this thread that don't rely on factual information.
td05 are puny turbos...but 2 of them will flow enough for 600hp. So will a simple t67.

If you want simplicity, go single.
If you want something different at the exspenve of a jungle of pipes and more chance of part failure, go twin.

He's not trying to break any records here, so what applies to a 1300hp skyline or similarly any V engines does not apply to his rx7.

At the least, I'd see what an rx7 forum has to say about this. Methinks you'd get better information there.

IMO: Single for straights, Twins for turns. Something like that. Good luck with your setup.
