usually twin turbos are made for v-type motors. im sure it can be done, but itll be one unreliable waste of a car.

stop dreaming and get yourself informed on a single turbos before you start jumping the gun.

Agreed. A twin turbo setup on a Honda motor is mainly only for show purposes. A greater power gain with comparable lag can be seen with a properly sized single turbo.

Wouldn't a twin turbo setup be more beneficial for a car w/two heads instead of one? I've seen a sight where a guy tried to do one, and it worked, but not like you would expect and scientifically it did not seem practical.

it's a waste of time... the only reason to put TT on any car aftermarket would be for show

TT's are so hard to tune and for the same price you can spend money on a really nice single turbo with the same lag and better results. is it the reason most of the supra guys drop the twin's and go with one big snail when upgrading

The only Integra to use a twin turbo setup was the Apex'i Integration IDRC Drag Integra. The plumbing was a nightmare and I doubt it would even fit in the crowded engine bay of a third-gen Integra.

And in the end, modern turbo design has made such setups pointless. A single turbo can spool fully by 2500 rpm on a 2 liter motor and still flow 250 to 300 hp worth of air.

In short, don't bother.
