Is this possible, is there a kit out there to build a twin turbo prelude. I'm asking for some clarity because a guy told me the other day that he had a twin turbo setup on his lude and I told him it was pure bs. He said it cost 6000 for the kit and he took it off because it was too much power. He said it was a kit but had no company name and said he had sold it for 4000 and when it was on he could only manage low 13s because of traction problems.

Thanks for your time

 

Could it be done, yes. Has it been done to a H22 probably. Can you do it for $6k, no F-ing way. Is the guy BS-ing you, certainly.

 

Why would you need a twin turbo set-up anyway(for a 'lude)?That's just stupid when you could use a garrett T3 or a T3/T4 hybrid and get better results than his 13 second runs.All a twin turbo is for is to allow the car to accellerate quicker and more smoothly.The primary turbo (smaller) handles bottom end and then after a certain RPM the secondary (larger) turbo kicks in and handles the top end power.Look at some of the 9 and 10 second hondas and they're al single turbo set-ups.Twin turbo would be good for the street or for auto cross where you need torque but that's about it.Basically the guy you talked doesn't know what the hell he's talking about .The bottom line here is that it could be possible but it would be a waste of time and money($6000 ,yeah right).

 

I figured he was lying. Thanks for the info.

 

stephan papadakis is using an h22 and he has twin turbo (the fastest front wheel drive car right now)....

if you look in this months import tuner.... you'll see a twin turbo h22 in a civic hatchback....

 

Too much power??

Sorry, I have trouble understanding that....

 

The only problem I see with a twin turbo setup, is that you'd have to keep the rpms up real high for you to make any power at all. Because it'd be hard for a 4-cylinder motor to be pushing all that exhaust to turn two turbos for good psi.

 

In reply to preludechick89 I'll have to check that out.I was only stated that most of the 9-10 second Hondas run single turbo set-ups,some of which add a shot of nitrous to help reduce lag on such a large turbo.The fact that steph went with a twin set-up is cool but I'm sure that it cost well over $6000,which was the whole topic of conversation to begin with.I just wanted to state that this guy's 13 second quarter mile passes should be alot better especially since he would have the benefit of bottom end torque as well as high rpm.A bone stock Supra runs high 13's and that's like a 36 or 3800lbs. car.I was just trying to provide insite on the matter not cause rivalry betwen fellow Prelude owner's,afterall we're all in this scene together.

 

Actually, you could make a parallel setup, by taking two similarly sized T3's and running each one off of 2 cylinders, then the only real problem is space.

Without busting out a calculator, I'd guesstimate that EACH T3 on the H22 would probably yield the same power as a T3 on a D15 or D16.

 

You're missing the point, on a twin turbo set up there isn't one turbo to handle power for half your cylinders and another turbo to handle the other half.There's one smaller turbo to handle bottom end power(ie)quicker spool up,usable torque,etc.),the second turbo kicks in at a higher RPM (there's a crossover point,almost like VTEC) to handle top end power.That's all there is to twin turbo cars, look at factory specs on 300zx's,RX-7's and Supra's.They all have small primary turbos and large secondary turbos.I hope this clarifies any confusion.
