KillNThrill24 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have a 72mm turbonetics journal bearing turbo that I had planned on using on my 2v. But since I decided to go 4v auto, I realized I'd max the turbo out and still fall short of my goal. If I were to pick up another one and used it in a twin setup... Would it be TOO much? Goals are 1000hp streetable power. And most likely daily. With auto probably 800whp but I definitely want 1000 crank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 So twin 72's? Seems like I see most twin setups running two smaller turbos. Of course IMO there is no such thing as too much, but spooling twin 72's might take a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 If you're gonna run twin 72s you'll be spooling for hours unless you hit a shot of nitrous to aid in spooling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabres Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sell it, buy a pair of 57's or 62's. You'll have the power you want and significantly better driveability and spool time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillNThrill24 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys. I had definitely thought two 72's would just be too much for a street car. If it only saw track I wouldn't be as worried about it. I know a guy that would buy it off me for $450 + 2 255 walbros but I don't know if I want to do it lol.I'll look into 57/62's and see what the buzz is all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah twin 62'sor a single 76.. my buddy has a single 76 now on his Camaro and at 23 psi is at a lil over 1k, car actually hit the 6 speed lsx record.. at 27psi.. 8.63@158 in a 6speed.. pretty impressive..so it's doable with your 72, but will require more boost, in return extra ait, temps.. water meth and maybe air to water intercooled will do the trick for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillNThrill24 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Now that is freakin awesome. I'd love to run a twin setup and try to retain a manual. I hate autos honestly... My shifting is one of the better things about my driving too. That kinda inspires me to get a t56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabres Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Have you ever ridden in a properly setup automatic turbo car? They're insane. You'd be looking for any means to swap one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sell me the 72mm and pick up a 74mm CEA from PTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillNThrill24 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have not Tabres. But everyone I talk to says the same thing, if you want to enjoy driving the car go manual. If you just want to go fast go auto. I'm torn because I want both. LolMk2 I'm not sure if I want twin or single yet, but I'm sure this 72 isn't gonna cut it either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 a 76 on my friends 03 makes 741hp through an auto on 19psi. however, a 72 would be perfect for my 351. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
