twin turbo Typhoon

I'm wanting to go twin turbo on my 1993 Ty. I have two T3 Super 60 turbos that were going to be used on my hot rod with a 92 Ty motor. The turbos were going to be remote mounted on that car and I thought about remotwe mounting them on the 93 Ty as well but I'm now I'm wanting to move them up front and eventually rebuild the motor with all the goodies. I want to have the turbos in and working first.
Does anyone have a link to a build like this? I've been searching twin turbos but I dont see any that are not a V8 swap or extreem $$ all out build. I want my truck to be a fun daily driver but with a kick. I have a 9/11 TC as well to get the higher stall that will be needed for twins. I'd like to keep my AC as well but the antilock system can go if needed.
Any help would be great or if someone can point me in the right direction for parts.

Thanks.

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

A stock Typhoon is a fun daily driver, as can be just a single turbo. You don't see many because it's really not necessary. It adds a whole level of complexity that is just not needed. The other mods such as fuel system, intake, intercooler, meth injection, bigger turbo, etc are the things that would make it a really fun daily driver.

Race proven motors sells TT headers for syty's IIRC. They can provide what is necessary to complete this conversion.

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

Don't waste your time...

1.) The steering shaft, awd transfer case and front prop shaft don't make it easy to to exhaust on the drivers side. You will have a lot of extra plumbing and intercooling setup mods that will cause a lot of sheet metal cutting. You will also need to run twin wastegates, and a good boost controller setup. You should run a after market computer to do it right as you should run an oxygen sensor on each bank.

2.) Unless you are going to a Bowtie motor build you are over kill with two 60 mm turbos.

3.) The stall needed with twins is not nessasarily higher. It would depend on how the turbos are set up and what kind of exhaust housing/AR you are running. Just like a single turbo setup.

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

twins would be overkill imo - a good running truck can have a hell of a kick.

Get a new trans!

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

if you are thinking about keeping the ABS, and add another turbo, you are asking for trouble :D

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

Unless you are very picky and buy all the right parts, two turbos is going to be slower than one. The v6 is a small motor to the two fairly large turbos you have. If I can recall correctly I think John (windedv6) is (EDIT: NOT) the only one to successfully do twins on a v6 and he is telling you it is (EDIT: NOT) more trouble than it is worth, just overkill unless you are going to be really fast (sorry if I forgot anyone)

edit: Sorry i forgot almost everyone, so it is Windedv6, Bullysyclone, Ed Hess and Ghettonsled.

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

So does ed hess. Its possible but very costly. And for what single turbo will provide the whatever ET your looking for. I love the way it looks but dont see the need!!

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

You guys are forgetting Ghetto sled twin turbo made 1204 HP ran 8 seconds?,engine was pulled & sold & retuned w/a couple mods,bigger turbos? made 1400 HP or so. Mike, care to comment? 2WD though.

Running 2 smaller turbos will give you better driveability, get into boost sooner than a single larger turbo.

It all depends what your goals are & it will cost more to run 2 turbos.

I wouldn't say it more trouble than its worth if you are doing a built bowtie motor and going for 900 plus hp. I didn't read anywhere it said he was doing a built bowtie motor to take 900 hp. Big over kill and a waste on a stock block. And yes, doing a bowtie build with twins is costly.

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

Thanks for all the advise. I guess I'll just go with a stage 1 or maybe a 2 upgrade from RPM. My question then would be how to tune the motor. Is it ok to use the stock ECM? I've read that if you go too far with upgrading the truck becomes unreliable. I want the truck to be street quick low 12s would be plenty on the track. I'm not looking to dig too deep into the motor for another 60K mi. However the turbo is going south and its time to get another turbo, so I might as well get the one I'll need once the engine is re built would be wise. I know for the stage 1 and 2 I'll need pipes, injectors, I can use my 9/11 TC. Will I need another prop shaft? A2A? I live in a hot humid area so I have a water injection kit.

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

invest your money in an alky kit, maybe your water can do that to, than you can forget about going A2A and don't need bigger injectors.
further than that i would go for a bigger turbo than the stage 1 or 2 if you want to run low 12's
stock ECM is good, get yourselve an ostrich (emulator) and 3 bar map, and either use code 58 or 59 for tuning. also get a Wbo2

Re: twin turbo Typhoon

The combinations thread in the engine performance part of the forum is very helpfull for deciding what do do for a motor. For 12s you could get away with a 20G and a chip, heck, I was in the 12's with just a walbro pump, atr exhaust, and a code 59 tune.
