Twin Turbo Build Thread
#22
Oh yeah I dig MS hardcore, still low on the bank though. I plan on roughing out the build with what I currently have and after my hotrod sells I'll make friends with solder and my iron. Don't get me wrong I'm with you that stand alone is the ideal solution, what I don't understand is everyone being so harsh towards running what ya got until you get what you need? I'm not saying by any means that my old msd box/rpm control is great, but its a lot better than a static 6 or 8 degrees retard. I'd like to check out your MS wiring a little more next time every one meets up. I remembering you saying it was a pnp and it would help me to see where everything is running to etc. Oh, and I wish the head was a 00, but alas it's a 96. It will flow much better when I'm done with it though, + the diy cam swap etc.

Yeah my PnP is pretty simple. N3V has a custom built MS and he's local also, ill drag him out to one of the meets they have around here. He also did the exintake cam mod like your wanting to do. Im wanting to try it on my 99-00 head, just gota find the cam.

I see what turbos you are running now. I looked into the OEM Subaru sequential TT setup from the early 90's as a swap for my '97 outback at one point. They are all over ebay for cheap. I don't know about what turbos they are or if they are an ok size. I do know the subaru sequential parts (choking off most of the flow to one turbo until some point, etc) don't work very reliably, plus you have to find room for the valves & other hardware. In my opinion for a sequential I would run a small turbo early and a large turbo late, like the new deisels.

Which is why they went to a single TD05 and then a single TD04 (see map above), which is an excellent match for the 1.6 miata as I have found out.
Blocking off the second turbo should be fairly simple (haha) using an external wastegate BEFORE the second turbo, and some kind of pressure source to trigger it at an RPM setpoint.
The simplest way would be to use manifold pressure as a trigger to open the wastegate.
So the sequence would be:
RPM/Boost/Wastegate condition
1000/0/Closed
1250/1/Closed
1500/5/Closed
2000/10/Open
2250/6/Open <-----Only disadvantage I see from this simple setup, boost will drop as the wastegate opens and the second turbo starts spooling up.
2500/8/Open
3000/10/Open
3500/10/Open
And so on....
In either case this whole clusterfuck would be a hell of a lot easier to achieve with an aftermarket ECU.
Wanna race when you're done, Wrecking_Crew? My "crude" single Subaru setup vs. your sophisticated twin turbo setup?

Thanks Tim, I'm going to start with just log man and spooling the turbines together, then move to sequential afterwords. Currently I'm sourcing a few parts from a supra, primarily the LACV and the EGCV, they will be controlled via vacuum actuators. I though about a compound system and have read through an untold amount of the diesel kid forums, I'll probly do that set up in my friends 63 econoline, 300 6 etc.
lol, I take it you've never buried a crank before... And why would a couple vacuum actuated valves not make me want to toy with a seq setup?
