twins or single for road racing?
 

Should i keep my twins or convert to single turbo for road racing?

In general, you should keep your twins. Larger turbos have more lag to deal with, and as a result are more difficult to roadrace.

Of course, if you're going for a track record (or if you're trying to bust your buddy's brand new Carrera GT / C6 Z06) you'll need to go single. You'll also need an upgraded fuel system, high octane race fuel, coilovers, wide tires, roadrace slicks, and a racelogic traction control system. :)

Damn your on the ball.. I'd hang wiht you and learn alot if you were in Cali... again dead on.. stock twins.. but I would go true twin... not the fact seq... better kick more boost at low levels.. and the second turbo kick in a apex could throw the ass end out....

Thank you for the kind words!

Agreed. If you don't upgrade to a single, the oem twins in TTC ("true twin") are easier to roadrace than the oem twins in sequential mode. Some folks even run a setup that allows electronically switching between sequential and TTC.

Only one minor discussion point...although TTC feels like it kicks better/harder with more boost at low levels, sequential is actually faster in the 1/4 (straight-line)...

On the fule just go with Methanol :D

Have you done a lot of roadracing with Methanol? Just curious...

Yes, I have not seen one bad side effect (Cause its tuned Correctly)..I use the Boost cooler system from Snow Proformance.

Is that in an Mkiv Supra Turbo? Oh, and where have you roadraced it? Again, pardon my curiosity...

Np , I play with my car up at hallet Race way in Talsa oklahoma. Yes it is a Mkiv Turbo. Btw no one finds out if their not curious :P

Glad to have you on the forum Jasin...welcome! :)

I would also add that proper cooling modifications will be required if one has a FMIC - power steering cooler and oil cooler, the former being the most imperative.

With respect to methanol, how long can you run it on the track before it runs out?

10-30 laps Depending on the PSI im running (the higher the psi the more i use)

Wow, where can I learn more information about your setup? Email? thanks

my setup changes alot due to the fact im playing with cams/meth water Ratios/injectors ect. but my e-mails jasonstatic@gmail.com

Keep your TT!
