Is anybody fitting twin turbos into a G50?

[Jeff Williams]

I see a lot of threads and infromation on turbo applications in other cars, but is anybody fitting twin turbos in a Q45 frame?

Twin turbos are going to be a hard install unless you put them under the car or at the rear. There is room where the mufflers reside after the cats.

If it can be done with a VH45 in a z32, it should be able to be done in a Q45.

A few weeks ago while flipping through an old Autoweek mag I rediscovered this article.

Although it's not a G50, a similar configuration may work on one.

Swift-Racing-Technologies can hook up your GS 400/430 with twin hair dryers for the unbelievably low, low price of $35K.

Its gotta be a PITA to deal with OBDII. thank god for stupid but reprogrammable ECU!

i am planning on doing this but.....(tease) not for a few years.

need to fix my org Q, bulid a twin turbo rocket with the parts car engine, and then twin the Q.

ive brought it to a well known shop in my area, they say itll be no problem to delete the original fan and stuff em in there.

Don't think they're too stupid Wes.

First, they have the coin to do it, so they're doing something right.Second, that isn't just for a couple hair driers. It's for everything they did to the car - complete turbo set-up, ECU tuning, suspension, wheels, tires, transmission upgrade, interior mods and probably a warrantee. Oh, and not to forget labor. Break out pricing for all those parts new and see how much they overpaid.

The following is a brief list of what the kit comes with the turbo set-up:

- SRT spec'ed custom forged pistons.- SRT spec'ed custom forged connecting rods.- Complete built engine, blue printed and balanced.- New coated engine bearing set.- Custom Head studs for engine.- Mild porting of cylinder heads.- All new seals and gaskets in engine.- Fully rebuilt transmission with blue plate clutches and new steels.- All new seals and gaskets for transmission.- Haltech standalone engine management system.- Upgraded fuel injectors.- Upgraded spark plugs.- Upgraded twin intank fuel pumps.- Upgraded SS braided fuel lines.- External fuel pressure regulator.- Electronic boost controller.- Electronic turbo timer.- Custom hand made, tig welded, mandrel bent, T321 SS tubular turbo manifolds.- Custom hand made, tig welded, mandrel bent, intercooler piping.- Power coated intercooler piping.- Custom twin front mount air-to-air intercoolers.- Upgraded torque converter.- Custom semi-solid motor mount drivers side.- Full Custom T304 SS, tig welded dual exhaust.- New AFE air filters.- All new fluids and filters.- Complete dyno tuning.- Complete installation and fabrication.

Oh Yeah, man I really get spoiled having a racecar motor with all that stuff already installed from the factory!!!!
