I have been a fan of the concept of turbos and supers working together.

I know supers take power to make it, but it takes care of the low end boost and most of your preformance goals (minus the raw numbers though), and is pretty rare on a 240 from what i can tell.

I also think there would be fewer design and fabrication issues, I myself try to avoid chalenges that big as im a tad lazzy.

... but then again, ur already set in the TT direction, and its your project anyway so do whatever makes you happiest in the end.

Im pretty sure it can be dne for a cheap price......if you do it yur self.I was actually planning on doing TT on my 240 for a bit Using the RHB5 turbos that came in the MX6 and Probe. Them turbs are cheap. Its just the manifold that would cost ya. Or make yur own. I will prbably try this in the future....but for now i will stick with the single. And for the flow part...im pretty sure it can spin 2 small turbos with no prob. If a Honda can do it.....then i dont see why a ka cant do it.

To the two posts above mine...

You just don't get it. The benifit of running a twin setup on an inline engine is small, especially when the engine is already small. Just because there are two turbos, doesn't mean you can make 500whp with them and have them spool up anytime before next Tuesday.

Let me put it into perspective for you.

Supra. It comes with two. They do alright in the hp per cubic inch departement. However, when have you seen a 1,000hp twin turbo Supra? That's correct...you haven't. They ALWAYS go single to make the bigger numbers.

Only a large V-bank engine will benefit from decently sized twins. And even with that, when they want to make real power, they turn to a large single.

I never said it would make Big HP. Just saying that it wouldnt cost as much To do a tt setup on a ka. I know there can only be so much air the ka can produce to power 2 turbos. Just saying that its not super expensive to get a katt. Not going to be looking High hp gains but it will definatlly look bad ***. Now if your going to be looking for 400hp or higher in a TT setup I greatlly doubt. Good luck sppoling 2 big trubos to its full power gains.....good luck spooling them at all. Hope ya guys know what i mean.
