VG33TT Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 DO I need to run two waste gates,one for each turbo or can I run one large wastegate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Depends on your plumbing arrangement, but typically twins are on opposite sides of the engine (VG33TT), so each turbo must have a wastegate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you can run a single big external wastegate if the exhaust is joined before the turbos, otherwise you will need separate wastegates.

Guest Zcarsmakemyheadhurt Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Two manifolds, two turbos, two wastegates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 not to kill the idea or anything but these days with current turbo technology a twin turbo setup isn't very beneficial over a single setup. actually, its more expensive since you have to buy nearly two of everything and have a lot more plumbing.

VG33TT Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 I just happin to have two turbos. Maby I should sell them and buy one large turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 personally, i would. if you go twin turbo you'll need two wastegates and depending on how you do the intake setup two bov's and two aftercoolers. due to the intake design you'd probably be able to get an aftercooler with dual inlets and a single outlet and run one blow off valve. i still believe it would be more cost effective to just run a single. does the VG30ET manifolds bolt to the VG33E? if so, i'd just slap those on and put on a good T3 style turbo. if you have the money i'd get a GT30R or GT35R. the manifolds themselves will easily flow enough for 400 whp. they can probably flow even more when ported a bit.

VG33TT Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have the vg30et manifolds, thay do bolt to the vg33. The problem is the turbo interfers with the steering shaft. I plan on making custom a manifold Its the only way to get around this problem.I have a large intercooler with 3in inlet and out let and some 3in piping. 79 280zx with vg33 resting in engine bay.

mtcookson Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i'm dropping a VH45DE into my Z and my plan for the manifolds was to run them forward of the engine, then have them meet to a turbo flange. you could probably do something similar since you'll have even more room in front of the engine than me.
