twins or single
 
look at my mods in my sig. I was going to go twins and u have the turbos and am this clost to buying the piping from a memebr here. but now I got to thnking should i really go twins or should I have gone wiht a 64/71/14 for say E.D.

the twins i have are a bd super b single over an Hte3b 23cm exh housing.

so my questions is should i trade/sel my twins nad get an ED single or the piping. this is a play toy over the road trip taker. but mainly a play toy

my DD became my 82 f-150 300-6yl now that it got its new 300 and two bbl carb

twins definately. it will make your power band longer. smaller turbo to spool up fast from take off and bigger turbo to buile boost on top of the other at higher rpms.

if you already have the turbos you may as well put them in:tu:

If you read that article, you would have noticed it was in reference to putting turbos off of diesels onto small-block gassers....and in that case, yeah, a HX40 might just be able to support 700 horse... Just my two cents...:w2:

bigdan120 07-21-2010 09:26 PM

Yeah I read that later after it was brought to my attention .. If I can remove it I will...Just need to figure it out,,,LOL:argh:

its all opinion, some say twins some say singles.
im running a super hx40 over an ht3b 23cm housing so its a close match you what your doing.
i like it alot.
twins you will enjoy the fast spool up, and the big turbo will never let you runs out of steam.you have the best of both worlds, especially good for towing etc. the spool up keeps temps down and you have the airflow.
on the other end alot of people enjoy a single turbo. less mess under the hood ect.
a single turbo creats more of a "challenge" in creating horsepower. requires alot more skill and knowledge with pump tuning.famous quote from HAMMER "nothing its harder then a big single when it lights". you can achieve good effects from a single with good pump tuning. if you know how to tune, you can get the single to spool up quick and still enjoy top end. it just requires more time and effort to get these results. with twins it makes things easier. for a dd and towing i would recomend twins, if you just sled pull and race alot, a single could be more practical. this is just my opinion on the debate as its all personal preference. hope it works out for you:c:
