Hey i wanna know if anyone has put twin turbos on a 3kgt SL if you have tell me how it goes. And anyone feel free to tell me if u think it will go good. I know someone is gonna say if u want twin turbos just buy a vr4 BUT the insurence for it where i live is like almost $850 every 6 months just for plpd and the SL is like $550 and for how much i would save per year i could just twin turbo the SL.

Thanks

ahhh...i would say it would be much easier to just put a single turbo rather than "twin" turbo...im not exactly postive but id say the engine has to be built to withstand that kind of power that a turbo brings... cuz i doubt the SL build could hold the 90 - 100+ hp that a VR4 has with its twin turbos...

I had the same question. I had heard that the sl was set up so you can twin turbo if you wanted to. Now if that is true or not I do not know. If it was I think that I would put a single turbo on, and not the factory size. I would put on a bigger turbo that can suport up to 20 psi and then look up what the car can safely handle and then put it at that. but like I say it is only if you can do it.

yeah im not sure. i wanna but beter turbines in the stock and **** like that. can u just put a single turbo on a V6 i dont think i have ever seen it done?

i actualy herd that the sl engine is a beter engine because i herd the vr4 is just like the base model egine w/ twin turbos and a few other stuff so it can handel the pwr. but dont take my word for that its just what i herd and i thought it made sence.

You can put a single turbo on. It just takes a special manafold. I know one guy in Kansas city M.O. that has a TT Supra and has put a single turbo on it. He has around 1,375 hp. It is just amazing. so it is possable.

but u know a supra is a inline 6 right so it would be alot easier to do then w/ a v6. i mean if it can be done i would rather just do a really big single turbo insted of twin turbos.

it is possible becouse they are both the 6g72 DOHC v6. so there may be a bit of modification but it should work and i have seen it done.
