I haven't heard anything about xs. But you should give it a shot and sell me your current turbo set-up.

Wouldn't that be a little bigger than the HKS 2835 twin kit?

If so, you may want to build the top end first.... You'll have to spin very fast to make use of all the flow.

I've got upgraded Crower springs, TI retainers, head work, and higher lift cams going in, something that would probably be needed to take advantage of the breathing capacity of two mid sizes turbos.... I have a big single in mind, though. Much simpler.

It's not a swin setup, it's a single BIG turbo, it flows more than the t88 and to4r. Meant for high HP applications. The 2 in TO4X2 is squared, just can't do superscript here Bascially its the larger version of the TO4X. I would be getting it with a 4" inlet 3" outlet, and its rated to over 1000hp.

Scott, where did you get the valvetrain componets and cams? Have contact info?

THANKS!!!!!!

Steven, i'm sure Scott will answer, but in the meantime, call Brian @ Crower, he can re-grind stock GE cores for you, matter of fact he did 272's for Ethan, wasn't sure he'd be able to, but he did.

P.S. - TO4X2, big things, big things.....

ooohh

you mean T04X^2 being a computer wiz, you should know your notation

i've personally never heard of the turbo... the T88 isn't such a big turbo; it just takes a lot of air to move because the A/R is like 1.4

I've heard of a Y2K, its the 2nd largest turbo i know of; the largest being a "thumper", a T100

From their website....

"When your application requires even more airflow than the T04X can provide, consult one of our turbocharger specialists about a custom T04X2. This turbocharger series is ideal for modified Japanese engines 3.0L and over or very powerful rotaries. However, applications are also available for certain smaller, extreme-output, racing engines. The ‘X2’ can be configured to support 550 to 930 horsepower applications and is designed to endure the rigors of extended and repeated use at extreme boost pressure levels"

correction... too much power = wheelspin; high traps with high ETs

i'd still go with a T70 or something cheaper and more configurable turbo

It only causes wheelspin if you don't launch it right, and can't control the car. It's all in the driver
