Thinking about sequential options

[Brent]

Great post Gordon!! I am about 6 years behind you. I am running my old technology T78 on my track car(SSM) and hate driving it on the street because of the lag. On the track it really isn't an issue unless it is a smaller track. I'll eventually upgrade, but I'm happy with it for now and I got a really good deal on the turbo kit/intercooler. I get in my red FD, which is still sequential, and having instant boost makes the car so much more fun to drive on the street, but I just don't have the power that I want/need.

Gordon, what Mazda are you referring to that runs sequential with a two different size turbo's? Is that what the race teams run? I'd love to check it out if you have a link.

My younger brother is a Mechanical Engineer for Cummins and does alot of turbo R & D. He focused alot on forced induction(primarily turbochargers) when he was in college. He tells me about all the new turbo technology and it goes right over my head. He is a turbocharger Einstein... on a completely different level than I am. Unfortunately he doesn't have the patience to break it down in barney terms for me. The turbo technology(with the right controls like you mentioned) is out there right now to be able to facilitate what you/me/we want, I just don't think we know about it yet. I bet Charlies7 can chime in and tell us what all is available out there.

This Mazda is known as the 1993-1995 RX-7, FD3S, 13B REW or 3rd gen. You might have seen one before......maybe in your garage
