cosmo 13b tt in repu ?
I am seriously thinking about doing a cosmo twin turbo swap with the auto and stock ecu and I was just wondering if any one else has done this project before?

I think you will have a hard time fitting the twins, there will not be much room for a downpipe without cutting into the shock tower.

Twins?
Hey Guys,
Just curious that you keep referring to your "twin" turbo'd engines. Are these Mazda units? Mazda never made any "twin" turbos that I know of. Please update me. All the turbo'd engines I know of from Mazda, such as the FD series Rx7, had DUAL turbochargers. One was small and spooled up quickly, while the other was bigger and provided boost at the higher revs. There were two of them, but they definitely weren't twins! Even the single turbocharger 'Turbo II' engine used that concept with a dual scroll compressor vane with different pitches and exhaust manifold valving that shifted the exhaust gases from the more accute angle to the lesser as the revs increased. Is there really a 'twin' unit from Japan or something that I don't know about?

The turbos in the 3rd generation (FD) rx7 and cosmo cars are indeed "twin turbos". They are identical size to each other but they operate in a sequential manner by using a very complex vaccuum hose and solenoid operated control system. I guess you could be more technically correct if you called it a twin sequentially turbocharged system.

Cut the fenders
It really hurt to do, but I cut the front inner fender...
I figured if some future owner ever wanted to go back to stock (?!) they could weld the holes back up.
It was better than cutting the hood... and less weight than using an air to water IC.
