"twin turbo" is usually used in US and japan and "biturbo" is usually used in europe

twint88supra · 03 Apr 2005, 04:03 am

bi-turbo/twinturbo are different then sequential turbos. i forget what has sequential

Haakon · 03 Apr 2005, 05:49 am

twin turbo=two turbos with the same size

biturbo=different sizes(one small for low rpm's and one bigger for high rpm's)

Nortad · 03 Apr 2005, 07:39 am

It has nothing to do with sequencial turbos, it´s just names.
Biturbo name is more used in italy, spain, france, etc..
Twin turbo is more common in england, u.s, japan and north of europe.

This makes sense to me

twint88supra · 03 Apr 2005, 11:22 am

oh ok, thats what it was , the bi-turbo/sequential are different sizes, couldnt remember exactly.

Verrückt · 03 Apr 2005, 02:10 pm

Both are just names of setups with two turbos.

"Twin Turbo" is English and can be used to describe sequential (turbos plumbed in series) and parallel (one turbo on each cylinder bank) setups.

"Biturbo" means the exact same thing, but is the German interpretation. It's typically used to describe European cars.

Let's get it right n00bs.

Cant, then what is the RX-7 (FD3S) considered? it was called a twin turbo, but it had two different sized turbos (one for under 3k, the other after 3k)

I thought bi-turbo ment when the 2 turbos are attached together, i know Audi has bi-turbo because my uncles RS6 said bi-turbo on the carbon fiber cover.

They are not attached together. All Audi biturbo systems have one turbo mounted on each bank of a V engine. Likewise for Mercedes. Each turbo functions equally at all times.

Yeah, Bi-Turbo just sounds classier to me do it rightfully belongs to the audi, while twin turbo just sounds like a high performance setup, used for high speeds, and raucous performance.
