How are the turbos configured?
The 3rd generation Mazda RX-7 has the world’s first production twin sequential turbocharged engine. The key word here is sequential. In every other automotive twin turbo setup, the turbos provide boost simultaneously. Each of the turbochargers in this type of application is generally smaller than the one turbo used in a single turbo setup. A small turbo accelerates quicker, suffering less from “turbo lag” than its larger counterpart and, as a result, produces less power and torque but sooner and at lower rpm. Fitting twin turbochargers in sequence produces better results as the first turbocharger receives the full force of all the exhaust gasses (instead of sharing with the other small turbo) and gains speed much quicker, which enhances throttle response and increases low speed torque. At a predetermined speed, the second turbocharger is called upon to add more boost. With the twin turbos in full operation, exhaust gas flow resistance is greatly reduced, contributing to higher power ou
