Greg, there are a number of reasons that I believe would
indicate there are better ways to go.
1. The two turbo Rx-7 assembly weights almost as
much as the 13B engine block
2. The twin turbo set up only provides benefit if
you have it in a vehicle that needs to get from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds or
less
3. Their reliability history even in the auto
where they are not providing boost continuously is not great.
4. The Rx-7 single turbos have proven very unsuited
for aircraft use and usually do not live long. The twin turbo is unlikely
to be much better in that usage (just my opinion)
A much better way for aircraft usage is to select a single
turbo designed to provide power/boost at higher rpm. Several folks have
done so successfully - check out their installations.

Has anyone tried the dual turbo installation in their
AC Do they hold up? I know they were using them in some
racing applications, and I am trying (again) to determine which is the best
way to go here.....
