My Twin Turbo GTO

[IrishChris1979]

I love this video! Both are amazing, awesome sounding GTO's! Nice job guys, thumbs up rating from me.

[iPROFITDON]

Why does that exhaust note sound so fucked up?

[XxlargemanxX]

who cares if he cant launch thats what practice is for

[MadDogTransmissions]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JustinH892]

He can NOT shift at ALL!!!

[RBCantrell727]

omg that gto sounds so sick!

[Amras0407]

Nice. Sounds sick. I've only ever seen one turbo GTO in person and that was on the interstate. They really do sound awesome. Like a jet taking off.

[akirasovan]

Exhaust sounds TERRIBLE for such a massive engine, lol.

[jiubi24]

too slow to be a TTGTO.... but damn!!! this guy drives worst than a old lady :P

[sklyrovka]

@jiubi24 you fucking dumbass, it's racing another GTO and you expect it to pull away that much quicker?

[ramairgto72]

Twin Turbo Chevy powered Import. Not a American PMD GTO.

[112choice]

haha it seems to me that America imported these cars by the boat load which is good to see but you americans NEED to import Ford's F6 typhoon and HSV's maloo R8. just think a toyota hilux style pick up that beats a Aston Martin DB9 round corners with a LS3 or swap it for a LS7 and still take your tools to work if you are a trade person that is haha noly then will america have some REAL FUN

[1016joecool]

acctually i think this car is movin pretty good it dosnt look slow at all if you watch the speedo for the short times it shows it i looks like there pickin up pretty good i dont think its a tt set up but ther goin pretty quick for pos gto'o

[2k6gto]

Haha Russ, I see you still have a bunch of doubters on this video!!! It is a TT people!!!! He just couldn't launch it yet :) Hope all is well bud

[rthomas34]

No kidding. If people don't see the hyper-warp-stars-starting-to-b­end-imagery it's gotta be slow! lol. Of course, I do need to learn how to drive it.

I'm doing good. 10 more months here in Iraq and I'm back home. Dropping a forged 370 in it, some heads, and I'm calling it good.

[toxicdiesel105]

@rthomas34 u wana sell the turbos

[0L0VEME0RHATEME0]

which ones the tt? i see the red one walk on the black, then the black one walk on the red

[elmacanas8]

that guy cant shift for shit!!!

[monopoly943]

@elmacanas8

tell me about! my grandmothers dead and can shift faster than that! lol!

[jonathan8751]

wow I just read some of the ignorant replys u had on theis video. Thats not boosted, It must be procharged, maybe a single turbo but no way its twins, etc. etc. I have a single front mount turbo on my gto and Ill tell u this if done properly all will make the same power. Look at all the supra guys that pull off their twins to put a big ass single on there. Im sure they didnt do it cuz they were making too much power. anyway rthomas34 nice car i have a pretty mean one my self.

[08SilveradoLT]

@jonathan8751 True, the advantage is twins spool faster

[jonathan8751]

@08SilveradoLT. 10 years ago yes but these days a properly set up single willl spool just as fast as twins. Ie correct size turbo and ar housing for the motor thats pushing it. Not to mention 2-steps. I actually miss some of the lag that I had on my old sts set up. I call it traction lol

[westy44cal]

sweet. Always preferred the top mount kits over the under engine. Tougher kit to install than the APS but IMO worth it. Did you do anything to support the turbos or do they just sit on the manifolds. Is their techs support good still, I heard APS kind of went into hiding after the oiling issues and what not. Is this a gravity oil system?

[rthomas34]

Thanks! The turbos do just sit on the manifolds but it's pretty damn stout. No issues with that. The support is okay. Martin gets around to answering you but he can be kind of straight to the point. lol. No oiling issues and it is gravity fed. I am finally upping the boost after this year in Iraq.

[mdgennislions]

yea from 2:05-2:10 you can barley hear it but i doubt he has TWIN turbos. maybe just a small turbo, cause its not as fast as it looks

[rthomas34]

It is a twin turbo set up from GEN-TTR. Not huge turbos at all.

[UltimatePwnag3]

i wonder what manufactuer bov he has

[techking231]

luv the exhaust sounds=)

[tipo87]

At least the guy knows it.... he really needs to learn how to shift. ;)

Nice car though

[Abe4racing]

Wow, that guy with the twin turbo needs to learn how to drive, he can't even power shift.

[420gdub]

you can clearly hear the turbo and blow off valve on the last race

[Bw321a]

from 2:05 to 2:10 i hear the turbo. slightly, but i can hear it

[FATMIKED5183]

I don'thear any turbos!

[psipig]

twin turbo my ass

[1qwkgoat]

What does the other car have done to it?

[kief4diamonds]

thats the slowest twin turbo ive ever seen.

[68snatchback]

the only thing this video is a good example of is cause u have the money doesnt mean u should be driving it! someone needs to send homeboy to driving school shit with that kind of launch i could prob beat him with my moms minivan!

[INUROK]

Thats a twin turbo?

[98montecarloz34]

it is a stock motor you can't boost a lot of psi or you will end up with little chunks in your oil pan that used to be your pistons, so a max of 10psi but most run 5-7.

[JayandJenn07]

?????? DUDE, I am running 18 psi with my magnuson and thats a suppercharger. these ls2 are good for upwards of 750 hp stock. its the bottom end bearings you need to worrie about. what you talking about?

[Endallbealllsx]

Are you really that dumb? ls motors run around 10 to 1 compression which is not too, boost friendly with pump gas. You can do it, but your a moron if you do. If you really run 18psi with out forged internals your retarded. I seen gtos pop pistons with 10 pounds.

[garrett6699]

not that it matters but the person the does the beeping always get a better start. This video is a perfect example.

[daj301]

why doesnt one honk first then the other then both at the same time?

[DSMDriver69]

i wouldnt say allways but most times yes they do

[fuknoz]

haha you guys should trade those in for mopeds and elbow pads

[libertyfalls]

Hondas are for Jap faggots.

[anthonyi69]

I'm confussed. Which car has the twin turbo's? And if it does why is there no wheel spin? I actually own a vy ss ute and all it does is wheel spin.1st,2nd and 3rd without any trouble...OH i forgot too mention that it is supercharged with a Harrop HTV 2300 and is currently running a 6ltr cast iron block with everything else in it.

[rthomas34]

Nice car and set up. I wasn't wheel spinning because I had t/c on. It would still spin in 1st and 2nd but the t/c really negated the wheel spin.

[HKuspDADDY]

cant drive for shit. nice car though.

[offroadfury6]

awesome Ride man, love that car :)

[gullf1sk]

man i love the v8 sound

[stratusfear01]

dude u got a BOV on there?

[rthomas34]

got two of them.

[angelicricky]

im gonna do a twin turbo install on my sbc 88 silverado,hopefully itll hit 9s at the track:].

[uniondude31]

how many pounds of boost r u running?

[rthomas34]

8lbs currently. Once I forge it I'll bump it up a bit.  Still learning how to drive it.

[uniondude31]

dang man thats cool. once u get it up more u better get some REALLY good tires or all u will do is spin them. That will be pretty sweet...

[rthomas34]

Thanks. The car is getting the last of it's current mods put on tonight. I have upgraded to a single-piece drive shaft, electric water pump, rear diff, and stronger half-shafts. Now I just need to forge the engine and mini-tub that bitch!

[DSMtsi23]

thats not twin turbo. other wise u would be tearing those tires off

[rthomas34]

Another "expert" spouts off.

[DSMtsi23]

Ya I am a expert. Do u know how much power a twin turbo LS1 or LS2 would put down. That supposed twin turbo GTO isnt even going that fast. Maybe it was procharged or single turbo but twin i dont think so. Either that or that guy wasnt getting on it. I have a ls1 with cam, heads, and built ons that would eat that GTO for Breakfast. Have u looked under the hood of that other car or did he just tell u it was twin turbo?

[uf4ggo]

shut the fuck up you bench racing faggot.

[rthomas34]

It's actually my car and there is a TT under the hood. Lots of faster cars out there.  Just be glad that you have one.

[mstreamer9991]

Yeah you're a real smart one, couldn't you hear the whistle of turbos dumbass?

[DSMtsi23]

Read my other comment. I said it my be procharged or single turbod.

[mstreamer9991]

Twin turbo doesn't guarantee tire ripping horse power, maybe it's only set at a couple pounds so he doesn't ruin his tires.

[rthomas34]

8lbs and it can spin tires until 4th. I am just not very aggressive (or good) with the clutch and dumping it at this point.

[Mazda6B6]

no rush. it's good to feel out the car before aggressive driving. Nice

[Burnoutss]

yea need to learn to shift better, but besides that it looks nice as, maybe a short shifter? gl with it

[rthomas34]

I do need to learn how to shift better. The throws are long in the GTO(even with the GMM Ripshifter) but it's mainly on me.

[NickFormicola]

They really are, it's also really spongy, hard to tell if you're even in gear sometimes.

At least, that's how my brother's old GTO was.

[Burnoutss]

gl with it, my dad owns a gto, il have to steal it sometime and give it a go ;)

[lamborghinidia91]

you guys both have fast sick cars and u both dont kno how to launch or shift good? is this ur first stick car? maybe u shoulda learnt on something slower

[GK4NTK]

im no pro but a suggestion, get it to a dyno n it will give your proper shift rpms.. or just give it hell till it starts droppin the nose n dont granny shift just hammer it in there built for some abuse. sick ride by the way. wanna race a s-10 small block sprying 100 shot nos ? :P

[rthomas34]

I'd love to run ya and thanks for the advice. If the damn car would get out of the shop I'd start practicing.

[figifister]

sick vid man...it takes time to master your car...alot of time ive had my Z for 2 years and still cant get things right haha

[rthomas34]

Thanks. I've had several muscle cars throughout my life, but I've never mastered shifting. It's a real pain with this car but I'm still loving it.

[9Ford6]

the guy in the burganday does the worst shifting ive ever saw!!

[rthomas34]

I'm bad, but I've seen worse. The one issue is that I would break traction if I was aggressive. Plus, I really suck at shifting. I've been working at it though.

[frrd108]

ya ik how that feels, my ttgto is tractionless. i tried driving it to shool and back this winter and it was hell lmao

[sg0238]

How many times can one man get owned?

[gmc35fst]

I hear no turbos!!!

Looks like stock vs stock, maybe some exhaust work.

[rthomas34]

The last run you can just hear the whine or the air being sucked in. You don't really hear the BOVs at all.

[rthomas34]

The goat filming was auto, the guy who couldn't drive (me), was in the TT SRM goat.

[EddieZ999]

Nice Goats, but I was very confused at both drivers. Not trying to be a dick, but those were kinda terrible races, shifts, launches, etc. My goat is basically stock and it seems to be just as fast as both of those cars. But, I bet it was fun and that's what counts.

[daytonpaul]

I know there wasn't a light tree but someone redlighted each launch(if there would of been a tree)

[aooskvarek]

nice vid. have any upgrades

[rthomas34]

Not a lot of upgrades to the engine. Bigger injectors and that's about it. I have a full suspension, upgraded half-shafts, single-piece drive shaft, etc.

[legacythegreat]

awesome man, cant wait till i enlist and hook my goat with some TT action lol

[rthomas34]

My tour in Iraq basically paid for the GTO. Good luck.

[Negroxc]

how can you drive that gto without knowing how to shift :S

[rthomas34]

Turn key, put car into gear, push down on the far right pedal. Not too hard at all. lol.

[iKennKenn3G]

UGH.

That sound coming from the turbo GTO everytime he shifts is BADDD...:(

[secondarychaos]

Sounds like a muffled Blow off valve to me, with a nice loud exhaust.

[Hawkman440x]

red gto-that car could be alot faster with a better driver...

[rthomas34]

No kidding.

[TexasFusion]

Nice GTslOw

[spiceredm606]

texas fusion loves cocks and dosent know anything about goats!!!

[w3sl3ysp]

wow nice.. can i ask you, whats youre average mpg?

[rthomas34]

22 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg in town. I can probably get a couple more miles with another tune.

[hh2hh0]

hey i heard that sound and plz tell me that was not your gears after i read that bubble that said you need to learn to shift i just thought that might bee your tranny im not tryin to make any one look like an idiot jw

[timmmmkay]

the last drag was the best

[hartattack940]

don't drop the camra.. haha awesome

[TexasFusion]

Hey "ed", why would you be sitting and recording video in the other car?

You fucking retard.

ps. the red one isn't TT'd...

[rthomas34]

TexasFusion, speak not of what you don't know. Or you'll sound like a "fucking retard".

[Iskarn]

Haha, OWNED, rthomas you deserve a high five for that bad ass come back haha

[davothejailman69]

looks like a holden :P

[nighthawk9421]

nice ride man, i think Ill have to trade my 02ws6 for a gto

[rthomas34]

One of my favorite cars. I'll be looking for one after my next deployment.

[oOdoggaOo]

are they 6.0 or 5.7

[rthomas34]

my car is a 6.0. My buds car is a 5.7

[SIcobraBA]

Nice

[bmwstrrcr]

HOLY SHIT gtott? Can I drive it!? lol nice car

[TexasFusion]

So your twin turbo goat is getting owned by a stock one?

Is there something you're not telling us?

[rthomas34]

What I'm telling you is that it's the driver, not the car. I blame myself for being such a crap-ass driver.  I am getting better though.

[edthetallguy]

I don't know what you were looking at but the red GTO (the TT one) won every race EXCEPT for 2 - both of which the red GTO got a late start on.

[shize9ine]

The red manual GTO is turbo'd. You can hear it spool and blow off every gear at the 2:00 race. The black GTO is automatic and sounds like stock exhaust.

[07GSXR1G]

great video, but which one is blown, I couldn

t tell. I love GM small blocks!!!

[UNHOLLYTRINTH]

NON !!!!!!!!!

[95WhiteTransam]

What is the shut off limiter, or governor on like a 95 trans am?

[turbospanky1]

yeah they dont sound or perform like they have much at all done to them

[jedwards09elmira]

I imagined a tt gto being a little faster than that

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[jarvis0033]

nah i heard it spool up

[rthomas34]

It does spool up. Trust me!

[thisismeson]

i hear no turbos at all.

doesnt mean that there isnt any though.

[inlineaif]

fuck you losers talk some shit.. LMAO im an aussie & there is nothing in an aussie car better than the alloy chevy... all aussie engines suck... & i would be ashamed to say that car has a twin turbo setup... its a fucking slugggggggggggggg.

[BoomJay19]

what in the hell are u talking about.. your a tool

[leoalero]

Looks like its n/a!!

[ck1thegreat]

automatic?

:-/

get a manual

[submitaweasel]

the tt gto is a manual, the seemingly stockish one is an auto.

[moroz313]

ive seen my grandma hit gears harder than that lol sounds great though

[rthomas34]

Ouch! True, but ouch!!!

[atreyurokr15]

its funny...the person honking normally gets the advantage

[frankie73kgt]

if only that RED GTO had a good driver.

[rthomas34]

Yeah, he pretty much sucks. But he's learning.

[EMG4Life]

most americans are assholes ive lived here a long time and i have learned that. but that doesnt mean its not fun to live here.

[luvofcars]

This sounds like an import vs domestic argument. And how are superchargers better then turbos? They both ram air into the engine. You just get to pick if you want the belt drive system to do the work, or if you want the exhaust to do the work. i like both.

[79HZGTS]

It can only be an "import vs domestic" argument if you live in Australia or Japan. If you live in the USA then it is an import vs import argument.

[Slipknotfanatic89]

And im sure you are aware that America does in fact manufacture superchargers...

[olds7980]

That red one sounds awesome!

[BurninRbr]

hey bf, you need to do some more research.

[bf6379]

Please BurninRbr, tell me what part of my statements you have issue with.

[bf6379]

Well????

[Nelso90]

Definitely a turbo in that car, a smaller one, but it's good usable power that you can't get with a big turbo. That exhaust is sick man!

[rthomas34]

Definitely TWO small turbos in that thing. lol. I'll be in Kansas this summer and would love to show any doubters. Can't wait to get home!!!

[Nelso90]

Well, yeah, twin turbos, but they're still small, and you don't get that holy SHIIIIT power rush that just spins the tires, it's more linear.

[rthomas34]

I spin my tires all the way thru third if not careful. Holy shit power is pretty decent. lol.

[praetorian2150]

definatly heard a turbo in there somehwere

[doubledeuce22250]

twin turbo my ass, sounds like a throttle body spacer w/exhaust

[rankovec]

How manny HP have this car (red) ?

[grotzy91]

omg listen to that engine

[TurboGSR96]

dude this shit is slow as balls, I want some money for my life that was wasted watching this video

[Hellaciousoutlaw]

its not the car that slow its a iser issue

[benanddavidproduct]

u wasted even more life commenting..

[CRoberts91]

sweeeeeeet

[matttheplumber00]

your car is slow my daughters power wheels will smoke that sorry excuse of a car... you disgrace the GM name. go buy a honda!

[DirtridinElCamino]

u dont have a daughter. u kno who i know. no self respecting adault would ever say something like that...nice car and his "daughter" must have a killer power wheel

[rthomas34]

Thanks Matt. You have shown me the light. I'm going to buy a Prius right now and make the world greener for your daughter.

[djacklowery]

LOL! good game.

[dizzyhd1]

Neither car makes a good power statement. both sound like stockers

[UnderJOath]

You sir...are an idiot.

[dub85lin]

I agree.

[dizzyhd1]

Neither car makes a good power statement

[yobtop]

just so you know, america did design the motor and tranny for the gto. They were made in mexico and canada though. sorry mate, holden is a test subject for GM. and before the put the ls2 in the monaro and commadore, they were put in later model corvettes. good choice in a car though.

[rthomas34]

The GTO was only made in Australia. None were made in Mexico.

[blubblub61162]

he meant the engine and tranny. and he is correct that they are made in canada and mexico (respectively)

[erinlouise222]

there called monaros here in aus

[AKJAMMIN]

monaros dont have 400 hp ls2 engines

[bf6379]

There were Monaro based cars sold by HSV in Australia that had 400hp LS2 engines.

[bf6379]

Holden is a test subject for GM???? What a load of crap! Holden were in the automotive industry before GM existed.

[mmtiger31]

stop being such a holden fanboy they've only made one car thats worth anything so get off their tit

[79HZGTS]

You are a typical arrogant American fuckwit. Just because the GTO was the first car that Holden exported to the USA does not make it the best car they have made. Holden build world class cars which is more than can be said about American GM brands. Using your expert reasoning, the best American GM brand is Hummer, because that is the only one sold in Australia. They don't sell Chevrolets, Pontiacs or Buicks in Australia because they are shit.
