It would have to have some sort of clutch on it, seeing that the s/c is normally used to spool the turbo. I say, save yourself some money and headache and get a 50 shot wet system to spool the turbo faster. I dont think the s/c and the turbo can work simultaniously can they?
Technical descriptionA twincharging system combines a supercharger and turbocharger in a complementary arrangement, with the intent of one component's advantage compensating for the other component's disadvantage. There are several different twincharging configurations. The two most common are series, and parallel.
Series systems, the more common of the two, are plumbed such that one compressor's output feeds the inlet of another. It is a sequentially-organized Roots type supercharger, connected to a medium- to large-sized turbocharger.[citation needed] The supercharger provides near-instant manifold pressure (eliminating turbo lag, which would otherwise result when the turbocharger is not up to its operating speed). Once the turbocharger has reached operating speed, the supercharger can either continue contributing air to the intake (yielding elevated intake pressures), or it can be bypassed and mechanically decoupled from the drivetrain via an electromagnetic clutch (increasing efficiency of the induction system).
Other series configurations exist where no bypass system is employed and both compressors are in continuous duty. As a result, compounded boost is always produced as the pressure ratios of the two compressors combine. This form of series twincharging allows for the production of boost pressures that would otherwise be unachievable with other compressor arrangements. A significant advantage of this method is the reduction in charge temperature for a given pressure output versus that of a single compressor producing the same output.
Parallel systems typically always require the use of a bypass or diverter valve to "select" which compressor is feeding the engine. Parallel systems are not compounded by design, and maximum manifold pressure will be equal to the maximum output of the compressors, whichever is greatest. Parallel systems often employ complex electronics to control bypass valves selecting which compressor is utilized depending on several engine parameters, driver inputs, and environmental factors. Mechanically-controlled parallel twincharged systems typically cannot provide a transparent and seamless switch between compressors. As a result, power delivery can have abrubt spikes.
that sr is ran in parrallel I will be running in series.thank you wakopedia....also to "me" nos is lazyness. thats just to me. granted once you get to a point it can be benificial. but you run out all the time and your gains are only there if you have nos in your tank. also how many people can say they have a twin charged ka24e?
