turbo and super?

[fargo_182]

ok im sorry i didnt search the forum b4 posting this, im a long time reader and this is my first post and im in a hurry and had an arguement with my friend, i did search google and couldnt find anything.

anyway my question is can you put a turbocharger and a supercharger on the same engine?

i said you can, and i bleieve i read soemwhere you could but i dont remember i ask you to be polite about saying hell no you loser if im wrong

yes. its called twincharge. its obsurdly difficult and overly complex.

the idea is you run a HUGE turbo, like a T78, with a clutch type roots supercharger. the supercharger kicks off once the turbo spools. it involves too many bypass valves, and is marginally better than a single turbo. its also very expensive.

its an oldskool 80's thing. i belive the only people who really went for it was the oldskool mr2 guys. HKS offered a twincharge kit for a VERY limited time. with the advancement of ball-bearing turbos i dont see an advantage of a twincharge over a properly sized ball bearing turbo setup.

thank you i knew i knew what i was talking about lol

It's possible, but pointless. Besides the fact that you can say you did it.

[TomsMR2]

its not exactly pointless.. it does make for a retardedly fast car.

I was just thinking about this. how about a twincharger but the supercharger is fed into the exhaust manifold rather than the intake manifold. This causing the a large turbo such as the T-78 to spool extremley quickly. I think this would work. does anyone see any problems with this idea?

True. It just seems like you could spend you're money a lot more efficiently. The fab work would cost a pretty penny.

its definately a first generation mr2 thing

I am pretty sure that Meguairas (that auto-cleaning supply company) show Integra had this done..........and I beleive that their company would have the money:pface

into the exhaust would be bad. Even more nasty gasses going back into the cylinder through the exhaust valves.

It was a kit for the first gen MR2's (supercharged from the factory in 88 and 89) and they did make stupid power 350ish on 1.6L 4AGE (awsome motor)

Sport compact car is *planning* on doing it on their Mini Cooper S project car (the one that is flatish black) It's on their website curretnly i think.

You would need very deep pockets!

Actually its not very hard at all, and the supercharger doesn't need to be bypassed once the turbine comes on boost either. The root style supercharger will allow for almost instant boost and ton of low end torque. That way you can run a what would normally be to large of a turbine. This allows for low and high end flow. A mag just did it on a MR2 with a V6 swap.

If you can get the mounts for a root style supercharger, then the cost shouldn't be extremely bad. I'd venture to say it could be done for under 6grand if you were good a fabbing some parts. Things like mounts and plumbing.

hey srlakin...you got my avator, i thought i was readin my post for a minute lol.........thats not cool , you gota change yours

[fargo_182]

wow i have to hand it to you guys you post rather quick, you guys :ylsuper

edit: just wanted to say i might be making a modded computer case after i get my 240 ('91) dedicated to nissan or the 240

and a quick question do you prefer fastback? or standard coupe style and what are your opinions on hicas? worth having? does it need alot of repair and maintenance?

[srlakin]

HAHAHA, my bad nissanrcer240, I got if off somebody else online! ayight i'll change it

[krazy skwerel]

you should so rice out your computer. ive seen it dona a couple times. just go to a hobby shop and get model car parts like a giant wing, then get you some random stickers and some neon lights.
