Question for Linux, Spoolin, Chris and more

[Protege01MP3]

basically this Q is for anyone who is boosted...

Have any of you planned on... or even done any type of research on twincharging these bitches?? i'm wondering what a combo super/turbo would do for our FS... a few of you guys are pushing damn good power as is, but I'm wondering what kinda gains we would get off the line w/ a supercharger thrown into the mix... any info would be cool...

I should be boosted by may-june (a little exaggerated to be realistic... hopefully sooner) and dont really have any plans on twincharging... the question was more for personal knowledge than anything... and hopefully I'll spark a good discussion


(**little side note... I've completely changed my mind about tripoint but haven't updated my sig yet lazy bastard... but now im torn between FM and Spool.... and i cant ask for advice... because i know what your all gonna tell me... spoolin is gonna say go w/ his.. keith is gonna say go w/ fm.. linux will tell me fm... deepcover will tell me spool lol**)

Peace

My kit is better!!!!(smash)
LoL j/k both kits are good, its up to you in what you want out of a system.

On a side note the intercooler upgrade is also finished.
It utilizes a front mount PWR intercooler.
We have been working hard to fix all the little bugs out of the system and making the instructions more detailed.
The full intercooled kit is $3495.
This includes all the intercooler plumbing and huge/super efficient intercooler, hoses, clamps ect
And the stage 1 kit that has some pretty cool stuff like

turbonetics external wastegate
tubular manifold
braided oil lines
anodized fittings
and much more

Here is a pic of the intercooler the core measures at 20x8x3
and has minimal pressure

I don't know jack s*** about "twincharging" but can that work? Wouldn't it be pointless to do so? I'm guessing that you would be turboing the (twin screw)supercharger right? (the turbo blowing air into the supercharger) The turbo would have to be pushing the same amount of air that the supercharger is to work. If not the tubo will be PUSHING the superchargers blades. The supercharger will take in all the air it needs to run and not any more. This, in turn, would cancel out the supercharger. Right? I can't really put to words exactly what I'm thinking but you get the idea right? I have seen a show car with a setup like this, but it was probably just for show.
Is there another way of doing it? Anyone?
My head hurts

Some of the scary rally cars had this setup (Class B?). I have some guesses as to how it works but I'll let somebody that knows for sure have a chance to answer first.

With modern day turbo technology a super/turbo combo is absolutly unnecassary. Back in the days of groupe B rally cars "killer B's" this setup was utilized to prevent turbo lag however today's turbos are very responsive. Since the 80's a lot has changed since then. With modern day compressors there's no need to have a super/turbo combo unless you want to be eccentric and have an added complexity that is unnecessary.

One could also twin turbo the car but there is no advantage. You could (if space permits) have 2 turbos mounted on a manifold (1 per 2 runners) but there is really no advantage by doing this, and if you wanted them to run sequentially (one for acceleration/one for top end) you would need special software that is costly complex and....well you get the point.

The only way that I see it would be necassary to twin turbo a car is if there are twin banks of exhaust runners like on a V configured engine.

 

[jonlisle20]

Yeah, I can see how it would reduce turbo lag back in the day, but not increase horsepower. Man trying to figure out how that would give you more horsepower than one of them alone was killing me. (scratch)
Don't you just love ball bearing turbos!

Spool is that price3495 with the stage one or stage two manifold???

 

[Protege01MP3]

jonlisle.. i never said anything about more horsepower... i asked about gains off the line... and most of the old twincharger setups on the MR2s had a bypass, that when engaged, would let the air the turbo is pushing bypass the supercharger... and yes.. i should have included it.. but forgot to mention twin turbos... small + large for low and top end would give the same effect... good info spoolin... appreciate the knowledge

 

[jonlisle20]

Ohhhhhhhhh......okay. Sort of like the sequential turbos on the Supra and Rx-7, but a supercharger and turbo combo? That's pretty cool. Supercharger first for off the line, then turbo for top end. Cool, but not necessary.
