Turbo charged & supercharged

[redgen1]

its called twin charging, and theres a whole article/spread in the december 07 issue of Modified Magazine, the title of the issue is PERFECTION and theres also a sick s14 in there. . . i stared at that thing for months

its called twin charging

Wrong twice today... meh, I've had worse happen to me

btw, numbers --its sitting at 236 whp, 161 ftb torque, but "with the new clutch and a bit more tuning, the twin-charge set up is anticipate to put down close to 340 whp."


i.e. one scion Tc not to dick around with.

from what I have heard, it's called compound charging. SC takes care of the lag and the turbo boosts the power in the higher rpm's.

that's it...SC helps with lower RPMs and lag, while the turbo takes its time to spool.

Not neccessarily, the TRD blowers are Vortech Centrifugal blowers and make most of their power in mid to high rev ranges...and at low speeds, they are adding additional parasitic drag to the engine. If it was a roots or whipple style blower, moving a fixed amount of air volume per rev that would be another story...but it isn't, so it's not :p

I highly doubt that the SC is helping that turbo spool up significantly quicker, and if the tuner chooses their turbo carefully, there shouldn't be lag issues anyway

true, guess i was thinking of roots style only, not centrifugal.

Yeah thats not the first one Ive seen 3 diff tc's in mags that were twincharged that paticular one is puting down low numbers because everything else is stockthe first one I seen was around the 320whp mark Illtry and dig up that mag i know its on the boat some where

I've seen this before.
Sport Compact Car was buildin' a MKII MR2 wit a 1MZFE wit a turbo, and a TRD S/C.

There is a company that does it with mustang cobras twin turbo and charged about 1500 HP on stock heads and internals.

DING DING DING!!! centrifugal sc's don't have the instant throttle response like roots blowers do. They build gradually with rpm. If anything, this set up is probably doing the same thing one large turbo would do without the hassle

Hellion those guys don't f*** around either hehe
