Suck, Blow or both?
Don't shoot me.....its not a consideration of any sort just generally wondering if it'd ever been done and what effects this would have.
Fitting a supercharger (inlet) to a turbo-charged exhaust setup? I'd imagine boost levels would be ENORMOUS!! Cheap and nasty "plug and play" supercharger.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...item3cbdda6628 |
I've seen a sport with a charger fitted.

It wouldn't work, these simply cannot provide enough air to the engine, especially at higher powers. I'd even expect a detrimental effect to performance. |
Not Subaru but this lot did a pretty good job at it.

i recall seeing test's on them a wile back and the one's off ebay are no good but there are some ozy ones that worth but there about 1k lol and very little gain

I can't believe he's actually sold ten of them!

mate had one given to him and put it on his 1.4 fiesta and improved low down and acceleration but wouldnt be much good on anything bigger
|
twin charging you mean super and turbo oh turbos dont suck for the exhaust there driven buy it to compress the air it would work to decrease lag but you would need to swap over from super to turbo at some point like on the legy tt's

That thing is not a supercharger. It is an electric fan. They tested them on mythbusters and they actually reduce performance. They cannot generate any meaningful pressure. It is just a pc fan, they spin at about 2000rpm. Superchargers can spin 50,000 rpm and turbos well over 100,000rpm |

Additionally, multiple companies have produced aftermarket twincharger kits for cars like the Subaru Impreza WRX, Mini Cooper S, Ford Mustang, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota MR2, as well as the GM 3800 Engine, as in the Pontiac Bonneville SSEI, Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS among others.
The Volkswagen 1.4TSI is a 1400 cc engine that utilizes both turbocharger and supercharger. It produces 170 bhp (127 kW; 172 PS) at 6000 rpm and 240 N·m (177 lb·ft) from 1500 to 4750 rpm." |
I thought all proper superchargers were driven by the crank via a belt, Great for low down acceleration without any lag, How can you switch between the two as the crank is always moving?

Supercharging Subarus in the US is pretty common as they didn't get the turbo models 'til late on
How about TWIN TURBO's AND SUPERCHARGER :D http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...limit/0008.jpg Full thread here........... http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f121...-turbos-30519/ |
