how about a thread for anyone who would like to give or recieve some insight on the beloved S/C??

hey there, i've got some questions about the s/c will increasing the psi to say 12 blow any off the seals in the 4agze?? and if so, what cani do to stop the seals from blowing

Driven Turbos

what twin charged car have you driven AW11_Chick? Not many of them around, and even fewer good ones...

anyway I think the S/C is pretty tame/boring. Mine had an 11-12psi pulley kit, exhaust, intake, and it wasn't all that impressive. They're strong motors though and take turbocharging very well, that is when it would start to become more exciting. A more efficient s/c pumping a decent amount of boost, like 15psi+ could probably make it a lot better, but for the cost involved I'm not sure it would be worth it when there are much cheaper options available (turbo, or 3sgte)

Yes, its called twin charging where you have both a supercharger and a turbocharger (or perhaps you have a turbo and an "anti-lag device"). Best of both worlds .... no lag, no parasitic drag at high rpms. Biggest problem is adequately controlling the air flow between two separate air compression, cooling and delivery systems and switching seamlessly between the two at different rpms.

Expensive and complicated ..... that's why no manufacturer routinely produces a twin charged car.

Oh, BTW ... drive a turbo car before you pay out on them. They are different to supercharged cars, but ain't necessarily better or worse ... just different.

ok, cool, tahnks for that, lol, i wanna try 2 do a twin charged car wen i ge th money, could be fun

theres a kit from the states they made, i think it costed close to $6,000USD..

and the kit would only be more expensive now...

plan close to 8k to get it "right"... then double it, coz it always costs more!

Graedon... i was being scarastic.. a T88 turbo would never come on boost on a 4age... maybe on a 1uz, not not a 4age lol

just so ya know:

T88
