I've been hearing from an individual from the dealer that GM is trying out plans to have two blot on supercharger on to the Ecotec 2.0 engine. From where he said whre the supercahrger is now, is to have another one on the opposite side of the engine. Is this true...? Has anyone heard about this being planned.....?

 

What's the purpose? Twin turbos work b/c they spool faster... twin S/C... nah... would just eat more power off of the engine... I can't see that being worth it.

 

Nope, dont even know if this is possible.... I know the benefits of Twin turbo, and a supercharger and a turbo, but dont see the benefit of 2 SC's....

 

Opposite side of the engine has the Ex Mani and no Room.

Get Off The ******* Meth Man...

 

Worst thing I have ever heard.

 

I was thinkin someone should do that! have the roots supercharger in regular position, and have a cetrifugal supercharger (vortec or procharger) on the front of the engine with the belt system and feed the roots blower with the centrifugal blower! You could make insane boost with that and use fairly large pulleys to reduce parasitic drag! I seriously think it could work, it would be twin charging it without all the header and exhaust modifications a turbo would need!

 

Hmmm,

F=MA

Force = Mass X Acceleration

Even if you have two slower pulleys and not one fast one, you are still turning more rotational mass because you have "TWO" superchargers. The One Roots blower has mass and drag, but now, you actually think that turning a second SC will "Reduce" the drag on the motor?? WTF?

 

Either way gas would take up the willingness to wanna buy. That's like 75.00 just to fill up...cmon really though!

 

Can you be any nicer about it? Seriously.. it was just a question and willingness to learn..

 

First off I cant beleive how you could hear this and think it remotly plausable for our cars and make a thread about it.

second to the people who think that twin supercharging hasn't been done or is silly have a look into this

hey, stupid questions get stupid answers. His reasoning was correct.

 

so you're saying Brian's answer was stupid ..Quite the opposite ....

 

Umm, Well then rather than saying...

"I Heard that GM is coming out with a Twin Charger Stage for the Cobalt"

Why not say...

"Is there any benifit of Twin Supercharging or would it be just as good if not better to change the pulley for $30.00?"

 

In "Details" on the right, why does it say "engine TwinTurbocharged V8"

 

because it doesn’t have an option for twin superchared when entering details..but is mentioned in the article on it ..regardless everyone who knows of the car knows it's twin supercharged and sounds menacing

 

Cool. Wish they had a video of it.

 

top gear has a nice peice on it ... I'm sure you can find it online or Limewire ect

 

Well, for those that believe that i ask a dumd question anyways most likely had a dumd responce,...Maybe i didn't get too much details from the dealer,...perhaps he was refering to the twin charged....???..i dont know,....sorry for trying to learn something new with negative feedback....

BTW, never say never, although its hard to believe....it has been done to quite a few engines,.....
