So, there is plenty of talk about slapping a turbo setup on an LSJ engine, but how feasible would it be to slap a supercharger on an LNF engine? That to me seems like it would be the best of both worlds.

I realize fueling would be complicated, because of the lack of available tuning data to alter the fuel pump pressure. But assuming that became available at some point in the future, it seems like it would be, in theory at least, fairly easy to obtain a used LSJ supercharger and bolt that up to an LNF engine. Seems like a way easier mod than trying to install a turbo system into an LSJ or a NA engine.

What are your thoughts on the idea of this project? Possible? Practical? Anything less that flat out awesome?

 

lol thats dumb. the price that would cost would be ridiculous compared to buying an upgraded turbo since you would have to change the whole settup. piping and all. not to mention ZZP is running a 11.9 on stock turbo.. so with upgaded turbo. it should be pretty impressive. but i think a big reason no one has done this is bc its dumb and would cost a lot

 

 

lol thats funny, pic says it all. oh and i find it funny his first post is about this?

 

Yea that would be completely pointless...

 

some company did it with the gtr with twin rotex centrifical style superchargers and the stock turbos....but i don't see why you would need it on an lnf you have power at 2000 rpm???

 

Try it out and let us know... I am all about it. I would tell you that you will make more horse power I just don't know the cost?

 

omg.. its not pointless. if you saw what zzp did with their twin charge kits it really helps the low end torq. Its just not for everyone.

 

I would do it if it were not so expensive. A TVS and a GT3076 would be awsome on this car.

 

definatly ur gona get flamed.... but just by people who dont like new things. it could turn out great but rilly just for power and not for the 1 of a kind look ide go with a bigger turbo althroug it would be sweet and the first person to do it.

 

tvs or twin screw..ugh the torq from the low then just screaming all the way to redline...the mixed noises would be sexah.

 

Idk how easy it would be to do but all you would need is a m62 the tvs or twin screw or what ever would be pointless in a setup like that.

 

No.. you would need way more than that.

you would need a custom intake manifold.. the supercharger just wont bolt to the top of the turbo intake manifold...

gonna have to re route the charge piping. As well as buy a bigger turbo.. bcuz twincharger on the stock turbo would just be idiotic.

Your going to have to somehow install the bypass valve that would work for teh supercharger, as well make a bypass on the intake manifold.

Your going to have to find room for a heat exchanger, as well as your intercooler pump and all the hoses.

On the LNF.. it is pointless...

 

No **** I was talking to the people who were saying omgz tvs.

 

Without proper punctuation, your sentence doesnt say waht you wanted it to say...

Either way, the list is still up there.

 

You got me. With out proper spelling, your sentence doesn't say WAHT you wanted it to say.

 

1 - If your just trying to be funny... and realize you made that mistake and it made your sentence a run-on which makes it difficult to understand... then ...

2 - If your serious... then... wow...

 

i think even if it's a good idea, with the amount of money you'd spend doing it you could to a complete engine build and upgrade the turbo on the lnf. probably pay somebody to fix the 400hp+ fueling issues too...lol Maybe it'd make enough power,...but maybe it's more hassle than it's worth.

 

^^ Thats really the jist of it...

 

I was trying to be funny with my first post directed at you

 

uhhh pretty sure SC's replace the intake manifold.... zzp already does this on lsj's it would not be much different except handling the DI specific fueling. but its going to run 2k+ so technically not worth it in most of the members on this site because they are cheap ass ebay turbo'ers. man the comments out of most of your mouths is the reason lots of helpful people do not participate on this forum...

 

All in all unless you just have money to blow, this is dumb. I mean if you wanna twin charge a car use an ss/sc lol. It would be to much effort and money when you can just buy a bigger turbo.

 

yes but the point of a SC is to get that massive low end torq which a turbo will not provide.

 

would require a custom intake manifold, LSJ one will not work the DI injectors would be in the way when trying to bolt it up, would need to run customer charge piping, a h/e can be fitted on the upper grill fine, they make compact ones, working charge piping is no big deal, the bypass system can be done the same way ZZP does theirs...although it can be done...hell we have the flanges to make the manifold at the shop, but would be pointless on the stock turbo, upgrade it to a GT30, than twin charge, that would be sweet, but you'll probably be in the same area as a twincharged LSJ anyway, which will require more fuel...idk im thinking too much, to the OP yes it can be done...should u...no there are better cheaper ways to get power, would it be cool, sure would prob end up being a huge thread if you ended up doing it :p would u see the results u think u'll see, prob not

 

$1500 for all the SC stuff, and a spacer plate to give the DI injectors the necessary clearance, then you need a bigger turbo, new charge piping from the turbo to the blower and whala. thats your essentials. Course it would be a good idea to get forged pistons and solve our fueling issue while you're at it, but its not as expensive as everyone is making it out to be.

edit: I agree with the above as well
