I have seen folks who are turbo/supercharging... what about twincharging... ie dual superchargers?

 

UMM... only way I could see that would be running a centifugal one... but I don't really see where it would fit,.

 

Yea I think fittment would be the biggest issue... I was already starting to visualize a supercharger on the back side of the engine with a custom hood useing a mesh pipe for the piping so you could cram another intercooler in. But that supercharger I don't think even if it could be crowbarred in would not get enough cooling.

I think it would be freakin cool though if it could be pulled off.

 

Twincharging is a supercharger and a turbo. I don't think I have ever seen a motor that had 2 superchargers on it.
If you did that to a 4 banger it would equal 1 supercharger for 2 cylinders. That would be crazy!

 

Not to pick at technical details, but I've always referred to twincharging as twin turbos or twin blowers. Dual charging is whats referred to as turbo/blower combo. At least thats the nomenclature around here.

 

It makes complete sense, but you're the first person I've seen refer to it as dual charging. I think you need to spread the work a little more.

 

That would be a pretty complicated setup, not to mention the parasitic loss from turning two blowers!

 

I've seen it used a lot lately since VW is coming out with that dual charged 1.4L for the Golf GT or whatever it is. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005...roducing_.html

Edit: the dual charging nomenclature that is, not twin blowers.

 

if this can be done, then 2 superchargers can be done on our cars.

oh yeah. 8 turbo v8 57 belair

 

LOL, I've seen that pic a while back, I think theres a website about it complete with dyno numbers. Actually not that powerful of an engine, mostly a show car.

 

Thanks Witt yea I was thinking the same thing. There are a few cars about that have actual twin charging...

 

HOLY ****... I've seen that before... also a friend and I just completed a 2300 hp twin vortech supercharged 462 ci buick motor.... car should be completed and at the track by mid sept..

 

That belair pic is freakin hilarious.

 

I agree with you, but even that website contradicts itself! Clicky. I think it's time to start a petition.

 

Wow, yeah they did. I think its one of those pop, soda, coke debate things. I say we have a google fight to determine. http://www.googlefight.com/index.php...2=Twincharging

 

space bar dominates!

Edit: I've never seen that website before...now I will be occupied for the rest of the day at work. Thanks!

yeah that car was up here at the Gm show in Carlisle...i wanted him to start it up, and here all those blow off's.....
