am i retarded or did i just read that there is a turbo(made by hahn racecraft) that you can add on to your alredy supercharged 2.0 ss? if so doew anybody know what the figures are on a car w/ it?

 

its on a couple cars but so far i do not think they have been track proven... just trailer queens..... tuning isnt there...

 

Its called twincharged/twincharging. Ive seen it once with videos on a redline with no tuning and it was absolutely sick! 0-100 in like 5 seconds, the speedo climed like it was a tach. 330+hp

 

Twincharging is more of giving you the "best of both worlds" where the supercharger is for lower rpms range and turbo for higher rpm's. But yea, for now they're trailer queens

 

i planned on using my cobalt on the streets so is it a bad idea to get it then ? if not whats the price on it??

 

trailor queens?
off road use only??

 

lol 0-100 in 5 seconds....no. but yes it twincharging is very cool.

 

that doesnt help my confusedness

 

Right now the twincharged kits are still brand new so no one really has much experience with them so tuning is going to be a problem. If you think you may want something like this, your better off waiting until there are a few more people that have it done and let them work out the bugs and figure out the tuning.

It's one of those things where if you have to ask what it is, you shouldn't do it to your car. I don't mean that in a mean way, but it isn't going to be something that you just strap on and go. It's going to require a lot of TLC to keep it running right. As for a daily driver, I wouldn't want it

 

the concept is that you're taking advantage of both forms of forced induction, the reality is that it's a plumbing and engine management nightmare.

it's cool, but usually more trouble that it's worth. HKS actually made a kit for the SC MR2 back in the day, they were reported to make 400hp ish... if you could keep them from popping. and the SC 7 rib 4A-GE (SC MR2 engine) is not weak.

 

sounds good

 

That was called exagerration.

 

so what is the price on one of these twin charger kits anyway?

 

You forget to mention the fact that when that video was made, it was raining and redline was just spinning the tires. My speedo does that too in the rain.

 

where did you guys see this video at?

 

show car only

 

If he has the SS as hsi second car then by all measn he should jump on it and help rush along R&D for the kits. Sure Twincharging is a complicated ordeal, it always has and always will eb honestly. Getting it to keep running will be a chore as well but considering he's interested in performance that shouldn't prove to be a problem. :

RIght now TC cars are not milk run reliable, it's all in the tuning. So if they had money to run a dyno cell for about a week I'd gaurentee you they'd have the tuning aspect down pat and then they would be able to move on to torturing parts to see what breaks first. Though, that would require a car that isn't a trailor queen doing the work as a mule.

 

is there a twin charger that is good for street use yakno like maybe 75-100 more hp? help it keep up there with those higher end cars or v8s easily?

 

yea well your "exagerration" was probably twice as fast as it could have possibly gotten to 100. Unless of course this twincharged ion can run 8's. LOL

 

once u get the car ull notice it keeps up with alot of v8 cars on the road already ... due a simple stage kit and theres ur higher end cars... intense stg 5 with hp tuners... u can get almost 300 hp and shes an animal on the streets

 

many v8's especialy from a roll are easy pickins. some of the better ones, like he said strap on a smaller pulley and u will give them competition.

 

i kill V8's all the time...

ain't no thing lol

 

hell i even raced a 99 S10 with a built 350 at the track and beat him

 

lol alright the twin chaRGER IS OFF MY LIST THEN.
