4agze with supercharger and turbo

[lifeisviewtiful]

is this setup possible, a 4agze with the super charger and also a turbo? if so how would this be accomplished? i would imagine some serious custom piping/adapters/flanges does someone aready have this setup? i was thinking this could be ran like a twin turbo setup almost(one to handle high end and the other for low end torque). educate me. !!!!!!!

yeah, its called TWINCHARGING, search for twincharged and you'll probably find a couple of pages.

hks used to make a kit for the aw11..... the finished product is more of a "look what i can do" rather than actually increasing the performance for that kind of money. you can get a better performing car with just a single turbo than going with a twincharged 4agze

for drag i'd go with a straight turbo set-up... but for auto-x or circuit, i'd go with a twincharger.

Twincharging can theoretically give you fantastic performance... if done right.
The problem is that there is only one kit for the 4A ever made and as I understand it wasn't very well done, because it was never really planned for procution.

you don't need blingin' HKS twincharger kit. making the kit is not the hardest part... synchronizing and tuning it is the hardest!

a lot of people attempted but failed or should i say blow up!

i've only known 2 cars that're twincharged, one in Sweden or Norway (i can't even remember) and hybrid4age from www.grupotoyota.com.ph/board.

I have some ideas about twincharging. Like micro said, the hardest part is the switch from blower to snail (synchronising).
I just wish I had the time and money to do some research =/

I would really like to see someone get a really good twincharging setup going.
One blower (with magnesium and machined aluminum) and sequential snails would pretty much give you all the power you could ever desire with the feel of a N/A motor. Who wants to give their favorite manufacturer a call? They've got plenty of money laying around for research =P

there are a few with the hks kit over on mr2oc.com..... one guy just bought it done for like $5k.....

mike! i should have introduced you to vince... runs around town in a daily-driven twincharged AW11





he put the kit together himself... and makes some 3SGTE SW21s cry...

[SpeedballTrix]

Wow, looks nice.
How much boost does he run?
What kind of performance (0-60, QtrMile) does he get?
Is that chrome monster @ bottom left of the pic a BoV?

[VooDoo]

he's running 18psi right now... but i think he's working on upping it to 20. he's maxed so far with 25psi (with stock internals but that was just for a few runs).

he hasn't dragged the car since he upgraded his turbo and did all the manifolds and piping.

can't quite get what chrome monster you're looking at though.

[SpeedballTrix]

Wow... 18 psi.
That's nice.
I wonder what the s/c is putting out?
It must be pretty friggin quick.
Make sure to keep us updated if you get news =)

Are the supercharger and turbocharger in series or parallel?

[SpeedballTrix]

^^^ Good question. Im curious about that as well.

[Flashmn]

Parallel meaning theres a valve or sorts that swaps the SC off at some point and has the turbo feed air to the system.

Series has its advantage. Since you're having already boosted air compressed even more.
