Super and Turbo

flashisflamable · 10-19-2007, 04:45 PM

could a car be supercharged and turbocharged?

**T-Type** · 10-19-2007, 04:46 PM

Yes, and it has been done before. I'm a bit too lazy to search the net myself, but I'm sure you could find an example if you look.

Volkswagen's twin-charger...

also, pike's peak racers.

Doable but it isn't necessarily good. Much heavier, more complex, more costly. You can only shove so much boost. The advantage is a supercharger can be made to give lots of low r/min boost and the turbo is more efficient, so using both and decoupling the supercharger after say 2000 revs would give better low end response.

GM had a 2-stroke diesel that had both. When I was a kid my Dad had one on a stand. It was old, dirty, made alot of noise, but very cool. As a little kid, it would scare me to death every time it fired up.

Hahn has a 'superturbo' for the Cobalt SS supercharged. Pretty cool looking

We have a large trailer mounted genrator set at work with a 6cyl. 2 stroke Detroit that is both turbo and super charged. I also believe Mercury Racing has/had a 8100 that has both on it. I know this is used on a lot of big deisel engines.

My buddies once added a small turbo in front of the stock blower in their Ion Redline, but it seemed the blower was actually restricting the inlet....didn't make any more power than the blower alone when pullied for 15 psi.

I've seen a couple old buses that had the turbo/supercharger set ups.
