can you turbocharge a supercharger????

[slr_theking]

arent they the same thing i dont kno ive always wondered ???

[dohcb7]

if u mean turbo and supercharge a car then no

[mcdizzle]

if u mean turbo and supercharge a car then no

wrong....its been done several times. google it and you'll find a couple evos and sti's that have been done like that

[slr_theking]

could you tell me y it is not possible by any chance???

[dohcb7]

well i always assumed u couldnt do it because the turbo charge pipping and the supercharger both go in the intake manifold. But i guess i was wrong and it is possible lol.

[Stealthman80]

yes it is possible and has been done

[dohcb7]

hey let me get a link to a pic or of one thats done.

[prNonVtec4u]

for some reason i find it pointless, maybe a benefit of less lag time but i dunno

[apuforyou]

supercharger= good from dig
turbo= good top end

twincharge= expensive, but cool

[slr_theking]

oohh alright thats kewl i was sittin here with my buddy and we we were juss wondering but hats kewl i bet it is real expensive but well worth it!!! could that be done to our cars???

[chessboxer]

it would be a first to have both done, so far as i know.

I seen a 97 prelude supercharged turbo at HIN awhile back,,,, Im sure it's on the net somewhere .........

heres some info for you.
a turbo works off of the exhaust manifold, or where a header or headers usually are, the manifold utilized the air exerted by the engine via the exhaust to spin the turbine of the turbo, which sucks in air via an intake and that air is pushed through the charge pipes into the engine. The amount of psi a turbo pushes is determined by the size of the turbo and how long it takes to make the turbine spin.
a supercharger works off of a belt, much like your alternator. The belt turns a pulley(part of the supercharger) which causes air to flow and is pushed into the engine as well(im simplifying things here i know). There is some parasitic power loss this way, but the gain generally makes it all worthwhile. Also, the psi of the supercharger depends on the rpms and the pulley size used.
So, the two can be paired together, just do a google search for a twincharged car. It is not common or cheap, and would require an extensive build, which I kind of doubt you would want to, or be able to get into, as most people here would not be able to.
Hope this helps.

in Holland there's a ITR with both and it blows 402 whp! Only forgot who it was.....
And VW has it on the Golf GT with a 1.4l with 170 hp.


TSI is a Twin-charged version of Volkwagen’s FSI direct injection engine. TSI stands for “turbocharged stratified injection”. This little 1.4 liter monster makes about 168hp and 240Nm of torque at 1750-4000rpm. This big amount of low-end torque is achievable through a supercharger that works up to 2000rpm before the turbocharger kicked in.
