Twin Charging the good, bad, and the ugly. Benifits? Draw backs? Disscussion shall follow. (hopefully):D

Twin Charging meaning Turbo and Super...:th_winking:
 


Pros - Custom...only 1-2 setups that I've ever heard of....
Cons - Lots of time and money
- Could easily go turbo, and make more power more easily.

The ugly...umm..the amount of **** under the hood trying to keep all that heat down?
 


They're more trouble than they're work. Even if you could get it done, someone with a plain turbo GP is out there probably running faster with less problems and more money in their wallet.
 
so then which would be a better solution for me would you guess? I want power but gas is a lil issue but not to big, but what kind of Turbo's set up would be good? I know turbos add to the mpg (as long as you treat it nicely)...also which would be easier to get more power with minimal cons?
Thanks!


Also: Since Supercharger pulls more at lower rpm, and turbo kicks on higher would twin sequential turbos do the same?
aka small one for low rpm big for high etc...?

Supercharger and turbo setups SHOULD get around the same MPG. The only time it'll affect mileage is under boost...in which you shouldnt be getting into under normal driving.

Easiest way to add decent power is to Intercool, and drop down to a 3.2 or so with some supporting mods.
 


Umm...ZZP has on their ALL OUT drag car...but they actually upgraded it to a single turbo XD.

If you want to whoop up on some mean cars, then just get a badass turbo setup, and make 450hp on a good tune, and still have good gas mileage.
 
There is a search function at the top of the page, that's what I used. This has been discussed many times if you want to search you can find some more info. People tend to change their minds when they realize it costs $2,000+ for a decent kit, then another $4,000 on top of that for a trans and other misc. stuff. That'd be a basic setup making 350+whp.

Turbos these days are very efficient and spool times have gotten better and better. The other part is the small lag you get sometimes helps the trans last.
 


well alot of people wil do supercharged builds, then realize yea its all good and what not but have the need for more power and go turbo....then blow up stuff demod and get out of the Gp scene
