Supercharge a Stock V8 with Twin-Turbo Kit?

Please someone help me out!
i truly believe it can be done........


And wot modifications would have to be done???

you will not be able to supercharge any car with a twin turbo. No amount of money will make that happen.
if a shop tells you they can do it....... run the other way and lose their number...

lol...one or the other...not both together...oh man im rhyming gotta go!

oh another rhyme damn!

I am sure you could actually do it, but the question arises, why the hell would you do that? to see how high you can shoot your cylinder head off of the car?

well the question was "can you supercharge a V8 with a twin turbo kit?"
you can never superchager anything with a twin turbo kit.

in one of my old mags they had a b16 or b18 civic that was supercharged and turbocharged. the supercharger shut off at a certain rpm and the single turbo took over. i think it was sport and compact car... it was like several years ago.

It's called twin charging. It can be done, I have seen it on some guys yellow red mr2 and I will post a pic for the naysayers. Silly naysayers, get back in your tower! Although I do agree it isn't done with twin turbos on. But with more advanced turbos coming out, twin chargibg is dying. There is no reason for it any longer.

Just like a supercharged turbo....

I'm aware of the dual charged but he wanted to suprcharge the car with a turbo. with turbo you turbocharge and you supercharge with superchager... he didn't ask if he can supercharge and turbo charge. at least that's how I read it. oh well.

Hello,
In the new issues of TURBO they are Supercharging and Turbo Charging an MR2. The engine however is a V6 ES 300 engine I believe.

Ok, the TRUTH is that turbocharging IS supercharging!!!

The act of supercharging can be achieved in many ways including belt, chain or gear driven compressors or in the case of turbos an exhaust driven compressor. The key word here is compressor. Actually, you can even supercharge an engine (force more air pressure into the cylinders than is available ambiently) with properly tuned intake and exhaust manifolding coupled with optimized cam timing. Also, nitrous is effectively chemical supercharging. Consider that nitrous REQUIRES a compressor to force it into a tank before it can have its effect on an engine. In fact at ambient pressure and temperature nitrous oxide makes LESS power than plain old air!!!

To understand... non-supercharged engines run on atmospheric pressure. This is refered to as "naturally-aspirated" because only atmospheric pressure is used to charge the cylinders durning the intake cycle. "Super-natural-aspiration" (usually called forced induction) is the act of using (usually) a mechanical device to FORCE more air (pressure)(with fuel) into the engine. This process IS the process of supercharging, specifically CHARGING the engine with MORE than naturally available pressure.

Turbocharging is most correctly called turbo-supercharging. The turbo part is mearly the exhaust turbine engine means of powering the compressor (charger).

The TERM supercharging has become a generic term for crankshaft driven super-natural aspiration but a crankshaft driven charger is NOT the only type of supercharging.

that may be how it started. But it is not used in that context these days.

Twincharged mr2! I was going to look into that for my car before I killed it, super fast little buggers, about 350hp potential in a 2450lb car. HKS made a kit for it ages ago. 88-89 SC Mr2
