Its superturbo charged. I've seen an STi with a similar setup. The supercharger pulls untill the turbo spools and then takes over. Torque monsters... This STi I saw could run with Mustang Cobra R's equipped with T67 turbo's, sick.

wow, that would be pretty fast. the supercharger looks like it was made out of electrical tape though :wink:

where's his IC piping gonna go?

The guy said the blower was taped to keep it from getting scratched while work on the car completed. I would like to see a plumbing diagram of that thing, being as the blower is ont he exhaust side of the motor.

[Coolguy949]

I'm just wondering about heat issues with having the S/C directly on top of the exhaust manifold...

[Macky]

wow thats odd

Looks a little extreme. If he wanted that kind of streetable power he should have bought a different car. Im all for building cars and going the extra mile but that is a little much.

I think the term used for this is twin charging, and if it is tuned properly, it will be a monster. There was some talk back in the day of the Honda guys doing this type of setup if I remember correctly. I would love to see if this works.

That is nuts!

i too would like to see the piping diagram. Perhaps the blower is to cool off the exhaust manifold? heheh :lol: :lol:

[tabio42]

Maybe he's got a super duper heat shield. Plus isn't that SC kinda big? That looks like a 600WHP+ SC you would see on a vette or a cobra. Talk about parasitic power loss.

waste of money, time, and gas imo.

yes twincharging is the correct term i dont think i ever saw a honda do it but the old MR2s not the SW20s but the old supercharged MR2s used to throw turbos onto the exhaust side and run both.

[EVOla_VIRUS]

twincharging was common on WWII planes....what I would love is a twincharge system in which the supercharger would disengage at 3k rpm via an electromagnetic clutch (like the Mercedes suprcharger) then let the turbo do its thing above 3k rpm :)
