Yes and Probably

 

The concept is great. The bad thing about turbo vs na is that NA you can create a flatter, or at least more linear power curve. The dual (or sequential) charging can allow you to use a SC or a smaller turbo ahead of the larger one to create the nicer curve. That is the purpose of this type of setup. So turbo lag would not be an issue.

The issue here would be fitting it all under the hood.. and still intercooling it. The first must is a positive displacement supercharger (eaton roots). The centrifugal one not only takes up front space, but also has a curve similar to a turbo.

But, with our engine layout, it will be very difficult to fit a roots or screw type blower on it. You really need to rock the engine forward just a bit and modify the hood, or do some serious firewall modification to make it fit.

It would definitely turn into a money pit of a project, but would be fun in the end.

 

+1 for me

 

you could do what jotech did...lif the whole engine up... put it all together...the cut and trim accordingly from there inorder to fit it.

 

it would kind of funny to see a tC with a blower stiking laterally up the hood, like an old muscle car but sideways lol

 

heh heh.. I think just a hump in the hood to make way for rotating the engine forward would be the case

but hey.. we should do the big scoop just for fun :D

 

Simply enough good luck with all that money and fabricating...SO much work for that to work seamlessly....im sure ur oil will go like nothing, gas also....they got this idea out there for the Cobalt SS....someone has one runnin....They have a video on streetfire.net with a TwinCharged Ion Redline...hold on...http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...6420c4b395.htm
Ridiculous FAST....wheels spin in 3rd gear...crap....upgraded Supercharger....from their....60...i believe....or whatev

GL again...pffff

MORE PARTS MORE % of Failure/problems!! but Goodluck

That ion redline RIPS!!!

 

I had one of those. It was a lot of fun...:D

I had a 97 cav. i still have a 2.3 ho in my garage in pieces.

 

yeah I sold my built motor and the car.

 

that picture with the 3 chargers makes me want to take some lotion with me and go to a dark room for like 15 minutes

 

please please PLEASE dont get me started on this crap... if you know ANYTHING about boost you....NM obviously you dont. do you even know what your ambisnt pressure of your car is? plus the boost psi of the turbo +the psi of the SC? dude if i have to write a term paper telling you how stupid this idea is when i get home from work i will.

 

hey no one said that its going to work well... i wanna say super street did a roots blower, with centrifugal and a turbo... and it worked, didn't really produce as much power as that jumbled mess of piping and welding should have... but its nice to dream, plus if someone popped the hood of their car and i saw that... id give em props... You can't deny it would be interesting to see it work lol... then id take em out and whoop their **** with a single turbo setup ::

 

One of my friends has a cavy and visits a forum...I think it's like j-body.com or something....anyways he said there where like 3 or 4 twin-charged cavy's on there at the same time and they all had blown motors within 2-4 months and they where built internally...to much boost and boost spikes where the cause of the engines blowing

 

not sure if you read this whole thread but the civic in my area that someone brought up is like neverending with issues last time i talked to him... big thing being snapping axles... something not easily fixed with our cars since its so new and few people really know what our driveline is capable of

 

i guess he's up an running now but i know it took him a few months to get that thing situated correctly...

 

It is j-body.org. i used to be on there all the time. There are a couple of dual charged cav's, but I have not payed attention to whether or not they are blowing engines...

 

anyone who's taken apart a gm 4 banger knows its got issues in general. especially Old Duke, i shudder at the name.

 

this manifold looks like dr. octopus got a hold of it....



CRAZY!!!

 

The old iron duke...what a piece of poo

The 2.4 had oiling issues, but I beefed that up by installing the 2.3L oil system. It was bulletproof with the crank, Eagle rods, and JE pistons...and the head I built up to be good to 8000rpm...Was a shame to sell off that car.
