please read most of what was wrote before you post.....this is possible, as it has been done on otherengines(no tC yet)


i was not planning this for about 4yrs at least...plenty of time for a lot of learnign about the tC by everyone including myself....

yes i know this would be one hell of a money pit.....a deep one, but i hopefully wont ahve to worry about money then

this would be done just to be unique....same as an 800hp civic, or like a twin turbocharge cavvy...at least rare if not unique....

this was for opinions and ideas of where to get started, as with the eaton roots s/c instead of the centrifigual


thank you

tcholic

sounds like u dont know anything about duel charging, start from the begining sir.

Super street with ATI is doing dual charge on thier tC project car right now.
at least thats what they are claiming

I'm going to be real surprised if those idiots over at super street get it done. The only import magazine worse than super street is import tuner

I rode in my friends, friends, twin charge Cooper S. It had a Turbo and the stock supercharger. I can honestly say the crap has been literally scared outta me that day lmaoo.

Amen.. same goes for most of those magazines.. half - @$$ed knowledege they read somewhere.. now they are "experts" I dont even read the covers of those magazines.

Too bad a lot of this stuff is being done by these types of idiots rather than someone that knows thier $#it. But again, it is not a real practical project. But still interesting and hella fun if you have the cash.

Syxxpac

you wouldnt be talking about fireball tim would you?

Gargoyal

Agreed, but SS is not doing the build out. It is a joint projet by by ATI and Dynamic Autosports and they are sponsored out side of SS.

ATI has built a twin charged mini cooper before, so they might know what they are doing.:

Aslo agreed it is not a pratical project, but I can't wait to see one. I don't think we will ever see something like a twin charge kit for the TRD SC.

I like the idea of twin charging, but doing it with centrifugal supercharger defeats the whole purpose. You are supposed to do it with a positive displacement supercharger like a Roots or twin screw that produce boost at low RPM. The supercharger gets you going off the line and then spools the turbo which gives you lots of upper end power. It shouldn't be hard to get a turbo that spools before the Vortech starts producing boost, so it seems pointless from that aspect. I guess you could do it with a super stupidly huge turbo that would have trouble spooling at all otherwise, but short of that I don't see what it gains you (other than a horribly crowded engine compartment and a flat wallet).

engifineer

That is what we were saying. It would need to be done with a pos. displacement charger

I would love to see it done, I wouldn't do it to mine...but I would still love to see a TC that's twin-charged..and would really love to ride in one

PghtC

I just want to see a tC owner fit a roots or screw type charger under the hood.

kytc

^Me too, too bad that's exactly the problem though, fitting it under the hood.

I posted this in the other twincharged topic so my fellow Scion owners could see this too.....

you just couldn't let these threads die?


and fwiw, the video was posted b4...and i still have yet to see this car with the ignition on.

Rabid_Lemming

I'm sure your response has helped facilitate the death of the thread as well because it didn't change the post count or placement of it either.
