Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Supercharger and Turbo

This might be a stupid question, but im bored and just decided to ask: If you have engine bay space, would you be able to put in a supercharger and then add a turbo, if not why not??

Can you say blow up ur car

I'm not sure if its possible in a 4 cylinder...but on a V6 you can

i dont know, might be fun, like the matix for example, everyone says how it has so much engine bay space, then put that baby to the max...

its not a matter of room in most cars...the internals can't handle all the force

supercharger and turbo??

is that even possible?

Its possible. The Lancia Delta was both turboed and supercharged. Plus, it was only 4 cylinder.

So if i get a big block v8, do a full na tune, all internals, it should work right!!

I would think it would choke your engine to death. It's not about how much room there is, but weather or not your engine can process that much air. I would also believe that the supercharger and the turbocharger would have to be perfectly in sync. Don't get me wrong, anything's possible.

would be a nice little project if someone was brave enough!!!

so how would you do that exactly have the cylinders on the supercharger and have on the turbo? sounds crazy but anything is possible with the money

it possible 100% the super charger kicks in at lower rpms and then the turbo hits at higher rpms .. : ) lift lift lift

there is an MKII MR-2 that is turbo and supercharged and it's called "twin charged."

its also stupid IMO... why not just turn up the boost to get the same effect.

Sometimes being original is more important than being sensible.

i agree the concept is 'cool' and uninformed people will be amazed by the marvel of a supercharged turbo car.

but anyone with a decent knowlege of cars will come up with the same reaction i did.

if its for the sake of doing it, then i can understand, but there are people actually thinking to themselfs "wow, i want to do both" and i cant help but laugh at them.

i think there was a nissan back in the day that was also twin charged... i can't remember the name of the car.

damn ive had this idea ever sence like 2 years ago i didnt have a CElica then but i was thinkin about wat to put in to bust the horses sence its only 180 now but damn any one have pix of them twin charged cars i wanna see how that looks like

might sound crazy and stupid. but if you have the money, why not, its original, and rare

stupid.

It should be possible, if you have the money. But if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't buy me a Celica but a Porsche (isn't that more expensive here in Europe, for a boxster of course).

But 2 turbo's (or 1turbo+1sc) on a 4 cyl is possible, even with a Diesel engine. Look at the link.

1.9l Diesel with 2 turbo's putting out 212hp and 400Nm of torque (295 lbft, from 1400rpm on)

2 turbo 4cyl [ultimatecarpage.com]

i think it would be tight to see and at the very least hear

wow,
what an idea.

that can't be good, it just doesn't sound good for anything.

I bet someone already has done it though

imagine how cool that would sound though, the scream of a supercharger and the spool of a turbo all at once. hmmmmmm im feeling something funny in my pants.

hmm i dont know if its really possible.
Either way though your motor would have to be rebuilt pretty strong to hold all that power and force.
