JaSSon Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 A kill switch? I'm not familiar with how to attach a kill switch to a blower... especially since superchargers are driven mechanically off a belt as opposed to being electric. Try www.vortechsuperchargers.com or do a search for "vortech" in a search engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Computerguy5 Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Why are you looking to put a supercharger on a twin turbo'd car again?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 I was wondering that myself. Maybe she's tired of the turbo lag? But i think it would be easier to find a twin turbo system for that car. Twin turbo would probablly get you more power than a supercharger anyway.

smokinHawk1647545499 Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Are you putting a SC on a turbocharged stealth? just get some faster spooling turbos. Its very hard to rig a "switch" to the SC. some have made a clutch of sorts to turn it on and off, very complex and very difucult to do. have you asked this question on 3si.org?? I know some company on there makes a SC kit for NA stealths/3000gt's Whats your user name on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthmonkey Posted November 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 I dont really have that much knowledge about superchargers. I can get faster spooling turbos. but there has never been a TT with a small supercharger. Well the stealth I own now is not getting any more mods in it. The next one I buy I am going to do alot of custom work on it. If you know these cars. They have no lower end power. Once you hit third what ever you are going against you will own it. I am looking to add something *non nitrous* to get that lower end power like an eclips or such from. Anyways, these are just theories and thoughts maybe on day be blueprinted and made from a dream into a concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 I have seen roots type blowers with a clutch, similar to an A/C compressor.... I'm not sure how wide spread they are yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B: it would do nothing but be different. Keep in mind, you're blowing air from 2 power adders into one. The blow would have to be big, in order to not be a restriction at high RPMs. YOu turbos won't be able to outflow the SC, and the SC wont be able to outflow the TTs. At that point, you might as well get rid of the TTs because they are an exhaust restiction, the suprcharger would already be supporting the power. A supercharger on turbo setup is very hard to get running right, and in the end, its realy futile. After the money you'll asking yourelf "why didn't I just spray a wet shot to 2000 rpm?"

Akula Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 IMHO, with the experience I have with dragracing blowers, you cannot run the engine without the blower. A good one will pump air when running and be a restriction when it isn't. The very nature of the beast is that you always have it on. I agree with the turbos blocking the exhaust comment made in an earlier thread. If you want more bottom end power you need more bottom end IE more cubic inches (not centimeters). At 572 inches we don't see any lag anywhere in the power curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Is your car a stick or auto? I haven't ben on this board long enough to know as much, but the people I know with bottom end problems just skip the bottom end altogether, usually with a high stall convertor for an auto or a mean shift with a stick. Just my two cents. Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKevin Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Well...if your looking for superchargers, www.superchargersonline.com has a shitload to choose from. For your car, I'm not sure, but go there and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGlue Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 What you want is a sequential turbocharging system like a Supra or RX-7. Unfortunately, engineering one might be more expensive than simply buying a car that has one. There have been some experiments on what you are trying to do -- it is called "twincharging", and there are a few websites out there describing it. I'm not aware of any that I'd call 100% sucessful just yet that were home done. HKS did a turbo kit some years back for the Supercharged MR2 (the reverse of what you are wanting to do), which I don't know too much about. It's been off the market for a while Theoretically speaking, you'd probably want to blow the supercharger output into the turbo intake, but also have a one-way bypass valve (maybe some kind of reed valve) to allow the turbo to draw air in when it surpasses the flow capacity of the supercharger. There should be no need to declutch the supercharger in that case. This would also allow you to run the air from both the supercharger and turbo through the same intercooler. If you did it the other way around, by blowing the turbo output into the supercharger, you would run into two problems: first, the turbo compressor housing would be an inlet restriction, and second, the turbo boost would possibly have a tendency to blow past the seals of a roots-type blower. Search Google for twincharging and you'll find some people who have tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
