anyways rootchargers loves dry N20 to cool them down and to give a nice boost at the same time

a guy from jbody.org ran a mid 13 with 4.5psi and a 50 shot : ) everything else stock on the 2.4L engine not bad if you ask me

so i say S/C + N2O = crazyness

In a sequential system, both turbos are used in high boost.

Thumbs up Re: NOS VS> SUPERCHARGER

o yeah forgot to mention the dude with the s/c and n2o setup dynoed at 270whp with that setup i think thats alot for a car only weighing 2612lbs

now he just updated us and is now running a 70hp dry shot and is running a 13.1 - 13.2 i think he traped at something like 112 i dunno ill have to find out :O

still all on stock internals not bad if you ask me

but superchargers + N2O = Lots of FUN

i would suggest that to anyone thats into drag racing with there charger

i cant imagine what that would do on a second gen 3800 s/c engine with forged interals that would just be crazy

no

most twin turbos on stock cars come with the same size turbo. in fact, i think all twin turbo cars have each turbo the same size, but there probably is some exception i dont know about. and it is pretty rare to see sequential turbos where one is small and the other big. think about it, its not like you can just cut off the first turbo. your big turbo will be limited by the small one. if you are pushing lots of boost on the big turbo, your little one wont be able to keep up and will fail. better way to go is just one large single. thats why lots of supra owners go single.

FD RX-7's came sequentially turbo'ed too. Although I agree with your argument, ecause it seems almost all owners opt for a large single turbo.

Weiand makes some good blowers for a good price, you can check them out in any jegs or summit type catalogs. The 144's sit pretty low, so you may not even have to invest in a cowl hood, that would be a decent sleeper indeed.

I Would Deff. Go With Sc Alone. Much Safer. And More Reliable.
But If Your Thinking About Both Go With A Turbo And To Cover Up The Lag Thow In A Shot Of Nos.

Re: NOS VS> SUPERCHARGER

I like to huf nitrous but my truck dont...haha(uncontrolable laughing due to n2o intake)
If you go with n2o be sure to get the wet shot. You have less of a chance of buring pistons out...

Re: NOS VS> SUPERCHARGER

but doesn't the smaller spooling turbo limit how much boost the larger turbo can run? or is it all in the set up. i thought i read that somewhere
