quad henessy murcie?
you all know about that the murcielago has 4 air intakes, and usually a supercharger can fit into one air aintake, would that mean that the murcielago can handle those 2 henessy twinturbo chargers and have like 1220hp?

First of all, you must understand the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger. A supercharger bolts onto the intake of a car, and parastically derives power from the engine (although not that much power). Its boost is controlled by the pulley size of the pulley that powers it. A turbocharger connects to the exhaust, and it is not parasitic. Its boost is controlled by a wastegate. You cannot use the terms interchangeably as you do, and the power produced by a turbo OR supercharger system is not determined by the number or turbos or blowers as you seem to indicate.
Hennessey offers a Murcielago twin turbo system for $75,000.00 that produces 800hp. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/...ctionReq=Where BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE INSANE TO SEND YOUR CAR TO JOHN HENNESSEY! ANY CAR! EVEN SENDING A KIA TO HIM FOR AN OIL CHANGE IS A BAD MOVE (if he did Kia oil changes)! Hennessey Motorsports is a tuner to stay away from at all costs! http://www.davidawilks.com/Autoweek.html http://www.automotiveforums.com/t39700.html http://www.caranddriver.com/article....rticle_id=2844 THIS ONE IS A MUST READ http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/sho...=true#Post9513 http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/sho...rue#Post309986 http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/sho...=true#Post9249 http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/sho...=true#Post9316

By the way, DiabloGT, the answer to your question is NO! Hennessey offer a TURBO SYSTEM-NOT A SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM! Since turbos are powered off the exhuast gas, it wouldn't matter how many intakes you have!

The air intakes, are throttle bodies. Different manufacturers use different systems. Look at Ferrari, they have 2, one on each side. Vipers, gen 1&2 have 2 also, while gen 3 Vipers have 1. Vettes have 1, and on, and on.
But also, they make them where you can have an individual runner per cylinder. Think webers, or mechanical fuel injection, or even like the Vipers GTS-r intake. The number of throttle bodies, or runners, is not what determines power. Although you must size the intake to the pverall power of the engine, it is not the determining factor of how power is developed. Even though turbo's and superchargers make power differently, they add power to the overall engine. So if all you did was that, you are best off increasing the throttle body size, injectors, etc.. The Diablo's were/are capable of producing over 1200hp on the engine alone, however the Viscious Traction system would blow, as it is not capable of handling all that power. Take Koenig, they are developing/developed an 850hp twin turbo sytem for the Murcielago. They already have/had an 800hp twin turbo system for the Diablo. So, since they have 4 throttle bodies, instead of 2 as the Diablos, how do they route the forced induction? Simple, they have a tube from the turbogoing towards the throttle body, when at an optimum point, it splits to send some of that forced induction to the second throttle body. The Koenig twin turbos of the testarossa, 512bbi, diablos, countachs, 550s, etc., have the turbo feeding its power to one bank of the engine, or they have a special intake that crossovers both banks. http://www.koenig-specials.com/bilde...tor_1000ps.jpg Make sense? |
