i don't know where i saw that before, but it's got a supercharger and turbo on it...

/\ Your correct!!!

of course i am...
was there a question? ;)

what was done to it, but I heard that the setup was no good....

i don't know much about it, just saw pics...
i imagine that it's not set up as optimally as possible.
and honestly, even on a high boost wrx like that, the lag isn't that bad.
it sure doesn't warrant that much extra time/money under the hood...

SCC is thinking about doing the same thing to a mini cooper S....should be interesting

these people need to donate me some money

yea i think its called twin caharing.. super street did it way back in 02 on a type-r it made 472whp.. it was great but soo unrealibe.. i even read tha greddy was trying to develop a kit like this for production but it fell off b/c of realibility issues..

In the original USCC in SCC, (Ultimate Street Car Challenge in Sport Compact Car for the uninitiated), there was a twincharged first gen mr2. it pulled 338 hp and ran a 13.09, but apperantly there were serious problems with the switch from sc to turbo at 3500 rpm and it didn't get good power again till 5000.

I think i'd have a sensory orgasm if I heard a turbocharger and supercharger at the same time :naughty: too bad they're having so much trouble developing a reliable system.

if you want to go the turbo-supercharger route, you should check the Nissan March Super-Turbo!!

There is "twin charged" MK1 MR2 that has gone 11s in the US. It was featured on the cover of Sport Compact Car years ago.

Turbo Magazine recently did a built up of MK2 MR2 and they installed a V6 with a supercharger and turbocharger.

Twin charging is a wonderful (albeit expesive) solution to turbolag and superchargers running out of breathe. They compliment each other.

what about twin turbos and a supercharger? ...there is always this beast:

/\ I just orgasmed :eek:

o0o0o lookie what i found:

In a Porsche 928

two superchargers on a motor isn't uncommon.
the rb26dett/sc that was posted won't fit in a skyline, it's been gone over quite a bit.

super street didn't twin charge the teg, meguiar's did.

the mr2 came stock twin-charged, and is one of the only vehicles that did it well...

i've seen others, mainly v8's that have both, but it's a bit of a waste. you can build an engine either way and get what you want, too much work to get both done right.

the mr2 came stock twin-charged
The MR2 never came twincharged.

In 88/89 it had a supercharger option.
HKS offered a twincharger kit for the 88/89 SC MR2s.

well, there ya go.
it's the only car, though, that i've seen twin-charged well...
(as a mass-produced kit)
