Re: super and turbo charging

When ones uses turbochargers and superchargers on one engine, the turbochargers pressure feed the supercharger, not the other way around.
If you are using a blower then you can simply use a bypassvalve to "disconnect" the supercharger. With equal pressures on both sides of the blower the power consumption will almost be zero without the use of any complicated clutches.

Re: super and turbo charging

Yes you're only in need of a clutch system or fluid flywheel if you have a two stage supercharger whether you have a turbocharger or not.

The obvious benefit for a tubro-supercharger is that with just the supercharger you are throwing away free power! The turbocharger does not need any engine power to run it. It's turned by the exhaust gasses and can be manipulated in varying degree by the waste gate.

Re: super and turbo charging

i bet that thing's hella heavy, but if you're developing 6000+hp and the turbos give you an extra 600 from the added efficiency, i don't think the added weight really matters. thanks for the pics though, that thing looks sweet
