is it possible to get twin super chargers?

[TibsBeatALL]

or would it be better to get twin turbo.
or one turbo and one super
i don't want opinions.
so if you don't kno ur shit
back da f*ck off

<shrugs shoulders> well so much for someone to ask nicely....<walks away> LOL

turbos!
twin supers will use up too much hp and power to gte it to run right.....
twin turbos all teh way if youre going to wanna try that

[tibby01]

actually, a turbo/super setup would be great, but very hard to setup.

have the super provide power down low, and then have a big turbo pump tons of air once it gets up to speed.

[TibsBeatALL]

i'm hearing that a turbo/super set up is not that great. i'm told that the super will hinder the turbo's ability to perform to its max.
i'm wondering if a small turbo and a big turbo would be better.

i really only know a lot about single charged systems. once you throw in another compressor, things start getting screwy. check out all 4 pages on this thread if you really are considering twin charging your engine.

i really say that you just start off relatively small. go with a nice medium sized single turbo setup, and then see if its good enough for you. if, somewhere down the road, your hunger for more power doesnt feel quenched, sell the turbo setup individually and work on somehting new. single turbo setups with other improvements to the engine can be great as long as they are properly tuned.

Twin chargers can be problematic. Twin turbos are pointless, especially for the application on a Tib. The gain is not that much more compared to a single turbo...so in other words...it's a waste of money to go twin turbo.

A super and turbo setup ends up having problems. As tibby posted, that particular setup was decent, but the turbo ended up going in the end. In theory, if you have positive displacement, then the setup should work fine. The supercharger will charge up to the turbo, and then the turbo kicks in. You wouldn't need to shut off power to the supercharger either. In theory, it sounds good...but you need to tune the fvck out of both F/I systems in order to get it right. A PITA, and it just really isn't worth it.

Best way to go is prolly a nitrous and turbo set-up. To help spool the turbo faster, you would use the nitrous to speed up the spool-up time on a large turbo. This is the best way to go, if you still want your engine in tact after your 1/4 mile run (nevermind your supercharger and turbo for your super/turbo setup or your two turbos for your twin turbo setup).

uh???
if i used nitrous, my engine will be a POS.
why would i go nitrous if i want my engine in tact.

...dunno what anti-ricer (or maybe ricer even) group of people you heard that from, but if you used a safe amount of nitrous, your engine will not be a "POS". Only reason people bitch about nitrous is because all asian imports sport them...and it's considered "rice". Applications of nitrous are quite logical in a turbo set-up, as I explained. Also, you hear engines detonating with nitrous because of idiots who don't know what the hell they're doing.

Maybe you should read more into applications of forced induction and nitrous if you want to seriously create some power. Otherwise, listen to what your ignorant muscle-head friends think...or whoever you heard that from. You wanted facts, and I'm giving you facts.

[tibby01]

nirtous can be used very safely. you just here about nitrous causing engines to crap out cause idiots that dont know what they are doing just decide to strap a big shot of nitrous to their stock engine and it blows to bits. the way nitrogen works is at about 500 degrees, it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. more oxygen means more power(as long as there is sufficient fuel). also, when it turns to vapor, it cools the air going in to the engine, which allows for more oxygen molecules cause the air is denser.

if you know how to use your nitrous oxide system.. your engine will be fine....
peopel who dont know how to use it bash the nos system...

[TibsBeatALL]

i'm not saying that using nos will alway "blow up " my engine. i kno that it can be used safely and u can use it multiple times, but i also know that continued use of even small amounts of nos creates problems for ur pistons. it forces your engine to do something that its not supposed to do. it makes it run harder with a added fuel. and i did not hear this from my "muscle head" friends. cuz unfortunately i am just a weak little punk with nothing to do. just kidding. but i exaggerated when i said it makes ur engine turn into a POS. it hurts ur engine is what i'm trying to say. it's safe for a while. but it decreases the life expectancy of an engine.

[tibby01]

it wont decrease the life of your engine any more than running a twin- charger system. also, if you expect to get high hp, you will be getting new pistons that can stand nitrous.

[Arctic Chill]

When I said "muscle head" friends, I was referring to those ignorant bastards who think their stock Vettes and 'Maros are the "shiznitch"...and those who stay true to American-built cars...because they're built in other countries and people are too ignorant to see that.

As to NOS wearing down your pistons and what not, that's over a gradual period of time...I mean...if you used a safe amount of nitrous, correctly, your car shouldn't wear down within a year. That would make nitrous applications impractical and totally unstable. You can last a long time with nitrous, but you've got to bullet-proof your engine in order for your car to stand up against the stress from the nitrous for higher output ratings and longer engine life.
