Default Twin-charged supra

I read this article in popular science and was wondering if it could be done on a supra mkIII with factory (or any) turbo.

http://www.popsci.com/popsci/bown200...cbccdrcrd.html

It uses an electronic clutch (like an AC fan clutch) to disengage the supercharger when the turbo spools up so that you get great low end AND high end without the super bogging your engine down at high speeds.

How BIG are superchargers? Could one even fit?

hmmm thats a wild concept.im from New Jersey and at the Philladelphia auto show i saw that set up on a Acura C.L type S. i dont fully understand how it works but apparently it does.answer to you question...superchargers can be almost any size.the make them for little Mini Coopers up to big block crate motors.yeah you could get almost anything to fit and work under your hood.it just comes down to how much MONEY your willing to spend.

Thumbs up

ive seen that article before, pretty much it probably can be done, i mean the type s at the philly auto show was very impressive...im also from nj so i was tehre too haha, but since these things dont come as a kit, everything is pretty much custom, custom piping, custom electronics, itll take a lot of money and a lot patience, and usually the patience runs out before the money, plus research has to go into the twin charger system and the motor to make a system that is suited for the motor...these things arent an easy process, theres a lot of components that have to be factored in...its not a bolt on modification like an intake or an exhaust, its a lot more complex...but hey if you somehow get this thing to work lemme know because i would like to shake your hand

Its kinda pointless now a days...unless you have a diesel. that was an early concept because turbos couldnt spool up fast enough, so they needed something for the bottom end. unless you just want it for the cool factor...lol..than go for it. toyota themselves already solved that too, with the sequential style twin turbo on the mk4. Plus unless you do a 2 way valve kinda thing, its just gona be a restriction when the turbo spools.
