ok, i was talking to a friend and i told him that i was going to do a custom supercharger setup. He suggested that i do a twin supercharger setup, will that work, i mean, will 2 superchargers create more boost than 1? thanks

 

know how much fab work that would take? and no you really wouldn't be able to run much more boost, stick with a single bolt on kit

 

do a search for the topic, there was a really good post on this about a month ago, it'll have all the info you need.

Stick with single, much simpler and in the end will give you more power.

 

I started a post about a month ago about this supject. Twin superchargers produce a fatter boost curve, more boost a lower rpm, and are easier on the supercharger internals. Each individual supercharger doesn't have to work as hard to make boost. It requires custom fabrication though. Hope this helps you out.

 

Hey man they make superchargers to fit the bill. you don't need dual superchargers. They make what is known as the ATI D-3 wich makes the D-1 look like a a small hair dryer. The D-1 is capable of like 800 hp and i beleve the D-3 is capable of flowing enough to feed 1500 hp or more.

 

Yes, it is true that superchargers are made that would fit the bill of twin superchargers, but the same idea applies to turbochargers. There is a large turbo or supercharger that would produce the same results as twin smaller units. The question is why not try something different? Just about anybody can bolt a supercharger on, why not try something custom. There are slight differences between a single and twin setup. Just a thought.

 

hey man, if you want to do it, I think it'll be possible, doesn't really seem like its going to make a huge difference though...

If you decided to do it, keep a running bill and post it just for grins, that'll be good to see. But if you got the money for it... :hail: I'll take some! I need new heads!

So what u are saying is that i will not see any more horsepower from a twin setup than a single setup? well than, if thats true, i guess that i will just go with the biggest one that i can get, within reason, needs to fit in engine bay with intercooler. What supercharger is huge, money is not a problem so just give me some suggestions, thanks

 

Just for the fun of it.....
Mike Sitar built a twin supercharged T-bird. Used two superchargers from T-bird supercoupes. It's a pretty neat setup really, runs low tens from what I remember. The only reason I can really see to use two is if you're doing a junkyard setup like this. If not just size the thing right to begin with and be done with it.

 

Here are some pics I ahve found. I am pretty sure it works, sme concept as twin turbos, but better =)

 

I don't know how to put more than one pic into a message.

 

whatever

 

whats this, can send 2 messages within 30 seconds =\

 

I could be wrong but I don't see any superchargers on the last two pics. Thats just a cold air setup isn't it? Big Block?

 

Sorry, I just had them in my car pic collection, and I knew I had at least 1 pic of a car with dual superchargers and saw that one too. I was in a hurry, you are right.

sorry

 

Unless you're going for an intimidating look like this, twin superchargers are not necessary. You can cet plenty of power from a single unit. Same thing with turbos.

 

beer

 

 

It is a 383 with a 400 r7 trannyy, It is putting out alittle over 700 hp at the crank or so my people tell me

 

don't you mean a 700r4 tranny? sorry i had to

 

years ago it might have been seen as necessary (if it ever was), because of the weaker SN paxtons and A-trim vortechs but now with vortech and procharger selling monsters that could turn $50,000.00 shortblocks into confetti the question is like that for twin turbos, Why? even turbo racers (with some exeptions) run big single units and import guys that had twin turbos on thier vehicles stock are converting to single. I guess it comes down to what is more important to you, power or gee whiz factor. In my experience, it is the gee whiz factor guys that brought us things like strobing headlights, neon kits, and other stuff that makes your car look like it went down the tacky isle at the local CSK with the crap magnet turned on full blast.

 

Yeah, I noticed I mess that up, it is 700 r4, =p

I like that, crap magnet on full blast, LOL

 

You are somewhat correct on the single turbo conversions. Ill use the supra community as a reference as they are the bench for all imports\rice. Most of them convert to APU status after they bolt on every possible thing they can (BPU+++). APU being advanced parts upgrade. This usually constitutes some massive single turbo like a T66 T76 or T88 supporting anywhere from 550-880rwhp. But the REAL BIG DAWGS use Twin Singles. This refers to using two of the big singles (T66\76\88), look up SaadSaad's supra. Hes using two huge *** hairdriers on his ride and laying down 900+rwhp to the ground. The equivelent here would be running a small block with two D1SC's with massive amounts of boost, same effect. If an inline 6 can lay down that kind of power whats stopping you people from going with two D1SC's? **** man 90% of the 800hp supras are using a stock bottom end, tranny, and rear end. If you want to pull the take a trip to the supraforums.com !

that is true. The button ends in most american cars can really do alot. Some of it has to do with our engines having more torque than the supras. I saw a really nice supra the other day. They look great and like the interior, but I would rather subport an American company and do a little work to make some more horsepower, than have the work done and send the money to some one who does not give a **** about America. After 9/11 There was only 1 over seas company that gave money to help people, and that was VW. Every American company gave although they were losing money selling cars with 0 interest and losing alot of the market to foreign cars.

:hail::hail: :hail:

 

there are probably more modified chevys and fords on the street than there are toyotas and hondas. Its just that must people would rather stick to using the car legally on a track then racing on teh street.
