(If i did this, it would many years away), but I was just wondering aimlessly in my thoughts, and I thought, what would if I put a supercharger and twin turbo charged it a 3.8? what do you all think?

 

Lots of money, lots of "wow" factor, not sure about the performance. Compound boosting seems more of a "bling" thing to me.

For the money you would spend on a compound boost set up you could really build a top notch motor and either run a really big blower or a nasty twin turbo set-up.

 

I think you need to quit thinking for a while.

 

Compound boost, 03-04 cobra guys have done it. But seeing that they already have a SC on the cars it isn't as much trouble as adding both.

Honestly there is little point to do both, true you do get some benefits of both systems if you are doing roots or screw sc. Instant torque of the SC and high end hp of the turbo.

But compound boost has its drawbacks of weight and heating up the compressed air too much can make it prone to detonation.

For all that trouble on a 3.8 you might as well swapped in a 03 cobra motor and had just as much or more power, double the reliability and better sound.

 

For close to the same amount of money you can get a coyote motor and a single turbo and run 20psi and make more than a twin turbo supercharged 3.8. That's what I would do or, buy an MMR short block and use 4.6 heads and a single turbo system making 600 horse easy. What power do you want to make?

 

I'm broke now, but what about a small DOHC v8 like an newer m3 with a twin turbo?

 

It's more trouble than its worth in almost any situation.

 

Completely agree. Unless your rolling in money and I'm sure as hell not. What I would do if it were me. MMR short block 2,500$ a single turbo system 5,000$ use my heads and a newer trans to handle power 2,500$ and i would safely be at 500 HP with no worries at all

 

Sounds like it could add up to a good down payment on something newer with more potential.... 4.6? 5.0? 5.4? 5.8? lol 03-04 Terminators are never-ever a bad start to build up on!

 

Why stop at a TT setup up? Let's go quad turbo!

 

A turbo for each exhaust port! That'd be hexaturbo powerpoWERPOWER!

 

And it has to be a v10

 

Decaturbo power!

Here's a guy with an octoturbo set-up. Crazy stuff.

 

I would do a single turbo over TT.

 

It would be a nice build for hellion setup but I think throwing one huge turbo on it would be better than two smaller ones.

 

You guys have never actually driven a "big single" car I take it

On a small CI moter I would rather twin 62's then set up for a big 88, if you don't know why I take it you don't know much in this area then.

 

I consider twins just a show off piece. There isn't really a need for them when a single can give you all the power you need.

 

Drivability should be better with the twins provided they are sized correctly. Smaller turbos have lower inertia.

 

Then I see you don't have any real knowledge in this area.

 

Ok mr know it all ********
