turbo/supercharger?
Turbo Mini Forums

ok then nutters, first time i've posted a question! when i finally get round to doing my turbo, got all the bits plus spare engine, the question is, supercharger in front of engine feeding turbo! any one done it or think it's possible??
cheers

I'm collecting bits, but the other way round - turbo into supercharger.



In my opinion, the best way to get usable boost over 30psi.

The other way round would not achieve high boost because of the positive displacement of the supercharger. The turbo, as it spooled up, would take over from the supercharger rather than add to it.

thanks axel
how the hell do you plumb it in between turbo and head????/

I'm also going down this route, although i've reverted back to the suck through supercharger for the summer and will continue with the turbo/supercharger route after coombe track day on the 29th.
The supercharger will be front mounted with the distributer replaced with a coil pack and the filter and alternator relocated.

Good link and not overly expensive.
I have not done anything about intercoolers at this stage and will probably get things up and running without one.

A THS cooler might fit in nicely with my install..hmm

Why not use something a little more robust, like a window regulator unit, or a headlamp up/down unit off a mx5 or similar?

Yes its for a blower bypass.
The rc controller is a fast acting high torque unit and they control on 0-5v which I believe can be out putted from the megasquirt to image the TPS input.
