It could just be me, but why would you run a turbo that small and a supercharger that big, it's back to front.

No idea, but the fact that there's no intercooler just means by the time the already hot air gets to the supercharger and gets even hotter, the turbo will have a nice time...

That engine is going to die so soon.

Its prob running on methanol and has some sort of water injection to compensate for no FMIC.

The turbo is only feeding from 2 cyclinders also so it would be slow to spool up.

That said, they are americans so who know whats they were thinking!!

a few points i noticed:

1. blower looks like an eaton M90 or M112 lysholm type.

2. that's a big enough twin-screw on a little 4cyl honda on its own, let alone twincharging it like that.

3. no aftercooler between the system and the engine = ridiculous intake temps, it must run meth or C16.

4. maybe the turbo has a large a/r exhaust housing, the main reasons to twin charge like this are to spool up a large turbo very quickly, and to keep intake pressures above exhaust back pressure, so the theory is you can run a larger snail for a smaller engine, with no real drawbacks.

all in all, a very strange looking twincharge, but the principles are the same as my setup.

perhaps there's a water/air intercooler between the blower outlet and the inlet ports on the head? they don't have to be large in volume and can be packed with icy water for quick track sprints. i like the remote-drive they set up for the eaton there, very innovative.

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
