What's goin on here? VTEC + Turbo + SC = Very hot engine...

[Mr. Oizo]

Crazy americans...

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.

[KamikazeR33]

weve put a supercharger on a turbo soarer with good results

[KamikazeR33]

but a hondaaaahhh.... ewww

[NXTIME]

I agree...should be the other way 'round. I have always liked the twin charger idea.

Even without an IC?

[paully_tee]

sounds like a very messy setup. (the honda)

[KamikazeR33]

Even without an IC?

nah of course there is a fmic

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!!

[StockyMcStock]

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.

have a closer look man

[INASNT]

have a closer look man

Where the pipes coming from the 2 cyclinders on the other side????

[Skylyne]

No. Have a look under the rightmost cylinder pipe

[Emre]

Where the pipes coming from the 2 cyclinders on the other side????

It's an inline 4, not a V4 or a boxer.

Why should the other two cylinders be on the other side...?

[geno8r]

Hmmmm its probably just for show! If it was in a car you'd have it up to a fmic for sure! Its just such an odd set up all in all it just makes me think it’s purely for show... Like cars at the autosalon, not practical, all for show! hahah

[StockyMcStock]

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.

[KamikazeR33]

den there is definatly 4 ports coming out from the turbo side... u sure u aint on drugs? u talking like noof

[cul202]

All I can say is...

1985 Lancia Delta S4 - 1.8L 4cyl with a highly successfull turbo/supercharged/twin IC set up.

mmmm... Group B

[Driver]

haha that flashy pics great!
