Turbo supercharge


Recommended Posts

Yeah I think Pimp Cat meant Turbo AND Supercharger, as per VW's new 1.4 engine.

I'm not aware of anyone running a Vortech (or other) charger and turbo on a VR6. Would be quite difficult space wise.

Personally I'd just go biturbo instead, using a small one for low rpm funkiness and a bigger one for 911 whooping zone :-)

Running a centrifugal supercharger (such as the Vortech, VF-E, Z-E etc) along with a turbo would give no real advantage, as a centrifugal charger doesn't produce boost until 3500RPM anyway. You may as well twin-turbocharge.

HMS Engineering in Germany http://www.hms-tuning.de/ have successfully twin-turbo'd a VR6. HPA Motorsport http://www.hpamotorsports.com/ in the US have done it as well.

Using two small turbos rather than one big one gives a very lag-free setup, great for driveability. Mega-bucks though!

Enjoy!
