Default Re: UPDATE!!! Twincharged crossfire numbers

Congrats on the numbers!

Can you create more boost without making the supercharger spin faster? e.g. what Eric is doing, having a twin turbo blow air into the supercharger.

Opposed to getting larger crank pullies to make the supercharger spin faster to create more boost?

The reason I ask this is because if the boost created by the turbo makes the supercharger spin faster just like a crank pulley would it's pointless on 2 levels.

1. It will end up destroying the supercharger as I believe its limited to somewhere between 17,000 - 18,000 RPMS. Any faster and it will literally melt.

2. If you really wanted to toast the charger you could get a 200mm crank pulley and run a Code 3 or something similar and make 30+ psi boost.

However if Eric's method doesnt make the supercharger spin faster and still increased boost then its a fantastic mod.

I'm not sure of the technical aspect so just putting it out there.
