Oh, i see. Well, good luck with all the modifications. If you installed a supercharger, you should be able to install a turbo. Did you work as a mechanic or did you teach yourself how to do all this?

Mechanic for 19 years now, thanks for asking, I hadn't realized it had been that long until you asked. The Crossfire is certainly a different breed of programming though. It took me months to work out all the details and I know why the others before me had problems. Domestics take about a tenth of the effort to manipulate.

Well seeing as the single turbo is making about 428rewhp on a DynoDynamics (506rwhp on a DynoJet) at a little over 1 bar... a TT setup could make a good deal of HP...on an SRT6 motor, can't say for an N/A motor.

The problem you run into is a space constraint, seeing as I am not a huge of remote mounts (though I will admit there are quite a few amazingly fast cars with remote mounted TT setups). There are several other factors you have to take into account if going for a TT setup, the other biggest one I can think of being reaching torque limits controlled by the TCU, which there is only one person I know of that has hit that on a M112 engine.

So, when you say a TT setup works very well with an SRT6 engine, do u mean after the supercharger is removed or with the supercharger still on? I am assuming that you mean removing the supercharger and then TTing the engine. So then the N/A engine of a crossfire is different than an SRT6 engine in ways other than the fact that it has a supercharger?

Different rods and pistons for lower compression ratio as well as other parts. The NA is still a stout motor sharing a guestimated 75+% of parts. I believe the SRT also has a beefier tranny.

please understand me, i DO NOT KNOW if a TT setup would work. There is only one SINGLE turbo setup that I know of making real power...

So to jump and say a TT setup would work well is a bit of a stretch.


...in theory it would work since eurocharged has been able to basically redefine the ECU on the SRT6.
