ranwalk has a whipple for sale

 

Don't go with a side mount unit, get a full on Radix kit.

Do a search about The Twini. It's a Mini Cooper S that has a turbo added to it. It's one of the more successful twin charged vehicles I've seen that can survive on the street. You might be able to do a clutched blower pulley when the turbo takes over, kind of like what Merecedes does.

 

I don't want a full radix, as I can't run the air though my intercooler before it goes into the motor. I'm not a big fan of the radixes intercooler, I think the internal heat exchanger is a bit small. They seem to still have high IAT. And there big $$$. Side mounts are cheep. I think the sidemount will do just want I want. It should provide the low end boost to get the turbo spooled, and then the turbo wastegate will take over and control the boost to my desired setting. It only has to provide about 5lbs of boost from 2000-3500 and then the turbo will be feeding it the needed boost to get to 10-12 lbs from there.

The blower doesn't know the difference from compressing natural atmosphere to 5 psi and compressing air from the turbo that all ready 7 psi up to 12 psi. Both compressors share the load with the waste gate controlling the pressure. At least that is my theory.

 

So you would run the air through you IC after the sidemount? That sounds plausable. I was thinking you'd run the air through the turbo, through the A2A IC and then into the Radix, then through that IC. You'd have the advantage of step intercooling and the ability to make outrageous boost #'s. I can't for the life of me remember the exact math, but I know that if you have a SC pullied to make 6psi and you feed it with air that's already at 6psi from a turbo, you don't get 36psi. Infact you would get a little less than 12psi. I would just make the sidemount feed then engine at low rpms like you said, then have a valve, like they do on supras, and have it switch to the turbo at a certain load and/or rpm/boost setting. Then again, you'd have the SC spinning and doing nothing. Do they have a bypass valve on them? That might work, but that's where the pulley clutch would come in. Maybe that's what you were saying, but anyway, I don't think compounding would be too beneficial.

 

I love that guy from the VW commercials he just screws up everybody's car, I wonder what the next car he will F-ing up.

What would be the point of all that Boost by the way, for all that get the engine from the Shockwave Semi-truck.

You can catch all the other cars on fire at your local hotspot and every red light you can torch someone's front bumper.

 

What the hell are you talking about?

 

Seems like an interesting idea... but overly complicated for my taste.

 

How about this for overcomplicated?

Did I mention that car was debuted in 1986!?!? That's 20 years ago! Amazing....

Yeah that car was made in the glory days of Pro Street (yes it's dead). It was during a time when everyone was trying to out do one another. Hot Rod featured it recently and they said that it could barely power itself on and off the trailer. I'm not saying that can't work, but to take full advantage of 3 power adders.....well I don't think metalurgy as we know it could make that reliable. You'd have to tear it apart after every run like a top fueler.

 

Think i saw that in hot rod some time ago.
