do they make a diesel engine with a supercharger.
We had this thread a while back, do a search.
It wouldn't be impossible, but it would be impractical due to the fact I'd need 2 intercoolers
you couldn't have the turbo charging the supercharger because the supercharger would act as a regulator. The " benefit " boost from the turbo would be held back from reaching the engine because the supercharger is still running in ratio with the engine and hasn't picked up because the rpm's haven't picked up whiich makes the supercharger boost.
in essence the turbo isn't "allowed" to do its job because the supercharger runs off the engine rpm not off the boost that enters it which leaves the turbo creating boost but the engine not getting to use it.
how does the twin turbo 2.7 v6 peugeot engines run, one small turbo charging a larger one or is it one turbo for 3 cylinders and another for the other three? i always thought that if one small turbo charging a bigger one would create a huge amount of vaccume in the inlet side of the smaller turbo, would this not be detrimental?
wrong, you need to run the boost from the turbo through the supercharger, watch this spacecan you fit a supercharger to a turbo charged engine? The way i see it is that the supercharger boosts in constant relation with the rpm's, and if that charged air runs through the turbo it'll increase the rpm, in-turn increasing the boost from the turbo, increasing the rpm's again which is charging the supercharger even more... correct me if in wrong
but I can think of easier and cheaper ways to ramp up usable performance, such as buying a different car in the first place.
