I can't believe someone twincharged an Evo...

You, my friend, are officially "the MAN."

 

Wow...all i can say is Holy *****. This is insane best of luck.

 

Holset HX-50? Holy jebus, my bro-in-law runs a turbo off of that series on his dodge 3500 dually.

 

Sweet keep us updated. What kind of supercharger is that?

hmm... nice to see twin-charger set-ups are still around... don't see many of them... gl!!!

 

waiting for manifold picts.....

 

BTW, wanna loan me some money?

 

i can offically call you "the dudeness"

 

interesting

 

FWIW. I would consider mounting an small electric fan on the underside of the hood to suck out all of those hot gasses. That engine compartment is going to be like an oven.

 

Opcon Autorotor.

 

I've been looking at doing that myself, seems like someone would come up with a lightweight fan kit to suck the hot air out the engine compartment and out the hood vent. I'm in Louisiana it get freaking hot and humid here in the summer, and that would defintely help out a little.

 

Twin charging allows you to run an insanely large turbo and have it spool while the SC spools instantly. What would be keel is if the SC could shut down once the other turbo spools, it'll gain ya about 15% in power as the parasitic loss is gone and that turbo looks plenty large enough to make the power you need. So set it to have the SC shut off at what, 4200RPM to spool that Mac Truck Turbo with the extra exhaust gas velocity of the Supercharger, then have a clutch like pulley system disengage the Supercharger and let the turbo do the work.


IMHO you would make more WHP if you disabled the Supercharger for the upper RPM’s.

 

I'm keeping an open mind on this. This concept was tried 20 years ago when Lancia campaigned the Delta S4 in Group B. From what I understand it was extremely complex and pretty difficult to make the transition from supercharger to turbocharger.

Then again, there's another part of me that suspects this is an elaborate set up for April Fool's Day...
