Twin Charged Monster / 4G63

(months old, but thought we should log this car into the forum)

Excerpt:

After Pani's success winning the 2016 Pro Time Attack Championship he took a break in 2017 and this was created from the old car .
The power unit is a Twin Charged Norris Designs monster and figures are not released as of yet,its how the package performs not how many Neddies under your right foot.
The rest of the car was built as before by LCE Racing in Cyprus and the attention to detail is fantastic this is a completely new set up.
The idea was to keep the car standard looking but still allow it to perform at high levels.

All the cars graphics were done by Yiannimize and it seems its called the "Hulk"
More will be revealed later.

I would love to see more twin charged setups outside of ND's parts. Some homebrew would be super cool. I know a sequential should make that unnecessary but those things are super spendy.

Youre right Dallas, im sure any one of our suppliers (ER, BR, STM, Boostin P) could figure out what is needed. Theres got to be a

brand name on that supercharger that could be obtained & fitted

BTW, did you see the size of the superchager pulley. Its very large! Must be a very low boost setting needed to make this system work!

Heres a quick idle Vid. Theres a few grainy Vids on YT showing the cars in action

I find it interesting that instead of the turbo feeding the inlet of the blower, it looks like it feeds into the blower below the rotors. In the video above, it looks like the turbo feeds directly into the blower which is normally what I see on twin charged deals. Still, very cool.

BTW - The blower on both cars is a Harrop 1900 most likely originally made for the Ecotec LSJ.

Very true. The center section, rotors and case, are indeed made by Eaton. Harrop only has a small part in the blower itself. Like the inlet.

The idea was to keep the car standard looking...


doesn't it look like the blower is going to blow air right out the air filter? It obviously works and all.. just saying it looks odd LOL

I thought about designing the supercharger parts needed for the kit. I could take a week to design the parts in CAD. I lost interest though when I saw the advances made with electric supercharging. I am going to focus my attention on that when I can pick up the parts from some junkyard Audis.

I will probably CAD it anyway as a way to practice and keep my skills sharp.

what are you talking about, electric supercharging is still in its infancy... scratch that, its still a fetus... at best, its like a weak nitrous shot...

What's your point? I just said I was interested in the technology and how it could be modified to be better than it is.

thats my point... they way you said that implies advances in electric supercharging have been make that make it a viable alternative to belt driven superchargers...
