Need a supercharger (this post)

Hey who ever can give me any info on how to supercharge my supra i would really appreciate it. I have been thinking about this for a while and i dont want turbos because of all the turbo lag that is created by a large drag turbo. I am interested in hot and heavy torque off the line and i am convinced that a supercharger will do it for me.

:devil:

Turbos have lag but supercharges eat up a good amount of HP to put out high boost...TWINCHARGE IT!

P.S. no one makes a supercharger...at least not for a JZA80 Supra.

Why dont you just get a smaller turbo that will spool up faster....you can get turbo that'll spool as low as 2500rpm and i think those mini ones spool at 1500rpm haha, of course considering the fact that they can only hold up to 500hp or so, but 500hp is a lot. Dunno all depends on what you want...yes supercharges eat up some hp...but they still give a hell of a lot of power compared to what it takes...the also give you more equal power threw your powerband.

what are you folks talking about there is a company that makes a supercharger for the lexus sc300, which have the same engine as the supra MKIV NA.. so why can't you use one for the other.

supercharge an inline six haha... it comes stock twins there small so theres not alot of lag but they dont' give high end power max abotu 500ish rwhp. Want more go single like a sp53-61 those are good size turbos that will give you range ofr 550-650 rwhp with fuel and other mods but you would never ever supercharge a supra thats jsut crazy... the car wouldn't be the highway king that it is. lol aight lata guys

You still have turbo lag. You'll be a lot faster with 7-10psi at idle.

Wow, all this dissing of Supercharging a Supra..... Listen to this. A guy I know has been working on cars since he was in diapers and he swore up and down, no matter how much we argued, there was a Twin SUPER charged 87 Supra... I am not convinced on just his word. But has anyone heard of such a thing? I never even heard of Twin Supercharging anything at all, let alone a Supra.....

Twin superchargers are a waste of money, unless your engine is so big you can't find one supercharger to feed it the boost you want, which is pretty much impossable on any car engine. You could "twin charge" and engine, a SC for down low boost, and a turbo for the high end. This has been done tons of times on old school rally cars, but it's complicated and expensive. About the guy who says there was a twin SC 87 Supra, it's definetly possable, anything is possable, but i don't see why anyone would want to waste the money, more likely he got it confused with the twin TURBOcharged 87 Supra, the GA70.

i'm in final process of supercharging 94 model 2jz ge cost around$20000 australian dollars 6 months to date big process. engine needed to be stripped to fit new rods & pistons to drop compression,new manifold mandrel bent had to be made to bring exhaust closer to engine to allow side mount of charger as distributer is in a bad place on top right hand side of engine the charger used is a twin screw whipple item rated 3l-5.7l chosen for its outstanding flow capacity all piping had to be hand made hks gasket kit used to allow max boost potential, full front mount intercooler was needed to cool system with duel staged injection prior to manifold to supply enough fuel, bigger injectors 800cc and bosch secondary fuel pump was also needed, haltech computer was needed to supply fuel and air mixtures beyond 9psi as factory item is non-programable all this amounts to around 600hp with "NO LAG" so far, still fine tuning around 2-3 weeks to go. I SUGGEST YOU JUST BUY A TWIN TURBO AND BE DONE WITH IT,I CHOSE TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS DEFFINATLY BEEN WORTH IT I WOULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN. WHAT STARTED AS A 2-3 WEEK JOB TURNED INTO 6 MONTHS OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

Twin Screw Not Twin Supercharger.
1 Supercharger Twin Internal Screws, For Those Of You Who Dont Have A Clue This Style Of Supercharger Is Used To Compress Air Internally Between Guess What??????? 2 Screws, Where Most Ordinary Superchargers Use 1 Screw To Speed Up The Air But Need A Plenum Chamber To Catch And Compress The Air, The Single Screw Chargers Are Only As Good As The Person That Designs The Plenum Chamber And Most Of The Time Its More Than Likely Just Ordinary. That Is Why I Chose The Twin Screw Charger Its A Proven Performer But Costs About 60 Percent More Than A Single Screw Item

That is NOT what he said, here is his exact words because you somehow can't read...
"...there was a Twin SUPER charged 87 Supra..."
I would think everyone knows the different kinds of SC's and there are alot more than just the two you vaguely listed. I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't post giving information if you don't know what your talking about. A "twin screw" could either be a Roots/GM style or screw type with the screw type costing much more becuase it's more efficient, although nothing spectacular over the Roots. There are no superchargers that use one screw unless your talking about,
A. a centrifugal supercharger which uses the comperessor side of a turbocharger and uses no "screws".
B. an Axial type SC which uses a single shaft with fan type blades, i.e. a jet engine.
C. a Vane type which nobody uses anymore but is offset with seals, sort of like a round rotary engine.
Having said that, all automotive engines can benifit from a plenum, especially forced induction engines, there are many reasons but I'm not going to go into that right now. An engine doesn't know whats feeding it, it only knows about the pressure and flow, saying one type of SC needs a plenum and another doesn't is rediculious. Also indstrctable, no it would not ruin an engine, timing would be the same as any other forced induction engine.
