Twin Charge!!! (the best of both worlds)
Imagine a Yaris engine, supercharged for low-down grunt before the turbocharger takes over giving max power trough the rev-range . This can be seen with the new Golf GT.
1.4-litre, TwinCharged 4 Cylinder producing 125kW and 240Nm of torque. It uses 7.2 litres of petrol per 100km of city and highway driving. Now my calculations are verry rough but if the Yaris internals were Beefed-up and with a lighter car and slightly bigger engine this could kill most cars on the road. Keep in mind the the GT is safely tuned.

They also make an aftermarket turbo kit for the Cooper S, to make it twin charged - I saw one at Englishtown a couple of years back - if they could fit it all in there, someone could fit it in a yaris bay if they wanted to.

Why not..we should look into a big blower with three butterflies sticking up out of the hood, and while we're at it, maybe a valved exhaust cutout for that "race-only" effect

We installed twin superchargers and twin turbochargers (dual-twin-charged?) on my friend's '70 Nova. Definitely a very cool way to go - if you happen to have about $20k laying around. I don't know that it would be worth it on our cars... you would be talking about around $9k for everything, for like 50ish HP, and thats assuming we had the room under our hood; which I don't think we do. If anyone wants to try, though, be sure and keep us posted and take pictures. xD

I am also wondering why? we can not even get a Turbo to run propperly by it's self let alone with a compressor.... If this were to happen..... It is a VERY long way from happening.... kinda like the Hover Board when Back to the Future came out..... Big Ideas no results

I think we may need to lock this one up for a rainy day.... and after the turbo hurdle has been over come, and a supercharger kit is out, and affordable

Basically, New Yaris, + that stuff can get you a much faster car, and more reliable car for all that money. Last edited by Lafiro; 09-25-2007 at 01:12 PM. |
