Turbo and Superchargers

Yes it is possible to run a supercharger and turbo on the same engine but the process is very complicated and is very inefficient. As turbos annd superchargers create heat while they work so when you use both, the air going into will become very hot unless you use a very large intercooler. They do create a wider power band however as the turbo will create power in the high RPM range and the supercharger will work more at low RPM. By using both you can eliminate their weaknesses but as I said it takes a lot of work, money and cooling power!

The turbo charger is powered from the cars exhaust gases this is why you get turbo lag the super charger is powerd directly from the cars crank shaft therefor it builds up speed instantly so there is no lag the power is there right away

Year/make/model would help with a more specific answer, but in general... black smoke is a sign of a excessively rich fuel condition, blue burning oil, white burning coolant.

Installation instructions should have been furnished with your kit. ---- theres a supercharger for the quad??? wait..no there isnt! -berettaspeed15 ^^^^Do you even you your brain man???? Just swap the head over from a Twin Cam motor (same engine), and use the GM supercharger kit for a LD9, you'll see 300WHP easily, low compression with the head and about 6-8 psi. ;)

sounds like getting to much fuel adjust timing on fuel ump

I bought a Fairline Sprint earlier this year, was told before I bought, it had a seized turbo. This turned out to be a blocked oil feed hole in the oil gallery, plus the exhaust casing corrosion pinching the turbine rotor. The solution was simply strip, clean and balance. £80 from a local turbo specialist.

It isn't really necessary. All an intercooler does (besides cooling a turbo unit so it doesn't overheat) is cool down the air going into the engine. The air only needs to be cooled because it passes by the hot engine and through a hot turbo.

in a car without a turbo, all there is to warm up the air is the engine, so you want to get the air from as far away from the engine as possible. The answer is a cold air intake. These are much cheaper than intercoolers and much simpler.

Depends on the supercharger, procharger and B&M have their own oils(self contained units). others use pressurized oil feed from the engine.

I would say that for more power and efficiency, you should go with the twin turbo.

yeabud you can def remove it at the part where the turbo and exhuast manny meat ussually four bolts remove down pipe and bolts to manny and walla what kinda car is it

Putting a turbo on a non turbo eclipse, right? From around $2000 for a Hahn stage 1 kit 200-225hp,stage 2 $3000 250-275hp, treadstone has a T3/T4 kit around $1750.

contact the person and make a complaint. you might get money back for the mistake.

sea foam.......from parts source

An engine equipped with a turbocharger.

yes, of course you can because turbo is driven from the exhaust and nitrous oxide forces air into the engine

You can get them from any auto parts store, just need to give them the yr/make/and engine.

They are screwed into the head.

Trouble code P1308 means: Acceleration Sensor, Signal

no you cannot intercool a neuspeed supercharger, a supercharger runs on a pulley not a pipe there is a way to cool them down but its pointless unless you have enough money to do so.

You would have a clearance issue as stated before. Either way your going to have to do electrical and cutting work.

You'll have to make more room whether you turbocharge the motor now or swap the motor with a twin-turbo one. You'll also either buy a reprogrammable ECU for the twin-turbo motor to work with the transmission and harness you have now or a stand-alone fuel management system so you can turbo charge the motor you have now. You'll need to adjust your shift points, air-to-fuel ratio, induction psi, etc. The cost of a motor-swap is about $3000. $1500 for a used twin-turbo motor from Ebay and $1500 for the ECU. The motor comes with: complete engine, turbos, all brackets and sensors, exhaust manifold, ECU, Intake manifold, power steering pump, ac compressor.

The cost to turbo the motor you have now is about $4500. $3,000 for the turbonetics turbo kit and $1500 for the fuel-management system. Not to mention if you have to change your intake system, O2 system, fuel rail, exhaust system.

While it's very changeable via tuning and physical modifications, I believe the stock WRX is 7-8 psi, and the stock STi is 14 psi. To get really into it, an Eaton M62 supercharger installed with stock pulleys is usually between 2-5 psi, and an Eaton M90 installed with stock pulleys will net 7-9 psi (just incase you're cool enough to try going the route of supercharging)

it could be a number of things...im no diesel mechanic but check your spark plugs and spark plugs wires, it seems your battery is ok if the car turns over...it may not be firing if the car doesnt start...so my 1st guess would be to check if ur getting any spark at the spark plugs there is only glow plugs not spark plugs. were talken bout a diesel right?

A blow-off valve is designed to prevent compressor surge on turbo-charged engines. Compressor Surge occurs when the engine's THROTTLE PLATE is suddenly closed, giving the Charge from the Turbo compressor, no where to go. So the blow-off is plumbed in somewhere between the Compressor's outlet and the Engine's Throttle body, allow unwanted Boost Pressure to be vented to Atmosphere or Intake stream before Compressor inlet. So, that being said, it should be obvious why most modern Turbo-charged, direct-injected Diesel Engines would have no need for a "blow off valve". A diesel engine is controlled by fuel, thus not requiring it to have a "intake air throttle plate". In a diesel engine, all mixing of FUEL/AIR occurs in the Combustion Chamber, by design the Diesel operates in EXCESS AIR situations, it can pump up to 600X times more air than it needs @ low idle. A Diesel builds peak power and Manifold Boost when UNDER-LOAD, so when you cut fuel to that engine while under load, the Manifold boost still has a place to go since the engine is still pumping air. The manifold boost tends to drop off quickly since it is being displaced by the cylinders, and since the turbine drive pressure will be less as well. This is why diesels provide higher levels of engine braking over petrol/gas engines as the amount of air to be compressed is still the same as if the engine was running at full speed and Jake brakes and other compression braking systems raise the engine braking performance even higher again.

Exceptions Occur

A few diesel engines of the past few years have used a throttle plate, mainly as part of some solutions in order to meet new diesel emissions standards. this is another topic really. I'm an off-road diesel tech, so I'm not really familiar with these light-duty/automotive diesel that utilize the throttle plate, so I won't say for sure if they would benefit from a Blow off valve.

Exceptions also occur in Modified applications where turbo shaft speeds and drive pressures are MUCH higher. Turbo failure is a well known side effect of pushing a turbo to it's limits on a diesel engine. Proper turbo charging can avoid these problems, but sometimes it isn't practical or affordable. So the compromise is to program a BOV into the TPS or APPS or with a micro switch to solve the problem.

Look up Pontiac Firefly. These were available in Canada as an option. We got the old N/A treatment here in the states.

No. The is a special oil available from your dealer.

One of the louder BOVs on the market is the TurboXS RFL (Real F$@%!#& Loud), although venting to atmosphere is not always the best thing for smooth driving. A vehicle meters the air before it enters the engine, and adjusts fuel accordingly. If the air is then vented to the atmosphere between shifts instead of being kept inside, then a rich condition occurs and bucking will result. This is the reason vehicles come with bypass valves from the factory.
