For reliability, I'd bet that a supercharger reduction pulley would be a huge no-no. I'm sure the engine will be near the max possible tolerable boost level. Adding another 4lbs of boost will probably kill it.

As for the pulley, you should get one now - you can always switch back. Considering the cost of the turbo kit, paying to switch the pulley back is peanuts. And this way you can enjoy the power now and in case you don't get the turbo, you didn't waste any time driving stock.

 

for the developers with this, can we see a real website with real sales? or get some real information....prices....warranty.....something!? we got our hopes up, well at least some of us looking into this , we wanna know more! (hopefully there is at least one other person so "we" means something)

 

Totally agree with you. This lack of info is bugging me big time. We were promised videos and nothing came of it. I just hope it's because they are putting all their time and effort into producing this conversion. We're gonna need info soon though or they're never going to sell this thing.

 

I second that, also.
Others are waiting in the corner to take our money.
AMD is working on 305bhp, 270lbs ft torque version based on Rotrex SP30 supercharger that we might see in Oct-Nov.
M7 is supposed to be working on their twin-screw version.

What's amazing is how much abuse members take when people make posts like this one. A production kit will be released shortly, oh yea, where is it? Just what's your definition of shortly anyway? TWINCHRGDMINI's last post on this thread was 2-27-2004 and it's 8-11-2004.

It's a cool idea, but I seriously doubt any company will make a kit to do so. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong.

 

Hope you are hungry!

 

Anybody else feel trolled?

 

He posted lots of pictures and a dyno, shortly afterwards. (1 day later)

 

So, what's for lunch?:smile:

 

Nefarious may share his word sandwich if you are still hungry next Spring..

 

Just be at the next SEMA show and you will not only eat your words but crow.
That is when this twin-charged modification will make its debut.

 

I hear it will be released the same day as the GIAC chip.

 

Umm.. you mean today? https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ewpost&t=29738

:P

DOH! (inserts other foot in mouth)

 

i would definitely be interested but I still haven't seen anything that they have promised. No videos, no real updates. I might as well take one of the t3/t4 turbos I have and start working on my own custom set up.

 

i'll take one of those turbos!!!!!!!

 

There may be a good chance for a group buy,will keep you and this site informed.

 

I would love to see this and would gladly eat my words if it debuts to the public. I would probably get in line for one as well.

 

TWINCHRGDMINI,
You started this post, would like to give the members of NAM some more info or posts. Your last post on this thread was 2-27-2004! How about an update?

The kit is in its final stages of long term testing. We have made numerous improvements that will make this a reliable, easy to install, off the shelf kit that will add over one hundred actual WHP in a clean factory like setup. The visual as well as audible cues will only add to the obvious increase in performance and fun factor.
We will be unveiling the Twincharger Kit at the upcoming SEMA Show November 2-5 in Las Vegas. In preparation for the show, we will be doing last minute testing at various racing events in order to determine how far we can push the factory components. Hopefully, we will not exceed its limits as our testing will culminate with our "Cannonball Run" from coast to coast ending with a cruise down the Las Vegas strip into the Convention Center for the show. Pictures and videos will be taken so stay tuned.....

As a side note: we built a second car, a 2004 MCS, that helped us accumulate far more data than we could have obtained with one car alone. This car was twincharged with only 60 miles on the odometer and over a two week periord, over 3000 hard miles were logged including a quick run to Florida and back. So much for following manufacturer break in procedures!

 

Woo Hoo,

I can now get excited again. I thought this project had died a death with no news for so long.

Glad to see it's all coming together.

I look forward to the video :smile:

 

TWINCHRGDMINI: Great news...i NEW YOU WOULD DO IT!!!!!!!!
Can I get tickets to SEMA show?

Also who is the manufacturer of the body kit you have installed?

Tell Hubie he is a great guy and I said HELLO

 

Thats great news. I love the wheels and the body kit on the car. Which wheels are those?


Thanx again


Danny

 

Those are Konig Holes.


Look good, aren't expensive, but are pretty heavy. Still, with that kinda HP...who cares how heavy they are?!
