Cool....I guess I missunderstood a description on why the vendors were going with twincharging as opposted to just getting a turbo inplace of the sc....
great idea..if you can make it work. Best of luck to you.
Please keep the thread current on your progress, this is interesting stuff!

 

as much as twincharging is cool, a twin-screw(sprintex) is a thing of beauty, have you heard one? I heard atwinscrew on an older GTI, ZOMG!!!!!

not only do they make full boost all the time, theyre more efficient(less heat) and just as reliable, can produce more power than roots, WANT!!!!

oh now i'm all stirred up:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhVwy...eature=related

 

So the Sprintex still sounds like a Roots type charger?

Because one of the big turnoffs for me of the Rotrex kit is that it doesn't really make the idyllic supercharger scream.

 

lol....have you been in one?

One ride, and you won't give a damn that there's no whine

And to the OP....if you only want 250hp, do yourself a favor and just get a head/cam/header. You'll have 250, save money, and have no headaches over trying to get the twincharge system working right.

 

+1. Don't forget with the upgraded power, you will need to upgrade your brakes too.

 

Brakes are overrated, they just slow you down. I prefer to get dangerous break fading at high speeds. But maybe thats because I dont have the money for brembos

 

Blake is right............for ONCE...

Why upgrade brakes for a 250HP car....no need unless he is doing track events or light to light drags.....

LOL.....So do I....but I have Stoptechs. I push those to the limits every day....

 

And btw....Im too lazy to search but wasnt there a dood in Turkey on here that ran a TC setup with 750cc injectors that made mad power? I remember seeing the post so i know its on here. It was a few years ago....

 

FOOL! Don't think that you can come on here and talk crap now just cuz you got your mini to start.....sometimes.........

 

Ya gotta love some cool brakes

StopTech calipers
StopTech hats with RacingBrake rotors
CarboTec pads
SS lines

= some killer stoppers



Longboard

 

We started our project

We will use new TSI's twincharge system with stock internals

I will upload images step by step soon

 

Cool

Looking forward to the updates.

Longboard

 

 

 

Day Dream Believer

 

I will upload headers photos

 

Cool vid, thanks for posting..

Any updates on this build?

 

our project is done but with a few differences. First of all we tried twincharger but we failed. Now we have only turbocharger. I will upload all photos as soon as possible thank you.

 

There may be a new and different twincharged project in the wings...anybody remember the Wildebeest?

 

Speaking of Wildebeest, Hi!

 

BTW it is not hard to tune a twincharge kit if you know what you are doing. I am using 650cc EV14 injectors with a piggyback tuner. For drivability you need to stage boost based on RPM and TPS. There are tricks such as check valves and using the right boost source for wastegate control. We have produced plenty of twincharged cars with perfect drivability (not just Minis).

 

Don't spill too much, too soon, Mr. W.

 

Ok no problem. BTW have you seen my purple chalice? I might have left it at the shop last time I was there.

 

Sorry but IMO these are obnoxious.
