i was reading one of the older threads and i seen someone talking about running a turbo and a supercharger together just wondering if this is possible or not and how it would have to be done
4.6 v8

 

Anything can be done but there would be no advantage to this that I could think of.You can easily blow up an engine with either one all by itself.I guess you could use a S/C to overcome the lag that would show itself with a huge turbo while it was winding up.

 

Of course it can be done, but that does not mean it should be look at that 57 Chevy that had 8 turbos it only made 1200 hp which is alot, but there are cars making well over that with a single or two small turbos. Both a turbo and a S/C heat air alot, so with both a huge intercooler would be needed. In reality a single trubo (in some cases twin turbo) or S/C will be the best way to make power. It is however very common to spray a small amount of nitrous in a turbo or S/C motor, this gives a huge decrease in the incoming air tempurature, which helps make even more power.

 

I'm 100% sure somebody has done that to a ricerocket somewhere.
where was this 57 chebby with 8 turbos? link please.

And I was wrong about the power, it was only 710 hp. It's a cool car and all but just a example of why more is not always better.
