CorradoDriver 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Me too i hqve a 92 Dark Purple SLC VR6, whats the difference between turbo and super chargers?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zacon 0 Posted July 22, 2006 A supercharger/compressor is powered by the drivebelt while a turbocharger is powered by the exhaust pressure. I think superchargers are nice since since they give a more continuous boost, but turbos are somehow more fun ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoDriver 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Can you have both in your car?? if so must be some crazy ass boost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Yep you can have both. You can have whatever fits under your bonnet/in your wallet :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoDriver 0 Posted July 25, 2006 would that be safe and how would that work, you would continuous boost from the super and the turbo giving you that extra boost after that, how much BHP would that give you?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted July 25, 2006 VW have just released a supercharged/turbocharged Golf over here btw.........tho its only a 1.4L engine it produces 170bhp,the supercharger gives it boost till about 3k revs and then the turbo takes over.............back in the 80's Lancia had the supercharger/turbocharger combo in their ill-fated Gruppe B S4 rally car,it was producing silly power tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveVR6 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Theyre also doin a 2ltr TS for the Mk6 Golf :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 25, 2006 They don't need to because the current 2.0 Turbo is good enough imo! Uber bottom end and zero lag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bohall 0 Posted July 25, 2006 back in the 80's Lancia had the supercharger/turbocharger combo in their ill-fated Gruppe B S4 rally car,it was producing silly power tho That was some car, 500 odd bhp i think. I have a video of it somewhere doing an austrian hillclimb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bohall 0 Posted July 25, 2006 The very one! The sound off it is amazing. A car that whistles, bangs, farts squats and goes all at the same time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zacon 0 Posted July 25, 2006 I'd think it would be a problem to have both the supercharger and turbo running at the same time though, you'd need some kind of separation based on engine speed to fit both in a Corrado with a VR6 engine. It's wouldn't be that easy. These set-ups are made so that you would get a more continuous power from the engine over a longer rpm range. If I wanted to boost my engine, well rather if I could afford it, I'd get a turbo, but for reasons unknown to me, it's more common to supercharge the VR6. I've seen both though.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 25, 2006 What you need is a Mad Max style electronic clutch on the supercharger so that it can be switched out automatically, or manually :-) By which time there will be sufficient engine revs to get the turbo up to speed and take over. I personally think it's a waste of time. Sequential bi-turbo is the way to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
