HAHAHA!! some people jsut dont know...

But that's also an airplane. A car like that? I'm going to ram it if I ever see him.

he doesn't deserve a Mustang.......... Ford should take it away from him and give it to me.

Reminds of when some ricer was trying to tell my buddy that his alternator was a turbo.

Come on guys give the guy a break......hes just blown away by all the power of a v6....hes been riding around in a bondo'd up civic with a can of bees on the back up to this point......anything would feel like it had 7.5" pistons after that.

not a bad observation!

Well the P-51D V-12s ran a 5:1 compression on 100 octane fuel. They also ran crazy big turbos and some pretty massive boost so that they could stay running at altitude.

close...they ran a 6.0 to 1 compression ratio,with a two stage supercharger.

27L dispacement,4 valves per cylinder.


back in high school i had a question on politics on one of my socials studies tests.i didn't care enough about politics to know the answer,so i put down the firing order of the merlin engine as an answer.got two points for it(the question was worth 10)

did he say he was going with 2 turbos and a supercharger. Even possible?

Completely agree!

If you are really going to do all that why would you buy a automatic.? go back and get in you POS honda!!

possible... yes..... practicle... thats debateable. its called compound boosting and some guys sware by it, many will tell you its pointless.

basically you run the turbos or one big ass turbo first in line and duct them to the intake of the supercharger.

the two reasons i have herd it works is that the boos generated by the supercharger actually helps to eliminate turbo lag in the turbo because it is driven off the crank rather then by exhaust. and that it causes a stronger vacume into the intake

same concept as running two inline turbos, a small fast spooler and a big turbo to walk the big end

It is very posssible to run 2x superchargers on one engine. I got video evidence of it from the OKC car show that I went to. It was on a F-150, don't know which engine thou.

going back to the aircraft example,this is what actually saved the p-38 and lead to the p51 getting the merlin.

the p 51 started out with the allison v12,which was a single stage supercharged engine.it was known as a great ground attack engine(which lead to some of the early '51s having an 'a' designation)but was not too good at altitude.a switch to the two-stage supercharged merlin solved the problem for the mustang,making it into the legend it became.

the p-38s had the allison,but found another way around the high altitude problem.

merlin engines were in short supply,most were going onto lancaster bombers which needed four each.ford of britain's factories were put to use making these engines to supplement rolls-royce but with the '38 needing two engines for each fighter there just weren't enough to go around.

being a twin boom aircraft,there was a lot of extra room on the '38,so a different solution was found-one that would not have worked on the '51.
they added a turbocharger placed in each boom aft of the radiators to feed into the supercharger on the engine.by pre-pressurising the air in this manner the allison was made into a capable high altitude engine.

on a ground bound car it has the same effect.if you have the room,and are willing to put out the money for the extra equipment,turbos feeding into a blower will give a performance gain.if you can only afford one or the other,or if weight or space constraints make it a bad idea,plenty of power can be made with either one.
