kinda dumb guy here

im gonna turn 16 in a couple months so im really excited about getting my first car (wich i hope will be a camaro, if i can find the right one) but im really only just started getting into cars this past year so i dont kno much. i learned the diff between a super and turbo and that they both have benefits and stuff but i was just kinda wondering if there was a way to install both in the same enine?:confused: :confused: :confused:

It is technically possible to install both on the same engine, but it wouldn't be worth it. Maybe for bragging rights... "yeah, it's got a supercharged, twin turboed, intercooled, methanol injected, nitrous fed, big inch small block." :eek: :D

Hmm, you're giving me ideas. :lol:

I would suggest picking up Corky Bell's Turbocharging book. Do a search on Amazon for Corky Bell. He's got a book on supercharging too, but about half of it is taken from the original turbo book. :D

Also, you can learn a lot from (believe it or not), certain import and Mustang magazines. Either Hot Rod or Car Craft of Popular Hot Rodding is also running a big series of articles on turbochargers this month.

Hot Rod had an ongoing Turbo Article for the last 3 months. It wasnt bad. Told alot of how turbos work, and the important of each compnent in teh set-up. But didnt do a very good job on telling someone how they could get it to work on their car.

Ahh, I misread it. I though he was looking for information on how they worked. That was a 9:30 post, a good hour before the morning coffee kicked in. :D

Yeah they did, you just needed for fork over $17,000 for an engine and a twin turbo kit. :)
