Twin Charged Setup

kdoske · 02-12-2010, 10:32 PM

I have heard a rumor that GTM has a Twin charged setup for the Z coming up after their supercharger kit. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Although this setup would probably exceed most average peoples wallets for such little gains in only the first and second gear it would still be wonderful to see on our Z's.

In case you didn't know, a Twin charged setup is when a Turbo and super charger are used in the same engine. It gives you the best of both worlds. Low end torque and high end HP. I have also heard the setup can actually give insane gas millage on most cars that are driven 'normally'. On top of that it typically gives an engine the most beautiful purr you have ever heard. Here's a Lotus Exige with a twin charged setup. The sound is just, amazing...

550hp 1.8 ltr @ 32 psi Turbo Supercharged 2100lb Lotus Exige.

nothing wrong with the LED's they are just pulse width modulated at a frequency that is not working with the FPS of the camera. Much like an old computer or TV tube when filmed.

Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perceivable flicker effects from such rapid response light sources can be reduced by increasing the PWM frequency. If the light fluctuations are sufficiently rapid, the human visual system can no longer resolve them and the eye perceives the time average intensity without flicker (see flicker fusion threshold).
