The Mythical Twin Charger

For some people going fast is what is important to them. I've always wanted a really fast car, but have never been able to afford one. We all know that building a naturally aspirated car costs the most money. An affordable way to go fast is forced induction, either supercharging or turbocharging. Both methods use compressor wheels to force air into the intake chamber.



Many years ago I stumbled across a site that opened my eyes to the shear ingenuity of man. It was called "TwinCharger" and had crude pictures of one of my favorite cars, the AE86 with a turbo and supercharger working together. This kit made well over 300 Horsepower, and to me was genius.



Apparently HKS designed a kit for the AW11 first generation MR2 to incorporate the stock supercharger to its very own turbo setup. Mr.TwinCharger himself designed his kit around iron steam pipe and made a bypass valve so that there would be no restriction when the turbo would outflow the supercharger!!!







This webpage meant a lot to me, it showed that with will any 1985 Corolla could go ridiculously fast. This car was so powerful that it broke many rear axles, and now it has a Celica Supra Rear end to place all that torque down. Sure it might be a Corolla, but who in this world claims to have a turbo supercharged car?
