no i understand what you ment in regards to using the supercharger instead of the smaller turbo, but the complexity is still there in regards to having to do the intake piping with check valve.
The check valve would actually be pretty easy since it could be sourced from Home Depot or Lowes.
wouldnt it be easier to setup a 75 direct port nitrous shot, dont know if N2O is street legal in Kansas, i know it is in Texas
I've never really liked nitrous. The concept here is to have good low end torque and top end power on demand.
but going alone those lines as you drawn out, i would think it would be easier to not have both intakes of the SC and turbo connected, but have the SC air intake seperate since you cant just by-pass the SC like in the sequential turbo design with the exhaust gas flange
The problem with that would be that I would run into a situation where it would require another check valve or a secondary throttle body on the manifold. Otherwise I'll run into a funky issue with vacuum or a situation where one blower is making boost in a pipe where compressed air can escape.
Another alternative is to get rid of the check valve entirely and just have the turbo blowing air strictly through the supercharger. This is how the old HKS twincharger kit for the MR2 and the Meguires Integra worked. The draw back of this is that I would be dealing with higher (compounded) boost pressures and wouldn't be able to run as much turbo boost.
With the earlier idea I could simply disengage the SC's electromagnetic clutch with a pressure switch and run plain turbo boost.

I wish.
Just thinking out of the box a little bit. Might be a fun project to mess around with. :mrgreen:
The basic concept seems like it would be valid.
I think so too. Again the toughest part will be figuring out the pulley ratio, fabricating bracketry, and getting a pulley(ies) machined. Over all I think it would be pretty cool.
