What. The. Hell.

I mean, way to be unique I suppose, but that's such a waste of money.

Wow.

The hell?

How does that even work? My common sense says this is not the right way to get more boost.

twin superchargers and nitrous..
i wonder if he's running 4 cyls per supercharger or if he's running them in series..
i would think that running them in series would be hell on the receiving supercharger.

Thats just stupid... +1 for originallity, but Id laugh in that guys face if I ever saw him in person. He cant even pass tech at a drag stip with that, it obviously doesnt handle worth a damn... so what is it good for? Nothing but a waste of money for an eye-sore.

That motor looks like a Jenga building.

I wonder how long before the torque rips the top part of the motor off and puts it through the window.

It looks to me like he's running them in series...crazy stuff. I guess some people just like to be different.

stupidest statement Ive heard today.. Whats it good for? Well obviously going down a straight line.. Granted we are in the Rotary world, & supposedly a drag strip doesnt exsist any more, but some people still dig going straight, fast & thats it..

If you are talking about the 2nd pic I attached you are correct. SC off the line, turbo's kick in around 3K rpm's

Both of those setups are retarded in my book. You can get more power for less money with other setups on the same engine.

The twin GTO has 1,900 hp. He has not ran the car as of yet per that video. That was I think back in 2006, so he must have ran the car by now. I'll email him.

The second car was at SEMA back in 2005. I have tons of pic's of that car and yes it works. They are just being different. These guys build these cars for a reason. Some thimes its not just to go fast. Some times its show and go. Might not be the best bang for you'r buck but its what opens up new doors and lets the mind work more. After all I bet the guy that put the turbo on a JU-87 Suka got laughed at.

In the YouTube video they talk about an intercooler. With those type of superchargers, you can't use a intercooler. Anyone know what they are talking about?

People do things because they can, not because it makes sense. They are trying to be different. Most people probally couldn't comprehend how to set up things like the above pictures. So they buy a turbo or SC kit that doesnt need to be custom fab'd up.
