I was just wondering if anyone has tried (Or even thought of) twin-charging their celica? Its probably not feesable and Im not thinking about doing it myself.....just wondering if it can be done to our cars.

Any thoughts??

Anything can be done, but you must ask yourself WHY?

there was a twin charge set up for the 4agze if im not mistaken, i cant remember how made it, but i dont think its still available for retail...

.....apart from the fact that you could tell all your mates that you have a supercharger and turbocharger on one engine? lol , seriously though their must be performance advantages such as no lag whatsoever. The old Lancia delta groub B rally cars had them, and the reason I asked was because I read an article on a new VW (Golf or polo I think) with a twincharged engine.

So sorry, I thought you meant twin turbo. Yeah a SC and a turbo has tons of benifits. I remember the v6 mr2 that was twin charged and it was sweet!

there was also a v8 powered twin-turbo st185 i've seen on another forum.. that was pretty cool.

Bloody hell! - anyone tried anything that radical in the 6th gen celica?

i toyed with the idea for a while....but i was going to do a very "ethnic" setup.

twin charging (btw, i had no idea there was a name for it, i was going to call it dual-stage forced induction) would have a few benefits, including more degrees of tuneability, pro/con offsets (turbo lag offset by consistent boost from sc, power-leech from sc offset by turbo, etc)....

but it would be six hells of expensive and a logistical nightmare. piping, intercooling, charger locations, multiple redundant gauges....yadda yadda.

it would be cool in a maybach kind of way, i.e. only because at the end of the day, it's completely ludicrous.

It has been done. :-)

There is a Twin charged MR2 kit, old now...

There was (is?) an MR2 with a V6 & trd sc + a turbo. MR6
It was written up in Turbo magazine.

Twin charged Mini kits are out.

If you have $$$ anything is possible.
I don't know how reliable it would be, really complicated to diagnose an air leak ?

This sounds interesting.... probably will do it in the future.

There's also this twin-charged 4A-GZE:

well lets see. i have a 4agze aw11 type motor that will be sitting and be rebuilt in the future. I am getting hold of 4age 20v in a month. and lots of curiousity. So maybe one day i'll be running it. But for now its all an ehh.

4age 20v head
sc12 toyota supercharger
and a whole lot of fun!



aww... coomer beat me to the post.

omfg. the wrx kit is 10k. 10k, people. i am in shock. if you have anywhere near that amount of money, you should be driving a 1000hp supra, not a celica.

note that the majority of the cars above were show cars, not cars that get driven much.

edit: H8DC3lica94, i gather that you have more money and technical knowledge than anyone on this forum. i salute your efforts in making even a 3sgte swap look like childs play.

I apologize if people mistake this pic to be my motor. THIS IS NOT MY MOTOR. well not yet anyways. i wish. But coomer placed the link to find the site where this was taken. But due to the crappyness of geocities hosting, people are unable to get into the site. So i just provided a pic of how a twincharge system can be done on the 4age that isnt too costly.

A decient 1000 rwhp Supra will cost you more than 10K to build. Way more.
