so you all know Ruth she just joined as well as her 1.8 turbo was in last issue of Focusfanatics...or was it the one before..i forget but yeah anyways she has just isntalled a supercharger...to her her turbo focus :blink: I didn't even know it could be done but check it out , like she says supercharger on top and turbo on the botttom, she gained alot of power and now she does not suffer from any turbo lag which is good but they are still working on it neways..here it is

holy shiz, it's like double-charged, and has spray...that has got to have some serious power...you gotta do some work on the block so that thing doesnt explode...

NOICE!!!!!!

i've heard of it being done, but have never seen at all before.

:ph34r: :ph34r: Can someone say boom?! I know the Zetec is a pretty strong little SOB but will it handle the stresses of being turbo supercharged w/ NOS?!?!

There is some sort of diverter that allows S/C'ing to a certain RPM then the turbo takes over correct? Otherwise the S/C'er is a "limiter" wrt flow? Whatever the case it looks awesome, I'd love to pull up to some "Jiffy Lube" and have them pop the hood and see that! Probably have to scape the 'tech' off the floor.

Thats Purdy!

God that's amazing..... very nice, plus looks also, wow.....

Is it possible to get more info on that setup??

Is the owner of this car, a member here?

Nissan made a car called the March Super Turbo in the late 80s in Japan, I was reading about how it uses the supercharger for low RPMs and then switches over to turbo at higher RPMs.. It looked kind of cool, with a 930cc supercharged/turbocharged engine in a tiny little hatchback.

You'd have to have some pretty sophisticated ECU to make that work right I would think.
