V6 Idea

[Whore of Babylon]

How about this,

3VZFE and two, yess TWO S/C's off the 4AGZE

Is it possible? and would it be super hard

[Paff]

That is actuallly something I've thought about, altho couldn't tell you how easy/possible it could be as it was only a 3 second think but would be interesting to find out

[biteme]

Run one off each bank?

Certainly do-able. Piping would be fun as would lining the belts up!

[OlberJ]

Run 1 belt round them all (and alternator) and keep them in time.

Same boost, same engine speed.

Where would you mount them, both ontop of the engine?

[superchargedsam]

better off with a pair of SC14s as sure the engine could handle the extra boost ok and not much bigger physically than SC12s!

Wouldn't one big SC be better than 2 smaller ones? I'd guess that the energy loss from 2 small ones would be more than one bigun. :hmm:

[superchargedsam]

good point limey but its the fitting of one big mofo that could be the issue! Did you see the supercharger on that V8 drag car, about the same size as a 4AGE I rekon or thereabouts lol

[Limeymk1]

The blue Rex or the red Nissan? Both were pretty immense.:mrgreen:

Sit it in the same place, oodles of space above the engine! It's not like you're going to be worrying about what's behind you. :rozzer:

[superchargedsam]

lmfao yeah true enough fella!

[OlberJ]

That is a good point. Could raise the engine lid or have a big ol hole in it and a whopping S/C sticking out the top.

Would look even better done inline.

An then you got plenty room for the Twin Turbos too. :thumbsup:

now Im not gonna tell you what I have been thinking about for the last few months then:P

N/S oldschool charger and highrise manifold and bug catcher.....:woc:

do the math....:hidesbehi

What about different sized pulleys so you get sequential pulleys too? Can't you switch them on and off too?

[Jaemus]

i had this idea myself a while back. mostly cos you can get the SC14's for like a couple hundred bucks each, and theres lots of room on either side of the block with no A/C or P/S pump present... piping would be the biggest headache, i doubt lining up the pulleys would present much trouble as youll need to make custom brackets to mount the S/Cs anyway... but limey is probly right about the efficiency problem, and that irritates me enough to have scrapped the idea, personally.

Just read your other post on your swap, im having head gasket issues too... in my Gen3 3SGTE i hate taking my engine apart its so hard :P its my first time and the turbo brackets are being difficult.
