I am currently researching twin charging, a lot of information on this subject matter appears to stem from this forum discussions and available through google.

My application is the possibility of installing a twin charge system on a mitsubishi fto 2litre gpx. I installed a custom supercharger system last year with reasonably succcessful results, 50 horse improvement with 65 ftlbs of torque over standard. The blower I am using is an Ogura TX12 from a corrolla compressor, the system is a mimic of the mini cooper, draw through with vacuum bypass, the sc clutch has been removed and is fixed drive, 127mm crank to 85mm sc pulley.

It is a low boost application (8psi)on stock internals, as with all roots type blowers the boost tails off the higher up the revs she goes, just as an engineering exercise what I want to do is maintain boost throughout to the 8.2krpm red line, will twin charging do this for me.

I am planning to lower the compression ratio as part of the project if twin charging is the way to go, but do not plan to change to forged internals.

As far as I know no fto has ever had this concept, there are planty of twin turbo, single turbo, eaton charged, VR4 engine transplants as well as evo lumps, but no twin charged fto exists.

Any advise would be welcome.

Regards

Steve

ok gents, to summarise.

Derestrict sc nlet - possible tb size increase
Upsize exhaust
Possible aid sc with mist cooling / lube system

Dont touch twin charging unless forged internals and decompressed

Time to rethink where I am going with this..
