Turbo + Supercharger?

TylerG 360 · 07-10-2009

thinking about adding a paxton supercharger on to my 2.3l turbo.. has anyone done this... im not worried about the mounting and pluming, im wondering if the mass air sensor will still work correctly..

basically what i want to do is feed the turbo with a supercharger..looking to loose that turbo lag. has anybody done this? are there any alternatives

(nitrous, and water injection arnt an option... looking for something that im not going to need to fill up over and over)..

please reply with other alternatives to remove turbo lag... thanks

If you've got lag, you've got something wrong or the wrong turbo. Spend the money there instead.

shouldnt the turbo feed the supercharger? wouldnt that be easier. let the turbo spool all the way up faster? im pretty sure thats how everyone else does it.

hmm.. i heard the opposite.lol..... i was actually thinking about getting the force flow and trying it out..(electric super charger).. im not talking about the knock off from ebay.lol,, anyone tried that? maybe water injection?

I have 5 2.3 turbo cars and dont have any turbo lag to speak of. My 88 is really modded and pushing tuns of HP. What you are trying to do is totally not necessary. I never saw a setup like that. If you have turbo lag something is wong. I run 26 lbs and i have no lag to speak of

Yup, what Tom said.

The most lag I ever saw from a 2.3 was with a t3/4 hybrid turbo and that was only till 2000rpms

then the on ly lag was tire spin

Totally correct on that T3 T4 hybrid. They do make a tun of boost and smoke those sneakers. Nice coupe mine is black also. Very nice ride

tom, what are some ways to gain some noticable hp. my engines stock except for a front mount intercooler, and a 2.5 inch exhaust. as for boost, i get around 17

let me know what some good mods are. thanks

Here is suprercharger only.
Ranger Supercharger Project
Way to get rid of lag. 2 turbo's 30psi at 2500rpm. Be warned there was carnage.
