Just thought I'd throw out an idea.

How about a remote supercharger powered by its own engine. Roots, screw, centrifugal, whatever. Wastegate actuator controls the throttle to maintain constant boost pressure as airflow consumption increases with engine RPM and turbo boost.

Anybody ever seen such a thing in use? I know in LeMons and F1 a few have tried something similar with a blower sucking air out from under the car for "perpetual downforce".

ive been thinking of a 2ed engine in the trunk fora long time

a rotary engine hooked up to a blower, rev like mad

or a small 10hp deal running a small SC and run it up into the intake egr port?

Why not skip ahead to two 617's?

MTM had a really cool Audi TT set up with two souped up 2.0T engines
it was called the bimoto. The thing was nuts.

Ferrari tested a jet powered turbo awhile back for use with a gas engine it was there idea for a hybrid! lol

Waiting for the right 4x4 small pickup and a place to do it, and money.

There was a drag car in the 60's (I think) that I saw in an old mag, had a small engine in the trunk running a big roots-type blower with piping up to the engine. Great concept, but I don't remember how well it did. I remember thinking that was the coolest thing I had seen in a long time though.

I thought about this too. My idea was to get a ~10hp Hatz diesel and two roots superchargers all geared way up with a serpentine belt system.

That way the blower engine is fueled from the fuel tank, the intake/exhaust for the hatz could be shared with the cars, the Hatz could run low RPMs with enough torque to be geared up and remain quiet, and TWO superchargers! (because one supercharger just can't make enough boost )
