wallace9 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I was in machinemart the other night and the guy guy behind the counter was asking about my car. He said he was a member of the MR2 owners club and that his car (recently sold) was turbocharged and supercharged. I though he was talking shite cause I didn't think you could do that but if anyone knows differently can they enlighten me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Twin charging has been done before on a few cars. Whether or not this guy was bullshitting about his MR2 I've no idea, but it's certainly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 HKS sold a kit to twincharge the MK1 MR2 Supercharger (4AGZE) and a few of them exist, I don't know of any finished examples in the UK but I know of one in progress with extra bells and whistles. So it's possible he's telling the truth, I haven't seen any come up for sale but I haven't been on the forums all that much looking for cars for sale. Rapid little monsters though.

JohnA Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Can't see the Utube vids from here, but I've got several pages on a supercharged/turbocharged MR2 on a book lying around. Pretty interesting project it was. I think heatsoak killed it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Jagman also had a go at it but I believe lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 There are quite a few twin charged MK1 MR2's around in the UK, and loads in Japan. Lancia, Nissan and others have produced engines like this, some in production cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The new Golf GT is super + turbo charged..... and according to Clarkson, one of the worst 5 cars he's ever driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
