BLAZZER Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 hey all im new to the forums but not new to civics/honda so im doing a k20a-r swap right and well i cant decide what to do a turbo a twin turbo or a supercharger so i was thinking what would happen if i had a super charger and a turbo (yes it is possible ive seen it done on a sunfire) how good it works im not sure thats why im asking here to see what you guys think of that casue obivsly with a turbo there is lag if i could some how iliminate that lag with the supercharger and use the turbo for the higher rpm's then im set but would something like that actully work? ( and dont consider moeny an issue when thinking about this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick B. Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 dude, if you dont like lag, then just have a supercharger. it would be a waste of time to try and twin anything on a 4 cylinder. I imagine it would cost a butt load of money to supercharge and turbocharge a k20. how about this, turbocharge your k20 with a nice t4 turbo. then to get rid of the lag, use a nitrous system for the lower rpms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This will work to a point, but you will make more power with just a turbo setup. Why?>>> The problem is going to be the effeciency of a JR supercharger. At some point the JR will reach max flow (far more quickly than a mid-sized turbo). So what happens is, if you want to build to 500whp (just a figure), and the SC is effecient to 350whp (again, just a figure), then when you up the boost on the turbo to get more hp past 350, the SC will begin to impede the flow. At that point it will make more power by tossing the S/C and upping the boost on the turbo for better flow throughout. Even if you only use it for 300whp, it's a bad idea since you can get there with the S/C alone on higher boost. That's my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 lets make it easy for him. its impossible dude. go with one or the other. guys are getting nice numbers out of JR or comptech , and theres little chance or hurting your engine. if you plan on putting cams in your swap , let me know , ill buy your DC5-R cams from you.

BLAZZER Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 cranny its not impossbile ive seen it done and the guy was running 9's on a quater mile it was ina sunfire i jstu ahve no idea how he did it i saw it with my own eyes im sjtu trying to figure out how to hook taht up on a k20 and if it would be worth it or not and about tha cams cranny ya ill sell em once i get my new one the entire k20 engein is being reuilt from scratch all upgrades so well in theroy would a supercharge turbo work hungsr? im not to familiar with supers so like if its running say 300 hp on the super how does that conflict with the turbo would a twin turbo prbly be better instead say a small turbo for low rpms and a huge turbo for higher rpm's? my freind laughed an said get 4 turbos one for each cylinder lol prbly woudnt work lol lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 We know it's technically possible. Point is it'll take a lot of research and time to make it work better than simply getting a nice turbo setup, and since you're asking questions about it on a forum that suggests that you won't be able to get satisfactory results without just paying mad cash to some good shop to make it all happen.

airjordan223 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 it is possible, just like swapping in two motors into a hyundai tiburan, theres just really no point. you will be must happier performance wise if you spend that money building a boosting the k20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 why the hell are you so stuck on twin turbocharging a 4 cylinder? ive seen 900hp civics with only 1 turbo. if youre so worried about lag then get a t3/4 turbo and you will hit boost a 3,500rpms which means pretty much by the time youre done smoking your tires off the line, you will hit boost and youre good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZZER Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 true true i jsut dont wanan get that huige amount of lag right im jsut looking for really good solutions to get rid of it a twin turbo was jsut an idea i had in mind and the super0turbo was anohter idea but ok lets say drop i.e 50 g in to the k20 maybe a lil less you think it could handle like 30 psi? from a huge mother turbo? if so would taht casue magga lag? so from your guy's opinion how would i create as much horse power as possible with having as minimal as lag as possible turbo? twin turbo? super turbo? lol if my spelling is horrible i do apoloagize as well ill try and fix it as much as posible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 um, ya know, you could just build a really nice high compression motor and turbocharge it. as long as you get the t3/4 turbo, your lag will be very minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick B. Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 do you mean low compression? no, i meant high compression. i know, the typical build is the low compression motor so you can raise the boost and force more air into the combustion chambers. but, if done right, a high compression turbo build will create some really nice numbers. I forgot which reg on here was talking about it, but he said some of the fastest cars have been high compression turbos. I think it was ssr that said that. and 50k, thats alot of spending money. why dont you buy a used nsx? then twin turbo that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 man with a K engine , and a good ball bearing , quality turbo , lag will not be an issue. lag comes from a turbo being too big for the application , although there will always be a little bit at the very bottom , its just the way it is. but you see honda dont have bottom anyways , lol , and when your going through the gears , your revs will not drop below 6000!! anyways , so what are you talking about lag? lol.

Kegger Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 This guy must be making jokes, cuz 3/4 of that list is total bullcrap. Or completely unnecessary for a 4 banger.

TS John Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 With 220,000 bucks and you wanna build your civic? Here's what you do: use 15k of that to have a shop do a nice K swap into your civic for your daily driver. Get a Porshe GT3 to take to the track.

BLAZZER Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 well see taht teh problem taht stuff does exist for a 4banger and as for a porsche i dont want an exotic type car i like my civic anohter reson i wanan build up a very nice civic is you never ever see anyone with a nice civic casue everyone hates them past a certain point of hp im not screwing you guys or messin with ur minds this stuff is real that i listed youve prbly never heard of it casue it not chep stuff to do rod balencing is very important and cranny in regards to this "man with a K engine , and a good ball bearing , quality turbo , lag will not be an issue. lag comes from a turbo being too big for the application , although there will always be a little bit at the very bottom , its just the way it is. but you see honda dont have bottom anyways , lol , and when your going through the gears , your revs will not drop below 6000!! anyways , so what are you talking about lag? lol. " with what your saying it does make perfect sense so with the k20a-r would a huge turbo be an issue say like i dunno top of my head 25-30 psi u think taht would be to much like i know taht is deffntly a lot but with taht kind o work done to an engine and taht kind of pressure being put out by one turbo?? (bassicly i an thankfull for all your guy's help i am bassicly jsut trying to learn as much as i can so i mean no disrespect when i say this but please dont mock me and what im doing to my civic and dont post negative things against me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
