I just read in Car and Driver that Volkswagen is producing a 4 cyl engine
that will be turbo and supercharged for the beetle.

This would create a nice combo of SC picking of the line on low revs while
the turbo picks up the slack at high revs.

The obvious questions are. Can it be done on a rotary? Has anyone
on the forum heard of one being made? And, would it be practical?

 

Hmmm I've seen a 2nd gen MR2 w/ that setup.........
Hard to get it tuned! It's not worth the hassle........
Twin turbo or twin scroll its the way to go if you want low end

 

Good point TurboSE. It'd be a bitch to tune.

 

yeah it is a bitch to tune!!! the first dyno result was like 220 or so
and BTW its a v6 ...........Or just go 3 rotors
I think i still have the magazine...Tirbo magazine i'll try to find the link

 

Sounds good TurboSE. I was just replying at Rotary20B's thread in
which he's showing his 20B mod. That's the way to go, just need
the money...

 

eh stick with one or the other
