Twincharging

[Jack]

I know there is a re-work to forced induction coming at a later date, and maybe I suck at searching the forums, but I did not see anyone else asking about twincharging. I was just wondering if there is any possibility at all, even DLC, that there will ever be twincharging? AKA engines with forced induction from both turbochargers and superchargers at the same time.

Admittedly my knowledge is limited, but I can't see what the benefit of that would be? Why would you want to do it?

To extract the extra exhaust energy using a turbocharger, but have instant boost with a supercharger. I think.

Twincharging as well as compound turbocharging is done to widen the range of usable boost.

The unit closer to the engine provides boost at low RPMs, while the further(secondary) unit is designed for higher RPMs, when the smaller unit has 'runs out of air' the larger unit forces more through it.

Alot of modern vehicles are starting to use twincharging or compound turbocharging to reduce emissions by allowing a cleaner burning mixture at a high boost pressure, without having to deal with a laggy large turbo or restrictive smaller turbo/supercharger.

Thanks! Both of you.

The legendary Lancia Delta S4 is a famous example of a car that utilises twin charging.
