I would avoid feeding the supercharger if you can, Eatons will bend the rotors at anything over 15psi inlet pressure into them (give or take) and anything over about 20psi total they take a lot of power to drive. There was a dude a while back that fed a GT4202 on a duramax with twin F2 Prochargers...and made 550-ish hp. He took one of the F2's off, and it made 788. The second blower was taking THAT much power to drive. The only way I see to do this setup is to have the blower for the low end, and turbo for the high end with a blower bypass.
I could see running a centrifugal as an atmosphere at like 15-20psi, but that would be it, the turbo would have to do the rest of the compounding.
Thank you for the response
First I was thinking: a SC is just a pump that moves air and it doesn't know what atmospheric pressure is so it doesn't matter for it if it gets 14,7 psi(no boost) or twice as much inlet pressure(1 kg boost) So feeding the SC with 1kg boost from a turbo should work fine.
But now I remembered :doh: that air has mass(ca 1,2kg/m3 and the SC is not designed for handling twice as much mass. Imagine if you tried to use it as a diesel pump, it would need a huge engine to run it and it would break for sure.
So that leaves me with 2 solutions: let if feed the turbo and bypass it when the turbo needs more air than it can give, or put it between the turbo and engine and bypass it when the turbo start making boost. any suggestions?
I saw an Eaton M62 with electric clutch. can you get one for the M90? or is there anyone who has made one?
