Twincharged 4a-gze

[thedozzman]

I'm looking for any information about the old HKS Twincharger kit for the 4A-GZE, seen pictures, seen many 300+hp cars with the kit, but there is little information on where to find one of these kits, or how to fit it. Can anyone help???

I have links with pics that feature butterfly valves but i have to go through the rest of my favourites to find them, Will post up when i do.

I havent got any information but i'm just curious to find how well the kit works as it sounds like a great alternative to the usual single turbo or supercharging and would be a great way to stand out of the crowd. (a hard thing to do these days.)

The twincharge kit was just a turbo add-on for the GZE so all you have to do is buy the turbo and do the plumbing, I still have not found the site i have as yet.

What you do is set it up so when the motor reaches a certain RPM, it triggers the clutch to switch off on the supercharger and a butterfly to redirect the inlet charge away from the supercharger and into a turbo only circuit.

 

Something to that effect anyway.

In the latest REDLINE mag (pommy version of HPI) there is an s15 with a twincharge setup but the supercharger runs all the time with the turbo just boosting into it. Seems to work alright. Maybe an option to consider.

I heard somewhere that the sc12 and sc14's don't like being boosted but i could be wrong.

HKS no longer produce or plan to reproduce the 4agze twincharger kit. your best chance is to find a second hand system or build your own.

i've been doing a bit of research into twincharging. seriously keen to build a 20v twincharger myself.

wrote a big long reply but was a bit off topic so started a new thread.

 

Fensport have bought an hks twincharged front cut and installed it in their project ae92 and are now modifying it

they have a diagram of it too (below) some use information in their writeup.
