Supercharger???

[Jmarks96]

Okay hear me out. I don't know if this has been asked before but is it possible to switch out the turbo in the ecoboost and put a supercharger or procharger?

Anythings possible with enough money.....

Because I like the supercharger whine lol

just add a fake supercharger whine. You already have the fake engine noises!lol

Sell your car, buy a v6 throw a prochrager on there.

I believe that what everyone is saying is : no, it is not a possibility.

I'm sure it's possible, but it might take some fabrication if nobody makes a kit. There is a lot of info out there on belt drive turbos that were intended to go on small displacement engines. Same technology was used in larger applications from Paxton, McCulloch, etc. in the 1950's. I used to be on a mailing list (snail mail) for a group of folks interested in modifying turbochargers to be belt driven, with almost entirely junkyard parts. Pretty cool stuff. So can it be done? Sure.

I got a hell of a deal on my 18 eco not planning on selling it. Just wondering if it was possible.

It is possible. But as the old saying go: "If you need to ask how to do it, then it's probably not for you as you will have to pay someone to do it"= big bucks!!

With that said here is a prototype twin charged(turbo & super charged) EBM:

Is it possible? Yes, without doubt or question.

Should you do it for "the noise"? No.

Like some of the others have said, it's going to take some time and fabrication skills to get the job done. And again, like they said, if you're asking the question on here then you probably don't have the said skills to do so, which means big $$$ to a shop.

In a cost-to-benefit world, this swap makes absolutely no sense. It would only be something to do if you had quite a bit of money to blow and wanted something that's more of a novelty.

I'm not trying to bust your balls but I see stuff like this posted a lot in different forums and groups. From supercharging to compound turbos and beyond, there's just no point in doing so given that the current setup is more than sufficient for 99% of people. Everyone wants to do something different but different =/= good.

Their idea was cool at Vortec, but as the video says first problem is running out of fuel. Just an aux fuel kit wouldn't cut it, you'll need a pump too. Once you get the fueling figured out, then you're gonna run into the same issue everyone else does over 400-425 wheel and thats a hole in the side of your block.

So basically you're gonna spend more money to get to the same power levels you can with just a bigger turbo, with just a c*nt hair less lag?

A client of our's Mustang Race Technologies (MRT) has actually built a pretty slick double-blown 2.3L Mustang with a Vortech V3 centrifugal supercharger. We were fortunate to be a part of this one off custom build and helped out with some extra fueling via our Firestorm high pressure fuel pump upgrade. Once the new pump was installed we also provided our custom dyno tuning services to take this build to a whole new level.

"The 2.3L EcoBoost has proven to be a robust little piece, but its factory fuel pump is a definite roadblock on the path to more power. Tasked with supplying direct-injection demands at somewhere around 3,000 psi, the OEM pump simply runs out of volume anywhere beyond factory boost levels. Luckily, Livernois Motorsports’ new “Firestorm” EcoBoost replacement pump is said to be capable of double the factory fuel volumes, and came along just in time to support the Sport Touring project’s compound boost.

Even so, given the touring – as opposed to racing – focus of the project, MRT’s plan called for keeping stock EcoBoost engine internals and fuel injectors. This meant keeping boost levels reasonable, and presented a delicate tuning task for Livernois’ Dan Millen, with the goal being great drivability and more area under the power curve, rather than gonzo peak power numbers."

This is sweet, but why not go with a 2.0 block if you're going to spend all the money to get you to the same place that a big turbo kit can? The limits of the block are still there twin charged or not.

That's wild. Adding a supercharger.

To be honest, if I was going to add all that weight, I would just trade it for a 5.0L weighing about the same. You'd be starting with the max power you're achieving with a 2.3L, and go from there.
