ITT: dumb ideas ICE powered supercharger. Basically, you strap

>>17610456
You can't supercharge a car with ice, dumb ass

Similar idea to cylinder deactivation. What if a car has two straight six engines right next to each other. You can choose to have one or both engines on.

Using more than one engine on the road is illegal (surprisingly they bothered to come up with that law) that's why bike derived V8s exist, they can share one crank.

>>17610456
Would be more of a waste than not. But that's one of the logics behind the hybrid car.

>>17610456
Roadkill already did it. Google "boost caboose"

>It could weight less than turbos

In what kind of alternate reality are you living where a second small engine pulling a supercharger weights less than a turbo?
A supercharger alone weighs more than most turbos.

>>17610456
just get a 48v battery and an electric turbo.

>>17610456
Transverse mounted straight 8

I really want to see a performance-oriented soft hybrid

>>17611605
Just attach a wheel directly to each end of the crankshaft and have the cylinders be like 80mm bore x 150mm stroke or something silly. It would have to use 8 separate carburetors, and the only way to start it would be push starting.

>No tranny
It's like you want to go slow

It's like you want to have no fun

>>17610456
Weigh less, how?

And dude; the supercharger on an engine like that will be drawing more power than what a 250cc engine could give

>>17610456
So you have one engine to compress a charge which then powers the other engine?

You might as well use a bigger primary engine. You're adding a whole load of complexity (crankshaft and cam drive, mainly) where you could just as easily just add another cilinder.

> It could weight less than turbos and make a shitload of power if tuned correctly.
No it couldn't. Try picking up a motorcycle engine, and tell me if it weighs less than a turbo.

>>17610476
It'd be even more interesting if that used differential steering, like a tank.

>>17610536
Citation fucking needed, what fucking shithole do you even live in? Hybrids would be illegal, as would dual-motor Teslas.

>dual engine hatchback
VW did that in the 80s for group B

>>17610536
tell that to the guy in my town who shoved a pontiac 4 banger and transverse gearbox in the back of an early ford taurus to make a car that's both FF and RR at the same time
