Ok so im just about to start ordering my parts for a build im gonna be doing come spring, i live in Alberta and no garage :P. Anyway I just wanted an opinion on which to do/which is easier to install in your driveway ?

 

you're gonna do it with winter coming up? o_o good luck lol

 

no no lol, gonna buy parts during winter. wanted to know which of the two is easier to install in your driveway.

 

I would say a SC. Turbo your gonna need to spend more time under the car, I would think.

 

S/C is easy to do in the drive way. I did mine in my drive way.

 

Do you have supporting mods for S/C (like header, downpipe, exhaust)?

Both can be installed in a garage/driveway

 

If u havent started buying parts for your build here's a guy selling his S/C kit

EDIT: Not to sure if he'll ship to canada, need to ask him

 

part of my parts list will be getting the header, downpipe and exhaust and all the other stuff

 

since you have to still get those then they are about even on doing install

you could do sleeper style and keep stock exhaust and run a cut out

 

where in Alberta are you?

a local just got his wrecked SS/SC back - and if he buys another SS/SC with a blown motor ect, he would then have all the parts for you to convert to supercharged;
I don't know exactly what you would do though for ECM;
I have previously understood that the L61 cars use the same ECM as the LSJ ~ which makes this swap so easy...

but I've been wrong before

 

you just tune for the S/C...no ECM swapping

 

that's exactly what I meant;
I understood that they use the same ECM - which makes tuning that much easier.

 

Im NE of Edmonton by about 2.5 hours and was actually gonna look after xmas for wrecked SC's, and how do you mean run a cut-out? Havn't seen/nor heard of it before.

 

A cut out is basically a Y pipe right after you downpipe. 1 end goes to your cat back and 1 end is open for free flowing. Cruising = cut out closed and routed through the cat back. Racing = cut out open and routed to the open end.

 

ya i googled it since im up late also found this surfing as well, maybe you guys can tell me if its missing anything

Blower install took me about 8 hours in the driveway the first time I did it. Besides having to go out once for some random zip ties and hose clamps. I bet I could blow it out faster now that I've done it once.

 

Helps to have spare car and a friend just in case.

 

ya lol it will diff be on a weekend, may even book an extra day off, and all the stores id need to get parts from are within 15min walk so

 

I'd pack a tarp and some 2x4's lol just to be safe in case of rain :P

 

lol ya

 

save that money and put a down payment on an ss

 

Car isnt worth **** anymore.

 

maybe if they still made them new but they dont so negative on that, im just gonna make my car so im happy with it.
