After a very long and intense internal debate, I have decided to supercharge instead of turbocharge. supercharging is cheaper and for my driving habits, I don't need huge power, i just want something faster than 8.7sec 0-60 lol. bash if you must but i plan to have this car for a long long time. I will be making a build thread soon once the parts come in

 

i have lsj injectors, harness, belt and a 3.1 zzp 5 bolt pulley... for sale. your price pm me

 

turbo is just as reliable as a supercharger. you dont need to make big power by going turbo. you can keep the boost at 10psi or less and still make more power than the supercharger. i would re-think your decision.... your going to regret it........

 

nice choice, whine it up!

 

how so? for commuting purposes id rather have a blower because im either spinning or speeding to enjoy full boost in my car, and i didnt have to worry about that when i had a supercharger, and i do miss the sound so much

 

I do like the sound of a turbo blow off but the whine is much more appealing to me

 

in for the turbo's guys who are gonna chime in and cry/flame about this

 

Turbo puts less stress on your motor then a heaton!

 

there ya go. less stress more power for pound of boost. better exhaust note then supercharged. plus if your going to run a almost stock or bigger pulley on your s/c then you might aswell not be getting a s/c just for hearing the whine

 

Congrats! You'll have fun with it.

 

Turbo > S/C

 

my performance goals are just to have more than 200whp. and i do not want to build a kit since that takes a lot of time and frustration. since a supercharger kit is cheaper and can reach my goal, then i will go for that instead.

 

or ill just sell my car and buy an RX8

 

its your car do what ever makes you happy yea turbo is better for more power..but supercharger is better for daily driving instant tq no spool

 

Don't do that lol.

 

 

or sell my car and buy a sstc

 

supercharger you can just cruise with light throttle variations, turbo when you cruise you build turbo boost if you vary too much, spool, BOV action, compressor surge, slow down, restart. I like the s/c > t/c but it's just for my driving habits.

 

now youre on the right track

 

supercharger=boom
turbo=explosion

lol jk its all safe just gotta keep the boost levels low with turbo

 

hahahahaha. See I knew it. Called it early

ps tons of mis-information in this thread but not gonna point em out cause no one on this site admits when they are wrong... only flame

 

TURBO TURBO TURBO TURBO TURBO TURBO TURBO!!!!! I cant believe your not going turbo! hahaha JK but thats what your going to get from all the fanboy crybabys who are gunna get upset you didnt go turbo.

 

it is pretty easy to jump on the turbo bandwagon when you can do so much more with a turbo set up

 

I agree you can with a turbo but god forbid someone cant afford a turbo setup or wants a supercharger instead almost every turbo guy starts talking mad ****

 

At the parasitic loss of power through pulleys.
