What is better for my Max? Turbo OR S/C?! There's probably lots of pros and cons for both, which is why I'm turning to fellow Max owners, all comments and opinions welcome.

In my oppinion I'm all for SC's. I hate turbo lag and with a SC the power is always low. If You have an auto like me your gonna need that low end acceleration that a TC cant provide.

well think about it BOTH and don't forget to throw in soem NOS(say 150 shot)

its all up to what you perfer, no one has a SC on ther 3gn that i know of

chris92gxe

NOS is the way I go too. I'll have like a 150shot soon. But I'll let you know that this is gonna take a lotta engine and tranny work.

S/Cer boost is progressive also(IE builds upon RPM). A properly matched turbo and engine should also have little lag..

chris92gxe

There still is lag no matter what though. I just dont want that. Its annoying if you drive any TCed car.

if you get a good turbine and set it up right you won't have lag. Fasttrax has a turbo that they ran on a z31 with 26psi and had virtually no lag at all.

Maximamike

Yeah, turboes rock! 20 psi here I come!

chris92gxe

Good luck with your turbo's. I'm going SC and NOS and I bet that will woop any turbo you can come up with. We'll just have to see.

Maximamike

Getting defensive, eh? I'll just keep raising the boost in my cabin as we go

chris92gxe

No defense taken here. Good luck with your project. We both got a lot of plans. It will be interesting to see the outcome right bro.

S/C for off the line, TC for that 200mph mark.

SeR

I heard super chargers get loud...even when u don't want them to be. I also heard they create too much wheel spin (and thus, no acceleration) when u stomp the gas.

Ya wheel spin bugs me, can't really kick some *** when you spin your rubber off

chris92gxe

Thats what slicks are for. All need to do is learn how to use that power.

You don't drive with slicks going to the mall though

SeR

couldn't u start off the line in 2nd gear with a sc? (foot to the floor)

Sith

iTrader: (1)

not with an auto

SeR

would it work with a stick?

Sith

iTrader: (1)

I don't know with that much torque
you'd probably snap something

chris92gxe

Just dont slam it on the takeoff and you'll be fine. Its not like you always have to floor it when you start off. Common sense guys. Get to know your accelerator and you'll be a better driver, and faster.

i assume he's talking about racing, which i dont' really wanna take off the line like a grandma was driving my max

chris92gxe

You give the car as much gas as the wheels can grip. Why floor it if your gonna sit and spin. If you dont give it as much gas you will have better take offs. More traction the better. You dont have to drive like a grandma.
