what would give more HP :

TurboChargers

SuperChargers

and how much is the difference??

please vote than reply...

 

SCer more HP a bit less torque


TCer will give you Torque and HP gains

 

Turbo, a lot less hassle too.

 

You should do some research. It not always more power, it is more usable power. Also the more power you have, the more hassale you are going to have to deal with.

 

From what i know SC and TC decrease your engines life-time or gradually decreases it's HP ..??

 

there is no direct equation that it will reduce your engine life.

but obviously modding the car at all will put more wear on the engine over time. something that you should expect, not question.

 

I think if you take care of your car it should last just as long as a non-modded car. You can't push ***** to the walls 24/7.

 

HA - HAHA!!!!!


I like you, but you're, you're crazy.....you're crazy man.

 

Your learning young Jedi. They just dont know you know the deal. Leave at that.

 

I would think the supercharger is less hassel than a turbo.

 

I think both are a hassle...buy a Geo!

 

... ??? Geo what the .

 

one of them is no hassle trust me I know.

 

There is a turbocharged geo metro in houston, I think it runs low 11's.

 

Errrrr.....turbo geo =

 

Make it a Geo Storm - Those are MAD FAST!!!

 

That geo is faster than 99.9% of people on this board. Its all go and no show.

 

But there is steal 00.9% of us max peps that will tear it a new one.(JOKE)

 

Still man, Still!!!!!!!

 

Sorry, not looking what I do.( not very good at typing)

 

no doubt, there are some Geo Storm guys out here with turbo Impulse motor swaps that would run down even some of the boosted Maximas on here...you'd be surprised

 

a boosted motor on a couple of small wheels and no weight =faster then most maximas.

 

SSR -

 

Yes,I do suck at the internet

 

Well I should have rephrased that, but for one taking power to make power isn't ideal. Especially on engine life, more rotating mass = less engine life. Changing pulleys in order to increase boost, what a drag. Superchargers are definitely a nice sporty upgrade, but if you want alot of power, turning a **** is a lot better then changing a pulley.

 

hmmmm....a turbo donkey cart would own!!!

 

I didn't mean it in such a SERIOUS way - but all the crap that bags, jay25, and ramius have gone thru since they got their turbo.........your 1st post doesnt relate to them at all.


From what I remember, when Jay25 was supercharged......he never had as many problems as he does now w/ the turbo. Maybe same thing for Dixit.

 

How bout a boosted go cart! Some of those things are crazy without it!

bah..better yet...don't know if its fake or not or the output, but there are "S/C" RC cars on the market

OMG!

Addae....do thos actually USE the FI system? It looks like they do.....however - it aslo looks to good to be true

 

I think the Skyline is a mock setup, but yeah basically if you look at the pics in the article of the acuta; setup its a basic belt driven SC setup--->

(BTW the big purple thing is the gas motor, kinda puts things into scale model perspecive for you in relation to a real SC)

 

Speaking of Geo's the Geo Storm Gsi and Geo Prizm Gsi came with a Toyota 4AGE which is a very strong engine. I believe they either use those or the 4AGZE (which i think is a 20 valve I4) in some Supra's that are pushing 50 psi of boost.

edit: actually i was wrong on the engine code. the 5 valve is just a 4AGE with a VVL head. i believe those are the ones that have 50 psi fi systems on there.

 

hate to break this to you bro, but this is the unending debate... not on here...BUT IN LIFE amongsit all car guys.

In the end it with technology today, it's half dozen of one and six of the other.

Personal choice.

 

There is one thing that is undeabteable though...More displacment, gives me more. Bigger is better. Go by the s62 and be done.

 

actually, you can see better power gains with forced induction than you could with larger displacement. when you mix the two you get some insane power. that's why all of the fastest drag cars run large displacement engines with forced induction. large displacement alone just can't do it.

 

Exactly because no matter how you look at it, you're limited to atmosphetic pressure. Unless your engine is like 8 liters, at which point it doesn't matter
