i want some pros and cons about both.....thanks or

Turbocharge that Shiet!


Turbo Pros:
Can easily adjust boost (boost controller)
wider range of Boost (0 - 30psi??) depends on indiv. turbo
Less frictional losses (no belts, only shaft losses)
Runs of energy that gets wasted anyways
You get the extra coolness factor (psssshhh)
The kit can be more economicall if you shop around (a supercharge kit runs about 2500 to 3200?) but some people turbocharge their cars for 2K.

Cons:
If not sized properly, boost lag is not your friend (but sometimes you want a lil lag for high hp = traction)
With superchargers you might not get boost spikes? im not totally sure on that one but i know that with turbo you might get some fluctuations from time to time.
A turbo kit has more components than a supercharger kit.

There are plenty of graphs out there that compare the two. From what i've seen and heard from first hand accounts, turbo is the way to go.


PS. in my sig i have a before and after dyno of my car at only 6 psi. That will give you an idea of what turbo can do for you.

yeah calGSR said it pretty well

but to add to that,
turbo's have loss as well, it's not all wasted energy,
the engine still has to work to push exhaust through, and turn the turbine..
though I have a feeling it's still more efficient than a supercharger..

Superchargers have a perfect powerband,
it's similar to the stock band, but it is perfectly smooth, it'll fill in any dips
and iron out any peaks.. for a nice smooth powerband.
(people who think superchargers are "low end beasts" don't know what they're talking about)

Another huge pro for superchargers, is that there are NO boost spikes,
with a turbo, something could break/go wrong, and you could overboost to **** and blow your motor. That can't ever happen on a supercharger, your belt could break.. but that'd just make you go back to N/A until you fix it..

Turbo's make more power easier though.. can't argue that,
but superchargers still make great power.

Oh and JRSC kits are 2000 brand new, not that expensive anymore..
course you can build a homemade junkyard turbokit for like 400bux, so thats hard 2 beat, haha.

 

Like it was said on a turbo you can vary the boost via switch ect, on a supercharger you have to change pulleys which can be a disatvantage. Also superchargers are noisy if not installed right, for example the eaton or lysholm if not installed properly will sound like a fire truck

 

appreciate all insights ...... hard to choose but thanks for the info everyone ......very useful

 

turbo all the way...
