Re: Low End HP? (TrunkRattlin)
turbo makes high end power, supercharger will make less total power, but it'll come in earlier. don't expect too much more out of a y8 though.

Re: Low End HP? (TrunkRattlin)
A supercharger runs off a crank pulley, so even if its' making less than a turbo, it's always making power, while a turbo needs to spool up (2500-3500 rpms usually) to be able to make the power. Under that it's like driving a stock car.
Do they even MAKE d series superchargers?

Re: Low End HP? (accordselux)
I do believe I have seen one D supercharger but I am not sure. Jackson Racing maybe?... i dont remember.
Doesnt turbo spool and turbo power delivery depend on several things like the size of the turbo and the a/r? A smaller turbo could deliver some lower end power, now not exactly like a superchager but doesnt the SRT-4 with its tiny turbo make like 250ft/lbs @ like 2,400RPM? Not a completly even comparison (2.4 vs 1.6) but you get my drift.

Re: Low End HP? (Slow EJ8)
Yes it depends on turbo size for spool up, but a turbo thats worth anything will take a while to hit full boost....stock VW turbos have no lag but wheeze up top, they're much too small. A well balanced turbo size would take until 2500-3000 to make full power and be able to keep doing it to redline.

Don't forget about the tubo manifold and exhaust. A ram horn and a log mani will spool way different and the size of the dp will also vary the performance of the turbo.
With a well desighned mani you can run a slightly larger turbo without sacrificing much if any spool time or make that little turbo spool so fast you'll need slicks to get any traction off the line.

I think i've seen this done once on the Mini Cooper S, a turbo kit for the supercharged factory engine. Otherwise it's a very bad idea.

i have a d16y7 with a straight t3, low end power is great. 1st gear spins and is pretty much usless, so you can still turbo and have low end power, just dont you a gt42r on a stock engine
