what do you guys think would be better and faster? turbo or supercharger? tell me what you guys think or what you guys with turbos and superchargers know

 

ok Im really sick of these questions....It all comes down to how much money you want to spend, and how you are going to use the power. Do you need down low power or up high? Turbos have to spool up and on a good set up you dont get max boost untill 2800-3000 rpm. on the other hand you get your max (normaly lower boost) alot quicker... 2000 rpm.. Superchargers pull from the crank to spin the turbin so you lost some hp and tq from that. Turbos use the exhuast to spin it so you dont have the lost of hp and tq. Turbo will have a higher heat build up under the hood and will need a intercooler of some type water to air or air to air. Turbos have boost higher then superchargers and you can control the amount of boost alot easier...I.E. boost controler. Now that bigging said im going with a JRSC for my wifes RSX type s because a. its going to be cheaper and b. i dont want to have to worrie about any problems. superchargers have alot less **** to brake and if you wish i can go into it. anymore questions search first please.

 

also I live in wisconsin and FMICs and snow dont go good together...

 

i prefer NA. but if i was to choose id supercharge and k pro.!

same

 

and bigger injectors... i got a JRSC on my 03 rsx-s and its awesome

 

i prefer NA too but id go turbo because they can keep boosting harder no matter what if tuned right ... with a supercharger there is a limit to its work ... once the motor spins faster then pulley the supercharger is only compressing air into the engine and not adding much power ... mean while a turbo may lag but in the long run it keeps spinning harder ...

anyway im prefer NA though ... so dont argue with my opinion cause i dont care much about force induction ...

 

buy a supercharger from me

 

turbo has more potential than a supercharger.

depends on whats enough power for you.

 

There are plenty of option for you; may it be supercharger or turbo. For turbo any setup can be beneficial you can go non-ball bearing or ball bearing turbo. For supercharger you also have a choices of different superchargers. You can go traditional and get a Jrsc or computech (used) or you can even get a Rotrex supercharger. The difference between the jrsc/comptech and rotrex is the design. The jrsc/comptech is the roots style which is a postive displacment supercharger. The rotrex is a centrifugal (belt driven turbo). It can also reach some pretty good numbers. Despite what most people say both supercharger and turbo have its limits. Although since turbo have a bigger fanbase there are alot of company that has various turbo that can be crank up to 1000hp while s/c ideally do not reach that high. The biggest rotrex s/c available for our car is the C38-81 which is capable of .53 kg/s (900CFM) which is good for 600hp. The only way you can get a kit is to either purchase from http://www.tts-performance.com like I did or purchase my used kit C30-94 (bolt on for ep3). There are also some twinscrew s/c coming out soon, but it looks like they are changing their design again so it wont be anytime soon. In any case there are plenty of fi you have. Now you got to decide how much power you want, what type of powerband you will like and where to buy it.

JFYI

on my k20a3 kit produce 270whp 200tq at 14psi 1psi-14psi depending on rpm, but you start to feel it at low 3k rpm.
