I have a b20b with gsr head in my ek. Titanium valves, springs, and retainers and stock other than that. Its my dd but im wantin to go f/I and im having trouble deciding between setting up for a turbo or a supercharger. Any opinions would be appreciated

 

What is your goal in horsepower / tq gains? Personally I'd go turbo if I had to choose one cuz the b20 has enough low end power already.

 

Well I don't have any specific goals really just basically want a fast dd.

 

Have you looked in the Forced Induction forum?

Most of us go Turbo.

Many more options that way.

Find a tuner in your area from the sticky in that forum. Talk with him and figure out what your next step is.

 

no i didn't even think of that


thanks for the advice and info tho!

 

a supercharger is power in lower rpms
turbo is power 4000 to redline, at least mine is cant really speak for any one else, but i say go turbo ull love it

 

ive gone the supercharger route and trust me when i say that you will be SO much happier with a turbo set up.

 

If you don't really know why you would want a SC, then a turbo is probably a better option for you.

 

If you build it right, with the right parts, bore, etc, you can virtually eliminate turbo lag even with a turbo as big as a GT35r.

I made 550 whp/ 380 ft lbs on my first turbo build a month ago on 93 octane running the Fullrace AC GT stage 3 kit with the 35R, .82 and my power curve looks just like a all motor car.

I went with a 84x89 build and have instant power off the line. The power curve from 1000rpms on, is ABOVE my Jenvey ITB setup that made 220 whp. So I am just saying, if you do it right, turbo can be as good off the line and better on top end.

For instance I have a buddy with a 450/500 2003 Cobra Mustang, we did a pull (safely fellas, no one was around) on the beltway. Him in 2nd gear IN HIS POWER BAND, and me in 3rd around 3,000 rpms...when we hit it, he pulled maybe 4 feet ahead (ie my drivers door at his back seat) and then I pulled right up next to him and passed him with ease by the end of 3rd.

It kind of depends on how much money you have to spend, if you want to keep AC and PS, etc. Seeing as how its your DD though, I assume you want to keep AC and PS, and it can get VERY expensive doing that with a turbo like I just did. Looking back I should have just gotten a Corvette and thrown a head/cam/spray on it and saved myself some money haha

 

Thanks for all the advice and info guys

+1. Was this thread really necessary? I mean, aren't there already a dozen of these listed in the

<U>*F*A*Q*</U> section?

 

If you think it's un-neccesary why would you open it and/or post in it. This post started in a model specific forum anyways. If you don't have anything positive or helpful to say gtfo and go bother somebody else
