Wanted to get ur guys input on this... Supercharger or turbo?? And why???

 

How is this tech related????? Oh and HOW many threads have been on here about this???? Ill answer that alot...

 

I didnt see any threads on here about this??? I wanna know what would be the better of the 2 ??

 

Hey coca...
You will get a different answer from everyone really... Research is everywhere on this topic.
I personally prefer turbo's due to the access to parts around me and experience I have with them. I have never even driven a super charged car :S lol...

People say Turbo lacks due to its time to spoll and actually charge the system and make forced induction.. But even now they have synchronic blow off valves that improve turbo response times.

Then again a supercharger is almost instantaneous as it runs right off the engines power rather then using the exhaust to spoll.

Can I tell you witch is better?

Nope.

But I turbo. And I love it.

.thanx for ur opinion man appreciate it....

 

TURBO! I'm out!

 

All the threads you've created in the past day have all been discussed at length and in detail. Just because you don't see these threads on the first page doesn't mean they don't exist.

this is thread #101 regarding this subject.

turbo for possibly more power gains

SC for ease of install and instant HP.

 

Turbo, and call it a day.

 

this is an age old debate...and, everyone has their own opinions as to which one is better....
but, price wise there's typically only a few hundred dollars difference between the two
but, installation wise the turbo has much more to install due to the fact that you need an intercooler to cool down the air/exhaust that it forces back into the engine..so, a turbo setup might cost much more than a supercharger after everything's all said and done
performance wise, in a nutshell, a turbo system kicks in at the high rpm range....whereas a supercharger works throughout the entire rpm range....

if it was my SI, i would throw a supercharger on it (this is only because of the cost, and also everyone seems to under rate superchargers)

 

turbos dont have instant power? even out of boost it will still be making more power then N/A

 

you're looking too deep into what I'm saying. it's much easier to slap a SC on than to put a turbo system in your car. hence....."instant"

i don't understand your "out of boost" comment. how would you make more power out of boost. out of boost the car should feel like it did before you put a turbo on it. at least that's what my butt dyno has proven from my previous setups.

 

True true...and true.

 

this is why i dont come in here anymore.

 

And...we all miss you Sir Smartass.

 

Supercharger or turbo is not something that can be answered without more information because every fanboy and their brother will tell you something different.

If I had to choose either one it would depend on what I was building for. They both have pros and cons. What are your goals? Are you going to leave the motor stock or build it? Is it going to be your only car or do you have something else to drive? Are you going to race it? Is there a certain class you are going to race it in?

If you want to do something different, I say both. Supercharger for low end and to spool the turbo then hold on. No one has twincharged a K20 yet (at least not that I know of).

My hatch has the best of both, instant controllable gobs of torque (at least for a Honda) anytime I touch the gas.

 

No exhaust is forced back into the engine on a turbo car. Compressing air generates heat, the intercooler cools the compressed air coming from the compressor side of the turbo.

 

There are literally hundreds of threads on theis forum, here is one example: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...s+supercharger

 

this is the way i see it.

Supercharge- supercharge runs off your belt. so it dosent have to take time to make its power because its already there from the crankshaft.but in order to make power you have to use power. so your not getting the best of your engine.

Turbo- turbo has more parts and takes longer to produce power but it runs of the intercooler,or air. so your not using your engine to make power. therfore your gettin more out of you motor

TURBO is better in my opinion

 

what? it runs off the intercooler? WTF are you talking about. the turbo runs of the exhaust and the air it creates is forced through the intercooler.

 

-10 pts for me *tear* lol

well you get my point right?

 

i know exactly what you were trying to say but I wasn't sure if you were serious about that intercooler comment.

SC works off energy created by the motor

turbo works off of a waste product created by the motor.

 

my explanation was in my head but i couldnt put it to words lol

but thats what i was trying for

 

Different applications for different uses. It is all about what the driver wants to do with the car.

Supercharger provides a very linear power curve. You are feeling the boost at 3,500 RPM, so you have the additional power for a wider RPM range.

Turbo Charger requires spooling. You need to be at a higher RPM to get the power. When the power kicks in, it hit's harder then the supercharger but in the end, the total power to the wheels is pretty close for both applications.

If you want both, run a supercharger with NOS, which is what I am in the process of setting up. Only a 35 shot, but that should be enough to get me to over 300 to the wheel and provide a nice kick.

 

i think thats what i wanna go for maybe a supercharger....
