Turbo Vs. Supercharger

[boisking]

Allrite guys i have sort of a decision to make and that is to use a forced induction on my NC after the warrenty goes up.


1. Turbo or supercharger?
2. How much PSI should i run?

3. keep in mind that i love the feel of the car and great handling, the car is gunna be used for more circuit and drift runs than straight-a-ways,.....

4......and the only reason for me to have forced induction is to smoke all those cocky camaros,and mustangs with their music blaring to the point of premature defness off the line and from a 40 roll. But dont get me wrong i love all cars just like jesus loves everyone,

5...i just hate it when muscle-heads overlook smaller engines.
Thanks

1. Both. twincharging is the only route to go. It gives you all the good attributes of both a supercharger and a turbo. If you are lucky, you'll get all the bad attributes, too! That car would be pretty hot.

2. I'm thinking 40-50. Hey, if a big rig can do it, you can. Big rigs are slow, however, so maybe we should shoot even higher than that. Try for 75-85psi.

3. Seriously, spend your money on springs and shocks. Ever seen a 1986 corolla drift? They are low-power vehicles.

4. Buy a bike. Then you can put those mustang and f-body guys in their place...and the Germans and Italians.

5. 600cc is a small engine in my book.

I still a newb at some of this stuff and a lot of these post are very helpful .... for the most part -_- I mean come on 75 to 85 PSI?

first off if i ever manage to ever get that thing to spool im pretty sure my engine will blow once it hits.

And second if my engine isnt in pieces by then my stock tires would churn all day to the wire.

But its all rite my friends and I say that kinda stuff all the time and i really don't mind the absurdness of the humor.

Good points Iain. Just so you know here is an NC supercharger: https://2693453429.monstercommercesi...WPROD&ProdID=2

In case you guys didn't here the news, SOT no longer sells to the public. They are now in bed with FM.

As for that particular supercharger by SOT, well let's just say that SOT and BRP previously has not had a very good record of product development.

If you have an NC, you have a while to go yet before a vendor of any real reputation has a FI for you.

Bell is working on FI for the NC too.

IIRC, they gave up on a SC for the NC citing cost. So in essence, they are starting over from square 1.

Seriously, I wouldn't count ANYONE as being anywhere close to having a workable NC FI yet.

yes


I never suggested they did.

Now, if you are smart and bold, you can always attempt to engineer your own FI kit.

I wasn't even aware that a sc/turbo kit has even been released yet for the NC's. I heard that the company Blitz from Japan was working on a turbo setup for the NC but wasn't yet released. If your trying to drift and do rolling drag races you would probably be better off with a turbo.

its called a diy kit, turbocharge all the way...
come to me if you need some info i'll show you some
tricks for your bad ass ride, lol...
