Re:Can i out a supercharger on my 4g64??? - 2007/10/28 13:03 you never get the same power with a sc than a turbo, superchargers steal power to make power, cool fact... instant power, dont have to wait til you hit so many rpms to build the boost... other example... a civic for example.. at 7 psi with a turbo will make (example) 170whp at 7 psi, with a supercharger at 7 psi will make 145whp... pretty much it ateals power to make power. turbos are better if you want highway poer, or quarter miles, superchargers are better for tight road courses and autocross... superchargers are a lot more expensive than turbos, also a lot more expensive to fix. other fact is that superchargers last longer and are "safer" than turbos... other thing is that superchargers add like 30% more power than stock whp. so if you supercharge a civic which produces 130whp, you will probably put down about 170whp. with turbo, you would be around 200whp... now if you supercharge a 800whp pro-stock drag car you would probably get around 1200whp.. (all these numbers are samples, i didnt pick these of any website or anything) is just off me doing research. now if you see the world records or the bad ass drag cars and stuff you will notice that turbo is where the power is at. also, superchargers are tough to find but sometimes easier to install. turbos, pretty much any car can be turboed... i hope this helped a little bit.. im sure Russ will add to this

Re:Can i out a supercharger on my 4g64??? - 2007/10/29 04:55 Actually it helped alot.......i was also wondering about emissions laws with turbos......i live in Minnesota where there is no emission law......but may be moving to california in the next 3 years where there are strict emission laws.....how will a turbo affect me with this?? will i be able to drive my car in california or have to tow it to a race track only??? Dont need no more tickets......lol i have nough of those....... I was looking at both turbo and supercharger and found alot of the same info you gave me......im probably going with turbo anyway.......the cool factor is WAY higher on a turbo than a supercharger anyway......lol......they make a much COOLER sound when driving.

Re:Can i out a supercharger on my 4g64??? - 2007/10/30 07:57 well, not too sure about the emissions, i live in ga, but cali has pretty stupid laws about cars, like for a while hey came out with a law where only some cold air intakes were permitted, wtf?? same thing with exhaust and stuff. im glad you going turbo, you wont regret it... i dont think emissions are too different between turbo and supercharger, they both are boost!!! and you might wanna do some research in cali, it would suck for you to move over there after puttin so much money into your car and not being able to show it off or drive it around... i hope everything works out for you
