the turbo question -
i had a turbo on the car awhile back - terrible!
i make more power at 60% boost with the charger!
turbo creates to much heat in the engine bay,engine itself , and most importantly the intake air temp. and to lower the heat you must retard spark timing or use nos which is not always practical as a daily driver.
the only problem i had with the current centrifugal charger (like i had with the turbo aswell) is boost lag. boost only comes in strong at 4000rpm.
so i decided to add a small roots style blower on the plenum aswell.
this would give me 7psi instantly at any rpm below 4000rpm. and you can just imagine what happens when the 2 chargers overlap each other from that point on! and vtec adding to the insanity at 4200rpm!
i tried it all already. all the combinations. turbo + charger didn't work aswell as 2 chargers. i had a full- on jackson racing race supercharger kit and that was decent power up to 6000rpm, after that boost levels drop and power sucks.
superchargers are the way to go! ask sumone that knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!
