there are 4 types of "superchargers" that do basicly the same thing, but do it in fairly diffrent mannors...................... roots, twin screw, g-ladder, and centrifigual...........

**Kyle** · 02-03-2007, 03:49 PM

Turbo

They all force more CFM into a motor than it can process, flow vs. restiance = pressure/boost.

To really get a true answer you have to know about each device, limitations, effecenty, charicteristics, ect. ............. There is a world of diffrence between superchargers.................. enough to really group them seperatly.........even though they do basicly the same thing

my pick of superchargers: twinscrew
Of course my car is turbo'd, but that's mainly because it was cheaper than a twinscrew............................

**KA98S10** · 02-03-2007, 11:39 PM

it was supercharger, but now turbo... the numbers just wern't obtainable with a supercharger.

**slow_hatch** · 02-04-2007, 08:00 AM

Depends on what kinda of car and what the car is going to be used for, but gonna have to go with Turbo.

**Jecht** · 02-04-2007, 10:21 AM

I guess I'm the only one that likes superchargers then. They are usually bolt on kits, are very reliable, improves the entire power band, fast off the line even at low rpm, and there isn't as much to worry about. I, however, am the only person on this board that doesn't care about HP though.

**Maki** · 02-04-2007, 10:48 AM

i find turbo more versitile but i have also had s/c. they both are nice but since i dont run a V8 (kinda steriotypical) ill have to go with a turbo

**Bruce Leroy** · 02-05-2007, 10:32 AM

I hate turbo lag. So i would say supercharger.

**Maki** · 02-05-2007, 10:43 AM

If you correctly match the turbo to your set up, turbo lag is almost non existant. its only when you have a massive turbo on a tiny motor or is tuned wrong (or not at all) and possibly if you are running a journal bearing turbo is when you encounter "lag".

even on the stock turbo vehicles that i've driven, there is that split second of turbo lag right after you press gas. It annoys the SHIT out of me.

**Big J** · 02-05-2007, 02:57 PM

damn that slight delay right before it makes twice the power an simular NA motor would make

**never2loud** · 02-05-2007, 08:47 PM

i know i think the power gain after that split of A split second lag sucks ass. escpecially before that shit load of power..

i think its there for you to catch your breathe beforre all the power

**soplocar** · 02-05-2007, 09:23 PM

TURBO!!!!!!!!

**StupidBikerBoy** · 02-06-2007, 02:46 AM

Supercharger.

Better driveability and throttle response, especially on higher HP builds. The only downside is being driven off the engine.

**Nemesis** · 02-06-2007, 12:42 PM

You forgot electric superchargers as a type

lol

**Maki** · 02-06-2007, 01:39 PM

The reason stock turbo cars are laggy is because og the tiny exhaust. the bigger the exhaust the faster the spool up.

**wantboost** · 02-06-2007, 01:48 PM

^^lolol, i have never considered any stock turbo car that i have driven to be laggy.

**Maki** · 02-06-2007, 03:08 PM

it is once you put an exhaust on or move to a ball bearing turbo then almost all other turbos feel laggy

**JstAneon** · 02-06-2007, 03:46 PM

I like my turbos lag. It's works like a traction aid for me.

**TheSnail** · 02-07-2007, 07:43 AM

Wheres the video of the rednecks with the s10 that used a leaf blower for forced induction? They gained like 11hp to the wheels lol.

Drive a stock Mazdaspeed MX-5, then drive one with an intake, exhaust, BOV (stock one leaks), and throttle body hardpipe (stock one is rubber). Night and day difference.

**Maki** · 02-07-2007, 09:37 AM

^^^ see told you, intake and exhaust change a turbo car completly

**Maki** · 02-07-2007, 09:58 AM

i was comparing stock turbo lag to larger aftermarket turbo in which case the stock turbo lag does not feel so bad. but yes i agree i/e does help.

Apparantly there are two of us then! sweet

Power is not everything, suspension plays a larger role than the engine does... hands down.

I, however, choose Teh Twerboz

**Maki** · 02-08-2007, 01:00 PM

i agree also. high hp i could care less about. i love a well handling car. 300 hp is plenty on a back road

**shavedcivic** · 02-10-2007, 08:10 AM

SuperCharger!!!!!!!!

**GOT PSI** · 02-15-2007, 06:29 PM

I have a supercharger and I like the quick boost but I would rather have a turbo!

**Tatiana** · 02-21-2007, 03:37 PM

Supercharger!!!! And screw that bitch twice, thank ya kindly! :idb:

You turbo guys wanna go into changing intake, exhausts, etc. etc. when all twin screw has to worry about is the engine's ability to rev it up. get you a lighter fly wheel, and get r done!

**spoolnteg** · 02-23-2007, 10:28 AM

I would have to say turbo. I also agree with the above mentioned, If you match the turbo up with the setup and get it tuned then there should almost be no lag. Another thing that matters is the boost controller, I have found out that depending on the type of conntroller used it can creat lag and i know for a fact they do. So all in all if you have it setup right for a decent amount of power like 300 or somthing on a honda motor there should be almost no lag.. But hey what do i know

**rocket256** · 02-24-2007, 02:29 PM

I say turbo. Supercharger is for X-cross.

**pjb2006** · 03-03-2007, 03:44 PM
