To supercharge or not to supercharge

[Leroy Peterson]

Procharge.

 

Saw a rolls Royce ghost stuck in traffic on the Monash last night, had plenty of time to admire it. f**k it's such a baller car. Needs work though, and roof/profile is a bit tall.

Had white HID fog light things in the front bar, but the headlight parkers were yellow. Ewww. And because of the pointy shaped bonnet, to change the headlight globes is probably an engine out job lol

Dezz turbo kits too

Twin 2871 turbos on a 6l engine.

Thing would be on boost just off idle. That would made silly amounts of torque.

nothing quite says looking after your customer than putting a customers Twin turboed car on your page also showing their P-plates and rego....

What's to say that car even has the kit? Could just be a photo they found of the generation of car they are marketing it for.

kicked over S14 to charge the battery today.

 

15 min later it missfiring and blowing smoke..

f**k it.

It's 20 years old. Something is always going to be an issue

[emts]

not much in the engine bay that 20yo...

If you've never had supercharged v8 before give it a go  easy skids & instant power, whine is good too. 

Don't get me wrong love mine but after nearly 6 years ownership ready to get back into a turbo for something different, that's only cos of how long I've had it.

If fuel economy is a concern, a positive displacement Supercharger (what Magnuson offer) will use more fuel all the time.

It will make a lot of power in the low to midrange but will lose out up top to the turbos or centrifugal superchargers, the advantage being positive displacement superchargers are almost lag free and make near their full boost a fraction of a second after you open the throttle enough to close the bypass valve.

Just depends what you want, the positive displacement Supercharger will feel like you have a couple extra L of displacement, the turbos or centrifugal need you to get the revs up a bit before they show what they can do so they tend to be similar in the midrange and then take the advantage in the top end.

Install wise, Superchargers are much simpler than any turbo kit.

[TiTAN]

The Supercharger on the lsa is a 1.9L blower, the heartbeat one from Magnuson is 2.3L. They have to spin the little 1.9 hard for their 507 kit.

[UNR33L]

He drives a 6.2l V8, I don't think he's concerned about fuel.

Yeah mines a 1.9l harrop! about 9psi atm

Magnuson heartbeat 2.3L sounds familiar... I think that's what he said to get

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I cant see how lag could ever factor into your choice on a 6 litre motor [emoji23]

[Leroy Peterson]

Fuel consumption is also a factor
