In your guy's opinion what do you think would be better, Comptech Supercharger kit or Greddy Turbo kit???


I was just thinking about this, for if I wanted to make the S Forced Inducted, Let me know what you guys think???

 

somebody in the FI section asked basically the same question a couple of days ago. a lot of us had some good things to say..

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=598507

check there first for advice. i've had both kits so if you have any kit specific questions i'd be more than happy to help!

 

turbo just because of the fact that If you dont have all the money all at once to buy a supercharger or turbo kit. you can all ways put together a kit your self and not only save money but you can purchase each part one at a time. plus you can make much more power with a turbo. and dont be scared to put together your own kit there is alot of us on this forum that have done it with some impresive numbers and reliabilty. all you have to do Is ask.

 

This question is asked almost everyday. just go through the posts.

 

Comptech

 

This is some of the dumbest advice I've heard.

Firstly, if you can't afford a SC kit you can't afford a properly put together turbo.

And if you can't afford a properly put together turbo you can't afford a replacement engine which is what you'll need when your corner cutting custom turbo kit blows your block.

 

you have a poor attitude, you need to open your mind to opportunity.

it makes perfect sense to me. if you want to put a gt35r on your car and only have the money for the turbo one month, the money for an aem ems another month later, then after that you find a deal on a decent manifold and intercooler, well you get the point... you don't have to spend all the money in one shot. sure you might spend more in the long run and it might take you a year to get all the parts together, but you will have a much better setup than any kit. you can put together a top notch turbo setup if you are patient, do some research and find the right deals.

 

I also have a turbo S2000

What is the point in buying a turbo and sitting it on the shelf for a year? How does that make any more sense than putting aside the money for a turbo? At least then when you go to buy you get the latest model, haven't run out your warranty sitting on a shelf and can match all your parts together.

BTW, I never said you shouldn't purchase parts and build a custom kit, I just said if you don't have the money to afford an SC (or can't save it) then you don't have the money for a turbo (custom or kit). For your information I had an SC kit, then I built a custom turbo kit, then I blew and replaced my motor. You may not like my attitude but it's built on personal hands on experience. Where does yours come from?

 

They build flanges yo

 

my experience comes from building 3 different turbo setups on my own personal car, and probably about 25-30 setups for other cars. i have yet to do an s2k though

not everyone has all the $ for a kit up front. you can get a cheap kit and it will fail on you because you get what you pay for.... a part sitting on the shelf shows you are committed to going boost and not saving up that wad of cash and then spending it on something smart like a house.

the parts i make have a lifetime warranty, so it doens't matter how long they sit on the shelf, or if they even exchange hands to a different owner, it will still be covered.

you can save a lot of money piecing a kit together by looking for the best deal. you can get some really cheap, high quality parts if you keep your eyes peeled. i got my gt35r for my next setup for $100 and it is still brand new in the box from garrett. i knew i was going to be getting a turbo, i just waited for the right deal/opportunity to come along.
