need any info for this thread looking to get a s/c or turbo kit for my s seeing any info on these question's are for track use street use and just all around reliability i like the power so which way shall it go.

 

turbos are typically faster on racetracks. either way though to get the reliablity you need a good setup with even better tuning

Ok if you want something for the track go with a S/C b/c we have no bottem end now as it is and with a turbo you have lag and that would just hinder you more in corners espically if you did it right and went with a low compression set up. A s/c will give you less top end power but you will have more power across the board

Joey,

Compared to a SC car, a turbo s2000 would make power "everywhere". My friend's heavier t03/t04 turbo prelude pulls harder than my SC car with only 20 hp more than mine. The prelude's dyno curve spreads those hp's through out the RPM range. There are no peaks and valleys in the SC car's dyno curve. Hp is ever increasing until close to redline. At the track this means that at the turn-in point the SC car is down on hp and it isn't until the corner exit that the car is pulling hard. But there are some cons to a turbo S2000, at the time I bought my supercharger, the turbo kits out there hadn't sorted out all the bugs - I believe they haven't still. My car went straight from my garage to the track after the SC install. No dyno tuning, no boost or egt gauge, not even an A/F ratio check. That very same day one of the sessions lasted 50 minutes long - car never overheated. To date only problems I've had are a loose SC belt grabing hold of my accesories belt on the way out, a broken bolt that holds one of the pulleys (bottom one) and a couple oil leaks.

good luck!

 

hey jicarro thank's for the input going turbo need the rush of the booooooossssssttttt.

 

Remember that heat is an engine killer. Whatever setup you choose be sure to get an intercooler & run the highest octane gas you can find.
