sadly to say , the one in pic isnt mine. (no access to a scanner ) but i think mine is equally as nice. it was out on sat.

 

::cough:: turbo ::cough::

 

hmm how would i go about that one? and would it be any cheaper/easier?

 

easier...depends. cheaper, in the long run, YES!


the pro's i see of turbos:

1. lots of people rebuild turbos around here, dont see very many supercharger repair shops probably because alot of companies such as Vortech do inhouse rebuilds as they own the patent.

2. boost is easily adjustable on a turbo, no swapping pulleys, just pressing a button, or turning a nob.

3. you retain your NA driving and are only in boost when you want to be (saves alot on gas)

4. most turbo's operate above 70% efficiency...highest ive seen a supercharger advertised for? around 55%.

5. i dont like the idea of taking away power to get power (more belts, more pulleys, more mass the motor is trying to turn)

in general i just like the characteristics of a turbo application for streetability. now if you have a cam in there, i would suggest taking it out and find something with as little valve overlap as possible...think lotsa lift, not alot of duration...maybe 114-116LSA

EDIT* i just saw you had a carb, it would be worthwhile to look for a good blowthrough carb as i am not sure how a turbo setup would acted on a carbed application.

 

im have to go with jeff on this one...as i dont know how a turbo would act on a carbed motor, in this situation i would say tried and true is the best course of action. if it was fuel injected, id say go turbo.

 

hmm i think youre right chronic, plus i love the whistle of a supercharger

 

LOL oh shit my bad man
