lol. To each their own. I'm just shocked at the cars I see that run 4 or 5 or more piggyback computers. It just seems silly to me.

yeah, turbochargers are more efficient. They run off of WASTED exhaust gas, which can be UP TO 70% of the POWER released from exploding an Air/Fuel mixture. And, if you get a SMALL, BALLBEARING turbo like a Garrett GT25R or GT28RS and you would have VERY minimal lag anyway.

Superchargers are pretty cool, but aren't efficient past 5+ psi. It really just depends on your situation. I think everyone would love to see some supercharged and turbocharged Yarii in the near future.

I love superchargers, but im from the old school musclecar crowd where your NA engine is already pushing 350 - 400hp. Nothing beats the whine of a big block supercharger. They are much simpler as well, much simpler to setup and run a hell of a lot cooler - no turbo timers neccessary.

I think turbos are used mostly on low displacement imports and domestics to make the most of the power they can make, like its been said SC are parasitic, some more so than others. Turbos are more efficient to a certain degree.
When the Yaris only makes 100hp you dont really want to pull 20% of that to run a SC to make back only 10% (130-140 safe hp) - you would need a higher psi SC to make the same power with a turbo at lower psi

exactly... since the s/c run off the pulley, it's essentially using/sapping the energy from the car to create more.

there for you see more import cars which generally have smaller displacements using turbos to make up for the lack of displacement.


also, turbos can be boosted up to a very high pressure. I think best example is Cheesefrog's civic which using the stock D series engine managed to kill a viper.

well... for those looking for some cheap quick power... i found this.

www.electricsupercharger.com

from the videos and the concept idea.... it seems like this does work.. not sure though. it might just be a scam but idk.

lol... that's pretty lame. You could build one at home depot for way less than they are charging.

i don't think so. That motor for that fan is pretty compact. As for getting the parts at home depot, nice try. No you can't. Your mighty attempt at a witty remark has failed miserably. Congratulations. You are now promoted to e-thug.

I talked with the people at grd performance. They said that this would actually work but with the connection directly after the filter, you wouldn't even see 1 psi.
