Turbo or Supercharger?

That same flaw is kind of the thing I like about them..... while you need power from the motor to work the supercharger, it is also working from idle. I, myself, want my "power" there from the get-go. If I am idling through something, and just need a little throttle, it is making power.
Of course, Boonie is asking for the sake of his 2.0L VW motor, not a wheeler.

Theres your first error. Farfrommoovin.
Anything high performance should be stock. Replace brake pads and tires only. Dont buy a ninja 250 when you want busa performance.

Run what ya brung. It's like buying a toyota, when you could have bought a buggy....same concept...

I'm mean the power it takes to run the pulley can't be very much more than what it takes to run your A/C, The only difference is your A/C isn't making power for you:fawkdancesmiley: I don't need/want my motor to have to rev to 5k to get anywhere fast, I like low end torque and for daily driving a supercharger is much easier to deal with.:awesomework: Plus, being different, not many people with kraut-burners have a charger whine coming from under the hood.....unless their timing belt is tightened to tight.:haha:
WRONG. You couldnt afford a buggy, So you got a toyota.
Keep your dub stock til ya can afford a r32 or something. Stock badass performance cars will always be worth more than a modded rig.

WRONG. I don't have a toyota and I CHOSE not to own a buggy. Why not put an R32 motor in my golf, that way it'll be faster than the R32 for 5 times cheaper. I will be able to go just as fast as a stock R32 with this supercharger and the rebuilt motor I plan to build and STILL get better gas mileage than the R32 ever THOUGHT of.:haha:
I think this is where people get confused or one-sided... "Why don't you just get the biggest baddest thing out there and be done." IF this were the case I should be shoe-horning one of the new 'vette motors in my car, to be "factory badass":looser:

Why is it going to blow up? Is there an explosive hidden within the oil pan?:eeek:

you still did it in a civic
uke: no matter what the intake preference, you need to adjust your vehicle preference.

nobody has brought up the fact that a super is alot simpler than a turbo. less plumbing, less heat, and heres the biggy= you would look pretty stupid with a turbo sticking out the hood!
and if a turbo feeding a blower is not cool, then why do almost all good air compressors (tools) have two stage pumps? one cylinder feeds the other at a high volum/lower pressure, then the other feeds the tank with high pressure/high volume if I am correct.:corn:

I kind of agree... but not totally. I would much rather have (for example) a Camaro SS, over a stock Camaro that has had add-ons to get it to the same level as the SS. I hope that made sense.... :eeek:
Seems to me your endorsing turd polishing
Sometimes it is a must. We aren't pulling in 60k salaries. I guess in this case, it is pretty much just like fabricating/modding. I just did a SAS on my Toyota, I guess I just LOVE turd polishing.
Should have spent several times more having my custom buggy built. :flipoff: I guess if he pulled it off, and it got even marginaly less performance than a stock R32, but for somewhere around 5 times less, then.... is that bad?

Well it wasn't any normal Civic. Built by English Racing Motorsports, it was fitted with a 4G63T, Eclipse GS trans, Garrett T3/T4, FMIC, MAF translator, blah blah blah. Long story short, its a civic with a eclipse/Evo drivetrain (minus the AWD of course) My vehicle preference has been changed. Im now leaning towards getting a MR2 Turbo. I've had nothing but problems with every honda i've owned. So, staying with Toyota is what i plan on doing.
It's not a bad looking car. Does it really say Hyundai on the intake...? :eeek: :shaking:
It sucks that you have had problems with your Hondas. I am a Toyota guy, myself. But I have a lot of confidence in Honda, as well. My family has owned a few over the years with good luck. I have a 2000 Accord that I just recently got the first tune up done on (at 140k) :awesomework:

Read one of my earlier post, I said that they're simpler.:; Maybe not in so many words...:eeek:

BTW:
R32 = 240hp (CURB WEIGHT = 3409lbs) (14.2lbs/hp)
My 2.slow "goal" = roughly 200bhp (curb weight - 2511lbs) (@ 200hp = 12.5lb/hp)
I guess a supercharger on a polished turd is a bad idea...:booo:
