Turboing a 2v

karrarararararar · Oct 4, 2009

i have only seen one on the internet so far that failed and Chad did replace it for him. Also from what I've read he now offers it in stainless and mild steel

Just trying to help you out brother....Dont want you spending all this cash, then on3 disapearing after all theyre kits start breaking and then your screwed.

Turbos WILL make more power and torque with less boost but its not all that beneficial without a built motor since the stock shortblock cant handle much power on these 4.6s and it seems like the supercharged cars hold up better since the tune is a lot more predictable then a turbo car.

And I have no idea where your getting 5-6k for a supercharger kit.

You can get a mongoose kit for 3900 but that comes with everything brand new, fuel setup, maf, sct tuner, and a MPH tune.

You can piece together a vortech setup for like 1500-2k used and have it on your car for like 3k.

I would go turbo too but be prepared and if you cant weld or dont have much mechanical skill I would avoid them.

Yeah, not a bad price for the kit..but Id still need some dyno time IMO..and an intercooler, for sure. Another 1300 there.

I personally ... will never put a supercharger on my car. I hate them.

So many people in my area laugh at turbo's because they say there is turbo lag.... these guys are running centrifugal SC's... MANY of these SCs wont even peak boost untill near 4500 rpm ( p1 ) I mean REALLY? a properly sized turbo on a 4.6 would EASILY peak at 3200 if not even earlier and still be able to spin plenty of air into the motor all the way up to 7k.

turbo's are banned in the NHRA Pro classes for a reason ( they break drive line parts >=)

Im not saying I hate superchargers..but when people say you can get a supercharger for about the same price I dont really agree..3900 for a kit, sure, but I wouldnt run a supercharger without an intercooler. A good intercooler kit is another 1200 at least. So youre already at 5,100 for a kit.

i paid 3200 for my procharger d1sc kit with 3 core intercooler it had 42lb injectors, a 3'' blow-thru maf, an autometer dash gauge bezel. Yes i had to buy my gauges, a tuner, and i opted to buy a 8 rib setup along with a 2.90 rr 8 rib pulley but if you look around you can find good deals on supercharger kits.
