yes they do. but they aren't as simple as just bolt on and go.

 

of course. Im just trying to see if there are any benefits of something like this over like a twin screw system or even a traditional turbo

 

turbo is easiest route, because we already have available kits. another benefit is no parasitic loss.

But essentially they all do the same thing, force more air into the engine. it's up to you really.

just know that everything with a supercharger will be custom as nothing really exists.
and a twin screw system would be hard as hell with such small engine bay space and the way our intake manifolds are designed

 

^^^+1 paralytic loss is not a material issue with modern belt driven superchargers but as orange virus states u would be blaZing a trail and would have no knowledge base to pull on

well i figured the twin screw would be a royal pain because of fitment and space so i started looking at the centrifugal and it seemed good enough but like you said the customization is still an issue. I have a turbo on my 06 pushing 8 lbs and it does a decent job but the lag is a problem

 

Which turbo are u running ?

Garrett GT28R72 from tri-point

 

so you are running a turbo and watch to switch to supercharger... that would be a large waste of time and money imo.. maybe if you were starting from an na point but...

if you want quicker spool, look into smaller hot sides

 

no no no im looking into a SC for my hatch. the turbo is in my wife's 06 sedan she wanted more power to go with her lead foot so it got one and installed it for her birthday last year

 

That shouldnt be laggy at all... is it a tripoint solution top to bottom?

 

the tripoint is pretty laggy man, I don't hit full 10psi until like 31-3300rpm+

 

yeah the kit they sell for like 5k. it may not be a turbo issue that is causing the lag but there definitely is for some reason or another

 

around when do you see full boost? I see 10psi by like 3300RPM in 3rd gear, but i'm a 2.5

 

im only a 2.3 and only pushing 8psi. doesnt hit til about 3500 though. what turbo are you using? do you think its a tuning issue that im experiencing?

 

im on the same kit. no its just the nature of the turbo being used. it isn't going to spool as fast as a speed3, because their turbos are a joke and should be for nothing bigger then a 1.5 liter engine. 3500rpm isn't too bad

 

would you recommend a different turbo then? i know most would say its fine but i just hate having paid 5k for it and it not performing as well as predicted.

 

you should post up a separate thread and list what your build consists of, that would be a start..

 

^^^ +1 with manny, the community will be better informed of what u have installed....

Yea, orange is right... That's around about where its meant to spool, comparatively the speed turbo spools much sooner ( low end power) but runs out of steam quickly where as the TP solution uses much bigger turbo which spools later but keeps on going ( mid to top end power )...

Yes a tune may help a bit But i don't think it will bring material gains . If u look at the power band graph for the turbo u will see the turbo is basically kicking in as designed....

So I'd say u have a few possible roads to go down but I still Would not s/c...

1> get a tune and see where this leaves u off, I really don't think this will work for u as I suspect u want boost way down low in the rpm's
2< get a smaller turbo and tune... Gain power down low loose power up hi but I think this is what u want ... I would do a bit of research though into the new turbo before u get it to make sure it's designed to work efficiently in the rpm range u want it to... And that it will bolt into ur setup / minimize mods
3> live with it and adjust ur driving style.... Tbo no one is the same but the attributes that bother u the most are those I am seeking lol


I think u could also have the t/c rebuilt using a differently configured impeller which could allow earlier spool... That said u would again have to research.

Hehe but first get ur build thread up here and get some more input from everybody ... What's the harm ?

if you want it to spool faster, get a different BPV, the one it comes with sucks, and it is OPEN until enough pressure builds up ( at least mine was ) and hurts spool time

 

ok thanks guys. this turbo was the first I have installed so i expected some issues in all honesty. but ill look into what you guys suggested and keep you posted on my progress. Thanks again. my friends have told me how helpful this forum is and they werent kidding.

 

my car spools like 700rpm faster since getting rid of that bpv

 

well if i can get it that low i would be more than happy with that. did you replace the bpv with a different manufacturer?

 

No... I dont think he replaced it... I think he deleted it... Lol... A fair amount of debate about it too I believe ....

 

well not to step on orange but would that be a viable option or should it be replaced in your opinion okellyr?
