Re: Turboing a second gen mx-6

installation of a super charger is a lot more easy than a turbo also theres a lot less things to go wrong on the super charger

so how does the supercharger work on your car?
exactly

and how many superchargers have you installed?
how many turbos?

there are far more turboed cars on the street over supercharged cars...but supercharged is better! get a clue

Re: Turboing a second gen mx-6

well lets see a supercharger is basicly a turbo without the exaughst side and a pully put on it every thing runs off a belt so the only hard part to the installation is the tapping off the oil pan no messin with the pipes or any thing like that not to mention theres no lag from a supercharger its constant power the only down side to the supercharger is your limeted to the amount of boost you can create by the size of pulley you have installed

What Big Numbers All I See Is Around 278 To The Wheels With Turbo 2.5 V6. That Sad I Seen Hondas Put Out 250 On A St0ck B Series Motor And 300-800 On A Modified One.

Turbo cars are alot more adjustable in terms of power. Supercharged you hit that limit then thats it. Plus with turbo you can still have good mileage.

Re: Turboing a second gen mx-6

Bill57 I'm Not Trying To Bash You Or The Car But I Had Friends With The Probe With The Jdm 200hp Motors And They All Have Abandon They Projects For A Honda Or Dsm. And I Have To Agree With Them It Cost To Much Money To Make The Same Hp As Other Cars Like The Hondas And Dsms
