Superchargers

[Viper_Storm]

oh and btw, i used to think about mounting my turbos back there near the cats but after awhile i thought that it wouldnt work becasue by the time the charged air got to where it was going it wouldnt be charged anymore... other wise we would have seen it before right? lol, the aussie f's stole my idea... lol and idea i never told anyone becasue i thought i might get flamed

i was thinking about throwing a pro charger on my soon to come set up and ive noticed that they fit under our hoods pretty good ( before my ss hood swap) i hope u go through with that turbo or s/c set up that would be bad azzed!

lol, did you see that first link that 89 posted? under the hood of that car is so nice and clean, and the turbo setup is 100% stealth... im 99.9% sure i will be getting that turbo setup.

But isnt there a lot more maintanence with a turbo system? I believe to properly maintain a turbo you have to let the car idle for about a minute or two before driving it and then let in idle for about 5-10 minutes before shutting it off to let it cool. Also you have to change your oil more often. Thats for most turbos anyways. Volkwagon turbo are unique in that they have a different design that allows longer life. Also the volkswagon turbo always spins which allows for a dramatic decrease in lag. Good stuff though. I was looking at buying a porshe 944 turbo and found out about this stuff...They make awsome power though.

I think that both Turbo and Superchargers you gotta take care of them the same if you want long life outta them.

i havent read anything about letting my car idle for awhile before i drive it... but sure i will do that... letting my car idle for 5 - 10 mins before i shut it of to let them cool is just stupid, they will cool while my car is off.. if it messes up the turbo im gonna smash someone in the head with it

Yeah, wouldnt let the car run for an extra 5-10 mins keep it hot or warm?

lol, no its considered "usless idling" lol, anything over 3 mins here in Jersey is a ticket...

[Rally Sport]

The hell? You get a ticket for that?

[Viper_Storm]

yep... what can i say...

[88camaroproject]

wow now that is fucked up, tickits for sitting it your car with it idling for more then 3 minutes??? what if your wifes in the store and its freezing ballz outside, you gotta have some heat. come on now. i dont have that prob in florida though

[89IROC&RS]

the run time before turning off the engine is real, it can be controlled by a turbo timer that keeps the engine running after you turn the ignition off. the reason for this is that turbo housings get HOT and if you just shut the engine off, the rapid cooling can cause the turbo housing to crack. its pretty common among turbocharged cars.

as far as the problems with overboosted PSI levels, the pressure can cause detonation, blown out piston rings, burned/melted spark plugs, blown out head gaskets, burned valves, and in extreme cases can send your cylender head on vacation.

i was gonna go with procharger i wasnt sure which tho (PSC-1 or DSC-1) but then 89 posted that like of that stealth turbo setup and i really liked that, the super charger has to be run by the belt so its always gonna be right there... it will be the first thing you always see, thats why i decided to go with the stealth turbo set up and besides with less piping in the engine bay it will be less of a hassle to do minor enging repairs.

Hahaha your really tryin to hide this stuff arent you! im pretty sure anyone who knows what ot look for (Tubing) will know you've got somthing more than stock. Besides If there under your hood its gonna be pretty had to hide most moddes, its the guy next to you at the light on a long stright away that doesnt get to see what youve got unless its a blower sticking outa the hood at which point is used for intimidation. but good luck with steath turbo thing.
