I was thinking about getting a supercharger or turbo for my rex. The only question is what to get either a supercharger or turbo. It has the stock motor (1.6L SOHC with 150,000 on it). Should i risk putting a supercharger or a turbo on it, or just get a b16A and put a mod on that. what do ya guys think.
Thanks

um probly b16a would be your best bet since if you later on want more power you can mod it up but with a turbo you will be imited and only rreach about the power of the b16a

Yeh Spy54 is rite for once ...jk;) No seriously go for the b16 if you have the money. Then later on u can think about turbo or supercharge:)

There are some other motors you could think about too such as the LS(B18A/B18B) and boost either of those later on.

I think i am going to upgrade and get the B16A. But should i put a Turbo on it or a Supercharger, whats the difference and what is cheaper and or better. Thanks
P.S. Where is a good place to find a B16A in good condition.
Thanks once again

As for turbo or supercharge...i like turbo better just in my opinion. I think there is alot more you can do with it. The turbo is ran off of unused exhaust gases and a supercharger is driven by belt.
