Supercharger..................................???

[Schister66]

twin charging has its place.....but again, i would rather have a little lag and a much less expensive turbo setup. There are guys who have twincharged Hondas and Acuras like mine and had great results

i will keep my view on twin charging to myself

Interesting bit of history I learned yesterday, kinds puts a whole news spin on the language we use around here.

Apparently the full name for the thing we call "TurboCharger" is actually Turbo SuperCharger.

Related to the topic...meh...but interesting...

#3 If you do want one, you need to look for one for a 2000 and up Z-24 Manual.
#4 GM sales them and a couple more companies but they are few. Best bet goto GM.
#5 This will cost you 2 times what a good turbo setup will
#6 A turbo is better hands down.

Good luck either way you go. If you are truely interested I will find the companies who sale them other then GM.

#1 "Alot"? There's not alot at all, I know you need that alternator from a 00+ I can find out what the others are if someone really wants me to. I know there's not "alot". And you DO NOT need HpTuners, all you gotta do is go to GM and have them reflash it.
#2 It's a hell of alot easier then a turbo set up and more reliable.
#3 It doesn't have to be manual
#4 Correct
#5 DEFINITELY NOT - The GM m45 sc is only $1400 plus whatever the reflash is and other parts to accomodate the SC on a pre 00 Cav, regardless...cheaper then a turbo install and cheaper in the long run because you're motor won't blow over time.
#6 Depends, for the most hp a turbo is better. If you want some extra hp for a decent amount of money, a pretty simple install and definitely reliable because Gm makes it specifically for these cars...the Sc is better.
Get your facts straightened out.

I am staying outta this, there is alot of myth, lies, bullshit, and dumbass's flyin around here. But yeah anyways.
I will take a turbo over a supercharger any day of the week and twice on sundays, why? Because they are better. Read the facts and do your research.

[DeadBlade89]

not to be mean, but i thought u said u were gonna stay outta this? i mean, dont say it if ur not going to...

now me, im staying outta this. even tho i wouldnt really choose either over the other. its basicly all on money, time, and gain. its up to the owner themself.

o ya, i said im staying outta this...sry. lol

[OverAllComa]

Meh, I just think superchargers sound prettier.

I have done MY research, research from people who HAVE put GM SC's on pre 00 Cavs. So please do stay outta this and do YOUR research.

And what did they say Lance, good or bad??? I can't find where to get one.

[Lances133]

From the people who have done it, have had nothing but good things to say about it, they love it. Of course a Sc isn't gonna give you as much hp as turbo would but some people want more hp & reliability over alot more hp and chancing blowing a piston through the block. I eventually plan on getting the Gm Sc myself from www.gmpartsdirect.com

Its more reliable and less work then a turbo but you can only squeeze about 220 hp tops from a supercharger, and maybe alittle more from smaller pulleys and stuff...

A turbo, you can go ALOT faster...

IMO, anyone who chooses a supercharger over a turbocharger is very lazy and dont wanna spend hours working on the car, and also dont wanna spend hours to maintain it...

Or for the most part are smart enough to know in most cases its their daily driver and dont want to run the risk of blowing their engine yet still want to have some fun with the car. Not everyone has a full wallet and no life to sit in front of an engine bay for days on end. Most people have families and jobs and bills and social lives.
