Turbo vs Supercharger

[ColeIketani]

I'm investgating to get a new turbo or supercharger for my NA Tiburon and I wanted to be clear on some things. (Just to ease my mind)

1) What's the differance between a Turbo and Supercharger?
2) Which one gives a greater differance in horsepower
3) How is the gas mileage affected by installing either or?


Thanks for your help.

wow, you are lazy, first you don't do a search, and now the double post...

sheesh!

Man, what the hell is your problem? I just wanted to make SURE I got it on both boards so I make sure I got the majorities opinion AND make sure that it was on the right board incase it wasn't supposed to be on one.

And what does it matter if I put it on two boards?
Did you cry about it or something? j/k

[MustangRoadRacer]

dude I was just messing around.
post whatever the hell you want.
I don't care.
you are teh funny.

[ColeIketani]

Sorry if I sound cranky, I just hate when people mix up lazyness with asking for assistance

[MustangRoadRacer]

tiburons are cool by the way.
new one or old one?

[ColeIketani]

I have the 2003 model so the "new" one

[MustangRoadRacer]

V6?
6 speed?
I test drove one of those, just for fun.
It had surprisingly good getup.
same engine as in the SUV.
Warranty kicks ass too.
interior suck though.

[ColeIketani]

no I have the 4 speed I-4 so I can tune it later, but I run just as well.

[MustangRoadRacer]

can't tune a v6 6 speed?

[ColeIketani]

well you can, but because of the aluminium body, the most you can top the V-6 too is about 250 hp. The I-4 model, although is the weaker model off the showroom floor ironicly can be tuned through the roof. One has been known to be tuned over 600hp (In Korea) and in the US I've read of some that have around 300 ish HP.

So you can see why I got the I-4 lol

[ColeIketani]

I think I would be satified with a little over 200hp when I'm done and since Hyundai will be building these parts, they should be covered under the warrenty,which makes it all the better

[ColeIketani]

But don't count the I-4 out with the stock engine. It's a competitor, maybe not in the drag strip, but in the autocrosses or in the technical more manuverable courses

you guys kinda got off topic hey ?

my oppionion . turbos are nice cause they are cheaper and add some high end but they take time to spool up , alot of them start kicking in at 2-3 k? superchargers are on right from the get go , they give good horsepower. and i would imagine the supercharger would be more expensive on the fuel card aswell right?

overall depending on how much money you want to spend though id try and get like a stage 4 or 5 turbo , they rip!

[MustangRoadRacer]

stage 4 or 5?
who measures turbos in stages?
usually they are measured in trim size.
