Cost vs. Power: N/A Built Motor

Well, I'm sticking with the worked head, however I'm going to be switching intake manifolds. Thats one thing I'm working on. I'm also in thinking about the perrin fuel rail and going with slightly larger injectors. Other than, the motor in it's current state will stay the same. I'm trying to make a stronger transmission mount and waiting on my new AWR's..Also..Quaiffe. That's "hopefully" this summer. I need to do all of that before I even start on the 9psi of WOMP glory. My theory is, if you can't afford to install it, then replace everything when an unexpected explosion occurs, you shouldn't be dabbling with forced induction. Of course, you could say the same thing about my NA route..but I'm really trying to learn from my mistakes. So, I'm really hoping to be putting down at least 250whp by next fall.
 
Everyone's probably going to pass me in the performance department this summer. My girlfriend and I are getting a place together this summer, and there'll be the requisite furniture and renovations going on. She doesn't have a car right now though so she'll be getting the 1990 GT.

It's all good, I'll still try and keep everyone competitive. 3 for sure mods are the custom header, exhaust cut-out and drag tires(and some new Azenis for AutoX).......

I think once Scorch gets his setup finished, he'll be the benchmark for the NA Protege crowd though...you know what engine management you're going with yet David?
 
How is a supercharger any different than a turbo when adding it to an N/A build? Both raise cyl pressure and intake temps...that is the nature of FI.
 
a turbo IS a supercharger...did someone say differently?...only thing being you can have somewhat of an NA exhaust system with a supercharger, because of the lack of turbo needing room to breathe...everything else needs to be setup for FI though in order for the best efficiency and power...
 
turbo's require different cams in order to maximum the exhaust gas pulses,. Most people who are serious into AN builds will have cams ground that are not effective later on if you decide to add a turbo. However a supercharger will only be enhanced by the engines ability to breath better naturally. A centrifugal blower like this just provides higher volumes of air as your rpm's climb....this is exactly what a good NA build needs.

This isn't a womp thread though. I was just pointing out how someone who invests heavily in a NA build will be able to switch to FI later on should they choose.

Dunno. I'm confused, thus the post....(laugh)

A turbocharger is a type of supercharger...the definition of a supercharger is loosely a device that forces air into an engine, raising volumetric efficiency in some cases beyond 100%...

A turbocharger fits into this definition, and gains the "turbo" from its use of a turbine fed by exhaust gas...The actual "correct" term for it is a "turbine supercharger"...or something...

Yeah, I was clear on that, but not matty P's crappy theory. (scratch)

According to Maximum Boost. The Stock cams on all off the shelf N/A tuned cars, ie (OEM) are as close to Max Performance as they are required...

So saveed some money on CAMS... (naughty)
