ShaleZoom3 - New Stuff to the Ride

[shalezoom3]

LOL cool......... I am friends with the guy that used to own it....I thought that was the car, but wasn't sure.


us vegas modified 3's are very slim...we flock together..lol.

 

[Aloha808]

haha i have his car i called him once to see if he changed the motor mount but he didnt so i guess i have to change that

 

[Aloha808]

Should i put 4-1 header or 4-2-1

 

[shalezoom3]

I plan on putting a header on mine for the time being....then most likely charge the car....waiting for HiBoost's kit to come out.

but that AWR mount is a good part to get...does cause some vibrations with the A/C compressor on.

 

[Aloha808]

ic what headers are u getting im still depending on getting obx 4-1 or vibrant 4-2-1 header

 

[alphanumeric]

isnt 4-2-1 good for boosting ?

 

[Aloha808]

dunno whats good for mazda 4-1 or 4-2-1

 

[shalezoom3]

I actually think i may go with the thunder header...which is a 4-1.

I thought 4-1 was better for superchargers...not sure

I haven't seen dyno figures on the obx or vibrant.....but the 3 won't gain much hp though.

ehe... not for turbo... cos ya throw it out and use the turbo manifold instead...

for a supercharger, just depends on what turns out to be the freeest flowing header, and if youre looking to tune for mor ehigh end or low end...

oh, right, forgot about that.

WHAT A LOSER... LOL

rj u should turbo ur car, instead of calling it "turbee" u can call it "turbanana" hehe

 

[shalezoom3]

lol.

but supercharging is still boosting so you where half right...lol

 

[rjs_protege5]

Does supercharging last longer than turboing your car? i mean which one will most likely blow sooner?? Which one is more powerful also?? I just wanted to know, just cuz i dont know about boosting...

Peace,

turbo = doesnt take power to make power. driven by exhaust gasses. usually takes more piping. set boost through the controller. takes some time to make boost (turbine has to spool up). makes cool BOV noise


supercharger = takes power to make power. and more strain on the motor. driven by a pulley connected to the crank or other periphery. piping is simpler. set boost through the drive pulley. boost is usually proportional to engine speed. makes cool pulley noise

i would think that the s/c will wear out ur motor sooner just because it makes extra strain on the motor. turbo is usually cheaper to go with than s/c also. and who wouldnt want that cool boost gauge ? aleks ? hahaha. s/c, i believe, makes a set amount of boost throughout the RPM range, dictated by the pulley size. turbo makes a "peak" amount of boost at a certain rev.

i'm personally going with s/c just because it's uberly simpler than the turbo for my car. and i want that high pitched whirring sound that s/c's make hehehe

f/i experts can chime in for any corrections

 

[shalezoom3]

pretty much covered alot....but alot of superchargers now hardly take any power.

I know for example there is a sc for the new mustang that only takes 1hp but gives 120whp.

so in the long run it actually isn't making the motor work that much harder.

but generally with the turbo, you can increase boost and upgrade turbos....you are kind set with a s/c

is it for the v6 mustang ? i know ford is offering a s/c kit for them.
the kit i want to get has a ATI P600B Supercharger and it comes with a FMIC !!!

SC = remove intake manifold, install supercharger, plug in piggy back, enjoy!

Turbo = remove header/exhaust, install turbo/intercooler/oil lines/ECU, hit the dyno and tune.

in the end you'll make much more power with the turbo, but the SC is more reliable power.

less moving parts = less things that can go wrong = reliability

i dunno i'm at work and bored, i may have said stuff that's already been said lol

No its for the GT V8. How much should that charger give you??

what about centrifugal s/c's ?

No its for the GT V8. How much should that charger give you??

about 50-100 hp (depending on tuning) at 9psi.
