Thread: Turbo or supercharger?

Turbo, fitted a supercharger to my 3l which was awesome for its intended use off road, would not recommend for on road.very noisy and takes a lot of power to make power.

Turbo it.

Not sure? was off a 1600 like the mr2 but not, overdriven with the biggest crank pulley I could physically fit,5psi at idle 12-13psi max. burying the boot from idle in second on tar would have the rears struggling for traction,low second on steep climes could drop back to 7-800rpm and pull away again where stock if it dropped below 2200rpm it died.

yep sounds like a sc14, i had one of those was gonna fit it but got the shits cus it was gonna take too long (i was an impatient young fella back then though). was it worth it you think? i hate how sluggish my ute is, and i like the idea you can turn them on and off. did you get it road legal?

Yes fully certed for supercharger, custom suspension, bar work, 33" tires custom offset wheels.

Yes worth it for the off road,would not do it again for a registered vehicle. Turbo it,much simpler and better result and more reliable for a road vehicle.
