Turbo or Supercharged? Debate!

twincharged



haha but srsly, turbo > supercharger

Twincharged FTW....

The greddy kit will work on an ls. The only problem I could see running into (other than a tune) is intake pipe might have a bend in it where it hooks into the TB, to account for the gsr's dual stage manifold. You could probably just buy the pipe off ebay, or make one out of an ebay special sri. If this is going on an ls go with the greddy kit. As I state before, Moss Motors does not support the ls anyomore. It will be a guessing game as to whether parts are interchangable. I'm sure a lot or most are, but they pulled the spare parts list off their website. Unless you have that, You are going to have to play trial and error with replacement parts. Not to mention, the only 2 places that you can buy the sc are ebay and craigslist.

I've already tested all my intercooler piping, and the little wacko bend for the GSR intake manifold still works. It just kinda looks funky and might bump the hood a little. I can always cut it and then clamp it back at a new angle....

i'm getting neither though. Considering buying a DSM T25 turbo off my buddy for hella cheap (he's got like 7 of them) and his dsm 450cc injectors and slapping everything on...... Or saving up for a EF Civic and dropping my buddy's LS motor for $100 into it, and then boosting that.... Not sure which way, but definately turbo now. Lost the deal of S/C anyway. It was like $500 though. :cry:

supercharger = road racing/autox
turbo = drag

Turbo works fine for road racing. You just have to do it right. Slapping a big, laggy turbo on a FWD car isn't going to cut it. I'd personally rather have a turbo for road racing. You can size it properly to have nice forgiving torque curve and will still having the nuts to not get smoked every time you get on the straights.

But that's Honda people (yes I'm stereotyping). So many of them slap on a turbo that's good for 500hp but only use it to make 300. I see so many people that just go buy a T3/T4 that is totally oversized for that application
