Superchargers weight compared to turbo kit weight?

[jj010]

Anyone know whats the trd s/c weight compared to a turbo stage 0 ZPI kit, I wanted to see which one weight the most, and would less weight beat more horsepower that the turbo stage 0 ZPI kit puts out? For instance if the s/c had 300 whp and the turbo kit had 300 whp. Thanx! 8)

the shipping weight of our kit is ~50 that's with packing materials and boxes, etc..

the supercharger is a heavy biscuit. I'd almost guarantee it weighs more. I may be able to weigh one.. since we have a supercharger on the shelf.. took it off, it was too slow. replaced by turbo kit. :)

Edit: Cute swear filter.. biscuit... that's amusing.

I'm interested in the stage 0 kit from ZPI but why doesn't it come with an intercooler?

Could someone shed some light on the subject, thanx

At that low of boost you really dont need the intercooler, but if you want one you can always add one, i have an intercooler if you want to buy one and you could ge the piping custom made :) or you could just buy the intercooler kit from ZPI

At 6psi, you can get away without an intercooler. The stage 0 leaves you with the option to customize your setup however you want. We've got people with methanol injection, ScionDad has the Air/Water intercooler, and people who've added their own FMIC to their specifications.

There are a number of options available.

The supercharger box weighed in at 71lbs and my Turbonetics box weighed in at 115lbs. So the turbo kit is heavier. I had to lift my coilovers after I installed my turbo kit because my tires started rubbing my inner wheelwells because of the weight difference :)

Yes, but I think the Supercharger kit includes a new oil pan right? so the weight of the oil pan would not be added since it only replaces the oil pan already on the car.
