hey ive been doing some lookin and am tryin to decide between the trd s/c or a turbo? anyone knoe a good cheap turbo? and is a turbo guna mess up my car at all?

 

That shouldn't even be a sentence. There's no such thing as a good cheap turbo.

If this is how your going at it, just go to the dealership, get the supercharger and keep your warantee.

 

there are about 50 threads with the exact same title.

 

Well TRD just released a new lower price for the supercharger. I beileve around 2130. You could also get a ZPI stage 0 for 2200 i beileve... havnt looked at it in a while. But definitly search around here. Make a list of what you want your car to be able to do. Pros/Cons of each and lastly find out how much money you want to spend. Dont forget if you get a turbo your going to need to get a tune, engine managment (depending on turbo setup), injectors... and regardless if you go turbo or supercharger your going to want to get a new clutch and flywheel.

 

A Supercharger is not worth the money, for about 3 grand you will only take bout half a second off your 0-60 and 1/4 mile. But if you go turbo you can achieve much more. The technology has gotten so much better. Go for the ZPI Stage 0 Turbo kit. For around the same price you will have bout 40 more whp. www.zeropointindustries.net

 

Turbo

LOCK!

 

go dezod s1 kit. Call em up they're really helpful

 

LoL 1/2 a second on your 0-60 and 1/4mile. Right, that's how I ran a 9.19 in the 1/8, that's a full second off 1/8mile time alone giving more than a second off 1/4mile for sure.

 

just get both since you're so indecisive hehe

 

Just incase you need proof.

If you got the S/C, and spent about $7000 (not including labor) you can get up to about 311whp, like IceNine.

My recommendation, get a Dezod S1 Turbo Kit. With that kit, pressure sensor, and black box (emanage blue or ultimate, ur choice) you can obtain 250+whp on 8psi. Turn up the boost to 10psi, and you'll be close to 290whp. Plus, Dezod has great customer service, you can never go wrong with them!

 

im with blue, just get both and create a superturbo

 

Both = Twincharged, or Gojira.

 

i think i just wet my pants.................^^^

 

Ditto.

 

LOL....and yet STILL no evidence that it even runs.

Anyhow, back on topic......doesn't this thread seam all to familar?


I can't remember if you said you were on a Stock S/C'er when you ran that 9.19. Was it your constant time, or a one hit wonder? If a one time thing, what were your constant times?

What have you ran in the 1/4 so far?

 

ohhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiit super white solcal, don't let that punk a$$ turbo tC driver disrespect you like that!!!! (throwin gang signs all over the place)

 

Naw....dont get a supercharger....deff. not worth it, a stage zero zpi turbo will get you 230 hp to the wheels! for 2915, thats what ima get check it out!

Ya but isnt a turn around for a stage zero like 6 months... im thinking with the new price drop a supercharger would fit my needs. But I know I will want more. Check out the dezod s1, turbo toyotas stage one, zpi stage 0 or even treadstone. Get some ideas of what you want and wait a couple months and see what happens. If you still have your heart set on that one thing then go for it, wether it be a supercharger or turbo.

 

No quarter mile runs, only 1/8 low 9's average with 9.19 being my best... and dont ask me to furbish any timeslips I lost them... All I have is the video of my 9.19 @ 77mph. mods at the time were. NST 9.5psi pulley, MMW Header, HKS axle back, and whp at the time was 222.90 and tq at 193.73, don't have a scanner up and running right now so I snaped a pic of the dyno sheet...




This was before and after Brian at Fujita did R&D for a CAI for s/c tCs. The before is with the listed parts above, minus the CAI of couse.
