Anybody gone turbo?

[Noob4Life]

Okay so I'm torn, I've been planning on going SC since alot of them are going CARB. legal but a part of me still want to go turbo. I'm just afraid it's going to be too much of a pain to smog it. My question is has anyone gone turbo? If so what're your plans for smog?

Works is working on trying to get a carb legal kit done.

Yeah I've heard about the kit but honestly IMO with the stock header place I doubt it'll make much more power than a CARB legal SC but I guess time will tell. I'm currently looking at the Jackson Racing SC which I'm pretty impressed with. 285hp on the stock exhaust and 91 oct. I'm assuming i'll be able to get over 300hp with my full exhaust. My starting goal is around 350 to the wheels though lol

That's so much power for the car... Do you really need that much? I could see 200-220 at the wheels giving it some more pep, but 350 is, in my opinion, overkill.

IDK a friend of mine let me drive his car with the stage 1 innovative kit installed and tuned, I'm guessing he was running 210-230 at the wheels with the kit and IMO it wasn't too impressive. Honestly it didn't feel much faster than my car untuned with everything but a front/over pipe. It was keeping with a fox body Roush mustang which i guess is pretty impressive.

If this happens, I think everyone will be a very happy camper.

I am planing on going with works. May end up dooin a custom varraint of their kit hoping for around 300+ on e85. Not sure what will be realistic yet or what my girl will be happy with. If they end up getting carb, you can use whatever headers you want then throw the stock one back on at smog time.

Lol if I had e85 it's be easy to hit the numbers I want. Unfortunately the closest e85 pump is like 30+ miles away

I've heard that too. It'd be worth considering if/when the kit is done and CARB legal.

Are you talking about power at the wheels or at the crank? Also, you need to look at the dyno that was used for advertisement. There will be different readings from dyno to dyno, even between two of the same type of dyno. What's more important is the delta between stock and after the supercharger.

Pretty sure it's to the wheels. I don't know much about dynos but it looks impressive to me lol

I know people are hitting 300+ with 91on stock internals. and we may try for it one day. But I am still a little wary of it.

I dont want to speak for them but I am pretty sure works can make you anything you want, but I know they play it safe. if 350+ is your goal they can likely do it for ya.

Yeah I'll look into Works. Getting my car tuned on Tuesday and am torn between running Torco every fill up.



I have a bottle coming in tomorrow which would put me at around 100oct. I'm trying to get close to 200 to the wheels NA, I've got every bolt on except the front/over pipe. You have any opinons on weather I should run it for the tune and tune off of it or just play it safe and get tuned off reg 91?
