Turbocharged vs supercharged

[x808drifter]

Forgot "What oil brand/weight to use?"

The trick is to post multiple questions with incomplete info then never return to the thread as it tops post #1001 of comprehensive info for every possible scenario.

Or ask questions that have been answered infinite times before and then get butthurt when the answer isn't what you wanted to hear.

Using search engines is one of those things like turn signals. No matter what you do, some people refuse to use them.

how much horsepower will a light weight pulley add? 10 or 20?
If I combine it with a lightweight carbon driveshaft will I beat my neighbors mustang gt in the 1/4 mile? I heard those are good for at least 30 hp.

Car leaks oil....

You forgot which oil brand and weight is best. EDIT. I forgot to read the rest of the thread. Glad I am contributing so well today.

Which CAI/SRI should I get? Those add like 15-20 HP right?

Only with a throttle body spacer

Nitrous is the only way...

You guys are way off topic.

People trying to flip one of it’s biggest flaws “no torque” as a strength. You can always turn down low/mid range but JRSC can’t turn it up. And low/mid range torque is what gives you that fun hit and added power for daily driving. JRSC is basically stock below 5k then it comes to life.

Parasitic loss is about needing to make 300 crank hp to make 240whp. VS a turbo making 300 crank at 260whp or only needing 280 crank (less stress) to make the same 240whp. That is parasitic loss. Not MPG which would be impacted but who cares about a few MPG difference.

Turbo for a daily doesn’t require much heat management. For the track then 100% which is why turbo track builds are for ballers. JRSC is the best low budget FI track build.

For a pure daily a turbo is better, even more so with autos because of the gearing.

Superchargers in general are simpler than turbos. But if he either A. has tons of mechanical skill or B. is paying someone it doesn’t matter. For a entry level wrencher Supercharger is easier. Main reason i chose supercharger. But having the knowledge and skill i have now i would have turboed.

So again. Before anything can be decided OP needs to answer the below as JRSC is far from a best in any/all scenarios.

Goal?
Budget?
Car use?
Mechanical skill level?

I have a turbo tuned to a supercharger powerband.

I stopped shredding transmissions after I did that.

Just saying.

So your turbo has much more “tuning customization options” compared to a supercharger?
Can be turned to “kill mode” if and when you wanted, or daily, or track, or any number of maps for various octanes and circumstances?
And is probably making a decent amount less hp at the crank for the same amount of whp?

Also OP has an auto not manual. So not really relevant especially since auto is known to handle a solid 20+ ft lbs more with ease. And probably substantially more then that with trans cooler and ssp valve body.

The turbo does not. The stuff I added beyond the kit gives me some control.

I don't have a "kill" mode. My wastegate effectively runs permanently closed, and the power i make is all i make.

A supercharger can also have any number of maps for various octanes and circumstances.
