KBs are nice, but are turbos out of the question?

 

[chry*bmb]

nothing is out of the question yet. I am STILL in my research stage. HOWEVER, I've kinda nailed it down to supercharging it. I originally wanted to twin turbo it, but I had friends that did it, and nothing but issues. Again, that was them, I am my own person. I'm still researching my options

I really like Kenne Bell's though. Don't know why they make me smile so much

aps is hella expensive

KB's are sweet, but sometimes I wish I had gone with a turbo set-up. But I have also heard that the twin turbo kits are even more problematic than the KB's. I think the turbos are also more easily upgradeable.

APS is nice but a large single turbo would be better and have less parts to deal with.

single turbos are where its at

i hear turbonetics might make kits.....for cars

I have just seen that twin turbos are nothing but trouble. This is why I was looking at supercharging it. This APS thing is pretty suhweet too. Thanks for that link as well :wink:

Anyway, don't want to go OT from this topic. Still leaning towards the supercharging.

Go with a procharger.

 

[chry*bmb]

What's the difference between procharger and supercharger?

What's the difference between procharger and supercharger?

the kenne bell is a roots type where it sits on top of the engine; a procharger (name brand) is a centrifugal supercharger which is basically a belt driven turbo. i would guess a centrifugal would be easier to install and i know you can go non-intercooled and upgrade to an intercooler fairly easily.

stop fartin around. put up or shut up bitch.




and oh. seems respond to prochargers pretty well. but i think a kenne bell setup would be sweeeet, cuz its not the norm

Yeah, because of that thread you put, I've been on the mad hunt.

the only thing about the procharger is you need to turn the rpm up to really make power my buddy has a D1 on his mustang and its crazy. you can do alot with it not saying kenne bell isnt thats what iam going to run is a kenne bell on my lightning. it all depends on what your plans are with the motor. if you get a procharger i would spend the money to get a D1 with intercooler dont put a blower on with out one it will save you alot of time in the long run. procharger is in kansas and they make all the stuff in house give them a call and tell them what you want with it and they will get you lined out. as far the kenne bell you cant go wrong with them it really depends how much money you want to spend.
