For all you supercharged guys...

***skinsfn36*** · 07-03-2009, 12:15 PM

So Hopefully this won't get locked as "clutter" I find it to be a pretty solid question that could not only help myself, but others looking to go F/I.

SO with new turbo kits coming out and the advancements in ECU tuning, are you still happy you went with an S/C?

Thanks 2fast4u for the poll!

I just went Stage 2 and I couldn't be happier. I suppose I could of waited and went turbo since we can tune now, but I don't regret my decision.

I just hope this doesn't turn into a supercharger vs. turbo battle. Both have there pro's and cons.

Thanks! This is the kind of response I was looking for.

im 110% satisfied with my SC.

There are times when I wish I could make the great hp/tq #s that a turbo can provide, but i'd quickly get to the point where i need to be seriously worried about the internals, etc. not because turbos are less reliable, but because its easier to increase power on a turbo and i'd get to the point where its 'too much'. the SC helps me keep it in check while still giving me anough of a bump in power to make the car an extreme joy to drive.

fyi - im at stage 1 still

i couldnt make up my mind if i wanted to go sc or turbo..... so i talked myself into ct-e stage2 (so i would have the abilty to keep pushing more bo0st) & couldnt be any happier ... best thing ever for me ... no looking back i think it perfect 4 me & the way i drive its just the right amount of power 4 me. just my 2 cents tho...

I'm turbo, but I would like to see how this thread/poll progresses... very interesting opinions. keep em comin.

EuphoricRhythm · 07-03-2009, 02:48 PM

no regrets on going s/c. the main reason i did go s/c at the time was the tune though. now if i were to do it again at this later date in time, i would probably go turbo.

Yeah, I really want to get everyone's opinion and get a good basis of what the F/I Si owners are thinking right now

I love my supercharger. While it's not the fastest, the linear power band makes for a great DD. I think you also get to a point on fwd cars where more power just becomes pointless. I am about to put a 3.15" pulley on my CT and hopefully that should be a good balance between power and drivability.

vtecmike1 · 07-03-2009, 08:07 PM

pretty much any more power then i already have would be kinda pointless for a DD fwd car. not that i wouldn't mind more power lol. however i am 3000000000% happy with my 3.15inch ct stage 2 car.

***mike_si_29*** · 07-03-2009, 08:36 PM

^^^ agreed. totally satisfied with above setup

hoodeddemon · 07-03-2009, 11:45 PM

I love my Stage 1 ct sc, can't wait to upgrade to stage 2.

RGV-SI- · 07-04-2009, 05:36 AM

I love my JRSC and linear power, but sometimes I think of what it would have been like to have gone with a turbo. Once I get rid of this horrible reflash and get a proper tune, I wont regret going JRSC.

07AlBLKeX305 · 07-04-2009, 06:42 PM

I havent done nothing to my engine yet and was wondering the difference between s/c and turbo. please if anyone can pm me and break it down for me. thanks in advance.
