Have seen/heard of an rs25 gc8 in the us of a with a supercharger.

I think it\'s a terrible idea when you can build a turbo setup suited to your application for way less money.

Hmmm no I don\'t know anyone with a supercharger setup. It would be for the lulz, but nothing more.

EDIT - It wouldn\'t be that guy who had the BC5 saying that turbos aren\'t the only way to make power and his was mechanically tuned? I can\'t remember the name but this might have been around a year ago

It was definitely on here I remember it. Wasnt hard to work out it was the same setup.

It is a mate of mine and it is currently in the works

He needs to lower his expectations but it will be interesting to see the results. The kit came off a white TS-R sedan up North which apparently went quite well

[Drunkenmonkey]

Yup it did go well I went for a ride in it and thought it was pretty cool,was deceiving having it

[lachlan]

for the price of it all i bet a standard 94 gt auto that you can buy for $1000 will piss all over it

but that kinda attitude gets you no where

see if it was a back yard kinda setup and fitted on the engine a whole lot better/ easier then go for it . but it is a giant step backwards on a subaru

those roots BLOWERS are like 55 % efficient at best

[tydon]

so even though a turbo charger setup would be cheaper than having a supercharger do u think you could get as much power out of a supercharger as a turbo? or faster?

ive talked to a few holden guys who say a supecharger is better than a turbo cause u get no lag?

then again could you have both?

[lachlan]

do some reading on the net man . it doesnt need to be discussed (argued about ) on here

they all have their pros and cons

also there are 3(main) types of superchargers to discuss too

how many oem and race cars have turbos compared to superchargers . nuff said .

ps top fuel drag only uses superchargers because the rules say they have to

[Drunkenmonkey]

Let\'s just say I preferred it over a twin turbo setup

A friend of a friend has one on a SOHC 1800cc locally I have been told. Yet to see it but when described to me "Hilarious" was the word used.

Still thinking on supercharging the brumby only cause I can and would look more "old school" if I can do it the way I want to( carby up thru bonnet)
