12207, SUPERCHARGER WTF??
Posted by 1phat_talon, Dec-15-01 05:34 PM
Does anyone know if anyone made a supercharger for our 420a yet? It seems like there is a SC kit for every other 4cyl, out there.

There has been 1 known person that has supercharged an eclipse/talon. Nobody makes kits and it would be a hell of a lot of money to get a custom kit put on.

Kory (up above) fooled a few 2gnt'ers into thinking he made a supercharger kit. (Its a joke around here now when someone brings up a supercharger question) :)

Superchargers aren't that great for our cars from what i understand (i may be wrong) due to the power loss caused by having to turn the SC. We have better low end than most cars, but having to spin up a SC will drag it down, so the gains are mostly negated.

it's cheaper to buy a turbo anyway. Loads of low end just make for worse traction issues when you're FWD anyway.

why would you want to run a supercharger anyways? They dont put out anywhere near the amount of power as a turbocharger. I think I saw a Type-R on hondastyle.com with a MASSIVE amount of mods and a Jackson Racing supercharger. It had mods like Brad does (super20g). And a dyno posted at 236hp and like 166ft.lb. torque. LOL id cry if I spent $3000.00 on something for those kinds of gains.

it's easier to upgrade a turbo also :)

superchargers have no lag from what I understand. But turbo is better. Why u wanna be a honduh anyways. Fugga sc, let them have it.

I have a HRC stage II already (just got it last wed. and havent installed yet) My cousin has a 1st gen and wanted to know cuz he just wants to be different. I'm not a pro but I know a thing or two about boost and wouldnt bother my own car with an SC but he doesnt listen to me so I'll just tell him a honda SC will fit or something like that.:7 :7 :7

hmm...supercharger is belt driven. How possible would it be to have a supercharger and a turbocharger on the same engine. Would it be? And earlier today I saw the engine of my dads F150 truck. Its like its made for a twin turbo. It has 2 inlets to the intake manifold. I already made plains to get the engine when it dies. I wanna TT it. =))) Its perfect for a twin turbo. I also have a old truck sitting at my house to put the engine in. it will be a GREAT project truck. Wish me luck. woOt.

Ya know ya probably could put both on a 420a but then you would have to have super duper internal parts made from kryptonite, and instead of fuel injectors you could use 4 garden hose nozzles, hell dont even use gas...just NOS.

Jest playin man. Seriously I think it would do more harm than good.

I never thought it was possible until I saw the Meguairs Integra, and HKS I believe has done it. They are making 400hp on pump gas with a massive power band and it looks wicked. If I could I would love to myself.

HKS made a twin charger kit in 88 89 for the supercharged mr2 it worked pretty well but was very expensive and they didn't sell many kits there are probably none left if any
