supercharged Z31
 

ok, i found a video on youtube of a supercharged Z31 but i can't find anything on it to save my life (given i'm not very handy with a computer). anybody know anything or heard of anyone supercharging their Z31?

P.S. it's a centrifugal. possibly a vortech or procharger.

it's not all that common of a job because a turbo is a lot more effective, so there won't be a whole lot of support that you can find for it.

lol did you JUST make up that statistic? and what bassis does the "more effective" statement work off of?

yeah i made it up. you can't argue that the turbo is not vastly superior.

its not superior. though i prefer it. its more effecient in HP gain over HP stolen. but it doesnt make the poewr as instantly or as low int he RPM range as a super charger. every thing has an up and a down. honestly if your track racing on small tracks and auto X go S/C otherwise turbo will probably be better for all other applications.

Better Yet...
 

Use the boost of a S/C until the turbo spools... Yee Haw!!!:icon_super:

^^^^ that's the one. if you're ambitious!

yeah, i was thinking something along the lines of sc plus turbo.

not use to searching forums, my bad

super charger and turbo is a very complicated setup to get done right. also, not worth it in the end result unless you do some very fancy engineering using like electronic clutch on the S/C pulley to disengage once the turbo spools.

works on cobras lol

come again?

cobras (mustang or factory five i guess) have ford V-8's, that occasionally get turbo and sc set ups.

yeah...you really don't know what a cobra is dude? c'mon lol but seriously, i've seen alot of european cars with that type of setup too.

cobra is gerneal we talking shelby/AC cobra mustang cobra where the newest get supercharged very very few people to a supercharger and turbo charger for good reason. one or the other. when i said come again its because it seemed you were referring to a mustang cobra a supercharged car so thats my bassis as a supercharged and turbo car.... which it isnt. theres been like one ever production car with that as far as i can think of. anyways.... stick with the turbo save LOTS OF TIME AND MONEY and make more power.

cause it's superior?

in this case yes, not always though

A while back I saw a website where someone documented their build of a white Z31 with a supercharger and turbo. It was done well. I think the license plate was BEATMYZ

I found the page. Its really old... the owner is certainly not a web designer :)

that's actually the first time that i've seen one with z32 wheels. looks pretty good.

wtf? he never showed the engine IN the car.

Like those TwinCharger Volkswagens?

yeah, pretty much. i've seen a m3 with both too

why dont you just turbo a VG33ER, half the work is already done for you

i don't like roots type superchargers, centrifugals are sooo much better. and i want to keep the stock engine in her.

centrifugal S/C lag like turbo's dude... they are a waste. not AS bad of lag but they dont boost as quikly as roots but are a bit more efficient and create less heat i believe.
