has anyone ever supercharged a 20v?

is it possible to do?

i was just wondering how i coiuld get some more power without goin turbo
thanks guys

yes, and yes.

iv even heard of ppl sticking a sc12 on a stock silvertop with an aftermarket ecu.

the difference between the work of a turbo and a s/c version wont be much.... you still ahve to custom make a manifold, mounts and piping.
you will still need to upgrade injectors and the ecu.

however in certain applications i reckon a s/c one is better than a turbo

for a start it gives you a bit of a bottom end if thats what you're lacking.

But you'll sacrifice the topend for said bottom end...

Around town and on a nice tight road... win for the SC.

i wouldnt say sacrifice....

Yeah but don't get that Turbo Spoolage that sound's soooooooo good and with the right Turbo Application you won't drop that much bottom end/lag..

hell if your gona go to the trouble of supercharging a 20v, why not just get a sc14, and you wouldn't lack as much topend as a sc12.

food for thought anyway

who cares about sound! torque is everything

thats what i love so much about my s/c it has throttle response that no turbo can match, ie touch gas, bang there it is

nothing at all wrong with turbos if set up right, i just prefer the characteristics of the s/c. and imo they suit my aw11 better than a turbo ever will

Yeah because you don't want to go FAST :lol:

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:42 am

ah but i do. and for my application low/midrange torque is far far more important than top end hp. and so is drivibility

by **Chickenman** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:44 am

It's alright Warwick, I agree with you.

by **EVL GSXR** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 10:46 am

Ha ha ha 4AGZE's don't go fast unless they have a turbo hanging off them :lol:

You can have a Turbo and have perfect Drivabilty :wink:

hey each to their own, i know what i prefer and what will best suit my plans.
which is sprints and hillclimbs in a midengine car..... that has a reputation for tailhappyness.

if i was planing on track work where top end hp is important, then id lookat turbo, but im not, so i wont.

Gotta LOOOOOOVE those opinionated facts

i know this is about two weeks old... but my sc14 on my gze sounds a whole lot tougher than the older sc12 did. Charger whine is the best!
