Dilema ..... turbo

[Antony]

right then guys, heres your chance to make a decision for me...



should i

A:
turbo charge my car, i have HKS manifold, T2 and T25 turbo's (both a bit nakered to be honest), E-manage ECU, Intercooler (off Davey-c's car), and thats about it at the minute, appart from brakes and stuff...


B:
go naturaly aspirated for a while with a janspeed manifold, then Supercharge it with a "custom" charger , keeping the manifold on.....



C:
just go balls out N/A with Lower CR, Ported head, Light weight flywheel, ETC...


your input is appreciated..... and i dont want this to be a slagginf match for na vs turbo vs supercharged either....

and pics will follow shortly after i have cleaned her up a bit..... cos no one has seen this car since ive been modifying it...... lol its sporting black 5 spoke wheels that will make you sex wee, Full Nismo "R-tune" graphics, its getting lowered as soon as 59bhp takes the shocks and springs off his car, its been de-sripped, boot handle is colour coded, grill is open mouth, and the good old Raceworx " i put a black strip of vynl in the bottom right hand corner of my bonnet" thig is going on too...lol

im in the middle of putting the Pulsar stuff on, (again when 59bhp takes em off) so it is looking quite the "jap street racer" at the minute, but will only get better...:grinning:

Turbo every time, ONLY if you are able to do it properly. BTW if you went all out NA you would raise compression not lower it.

 

[Antony]

oops.... thats what i meant..lol

well your doing it (well mapping it anyway) so i suspect so..lol im using mostly parts that have come off previously turbo's micras...... but the most challenging bit is gonna be getting a working turbo cos at the mo i have a T2 and a T25 that are no good and they cost me a total of £195....... so i might flog em on ebay or use the T25 with a re-build kit.... not sure yet..... im gonna wait till about september time before i buy more stuff, (got a holliday to pay for) but i allways like to plan ahead. and with me having so many turbo parts allready available to me...... i may go turbo'd.....

even if its nothing but 5psi for shizz and giggles..... litteraly Ptshizzzz

thanks ED

Turbo as you have the kit already and will bring a big smile to your face once its done

 

[djlee_dj]

wat pulsar stuff you putting on mate ?

i actually like that vinal corner ... whats that all about ?

think il do mine , lol

 

[Type-R]

if i did everything again i would turbo over supercharger as theres more potential to go a few stages up later on if you want, also turbo power being dumped all at once is more fun that constant power.

 

[scottish-sr]

Turbo definately. After being in Stephen - now Kristians - turbo K11 I definately want one, just puts a smile to your face everytime and proves it can be done on a budget too.

C:
just go balls out N/A with Lower CR, Ported head, Light weight flywheel, ETC...

and supercharge!

 

[K11SS]

i say turbo .... although im biest and i agree with sunny turbo over supercharger ... more fun to feel the boost come on then it being there always, if its there all the time it feels like an NA... jus boosted if u get wat i mean ?

so i say turbo

the torque from a turbo will make the micra with the right suspension a mean machine

n/a is all screaming, turbo is where the true power is at

turbo all the way imo
