EricM9104 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 there is a replacement for displacement. supercharging : ) edit: just fyi, turbos are superchargers before anyone says something retarded turbos don't have any drag on the motor since they're exhaust powered, however they do have some lag depending on the turbo size. the spool up of a supercharger is instant since its driven directly by the crankshaft, with a downside of motor drag.... to each their own 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 24k miles Stock H/U and mids/highs Power Acoustik GW3-12" D2 Sub HiFonics BXX1200.1D @ 1ohm Random 2.5^3' dual ported box NVX LOC Stinger wiring throughout 1977 Chevy SWB Cammed 350 Dual exhaust Cheap Wish stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug118 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Superchargers take power away from the engine to make power. Turbos use wasted exhaust gases to make power. 2 totally different things. Don't go around telling people they are the same thing 2001 Tahoe.

YoungBuck Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 So I have thought it all out and I've realized getting a teg or a 240 as a main car is pretty much too impractical for where I live.

YoungBuck Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Last winter we had 3+ feet of snow, I don't want to couped up in a house waiting for the streets to be plowed well enough to take either of those cars out. I'm not saying i never want to get a teg or a 240 but right now as a college student I could afford a winter car and a summer car. PM me for free Photoshop stuff SAMSQUANCH!!!!

doug118 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 very wise decision. my civic didn't do too bad last winter with snow tires BUT the snow liked to pack up in the back of the engine bay and stop my serp belt from spinning my alt leaving me dead at least once a day 2001 Tahoe.

YoungBuck Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yea, though I do have future plans to get one of those cars as a project car someday, maybe after college... PM me for free Photoshop stuff SAMSQUANCH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbos use wasted exhaust gases to make power. 2 totally different things. Don't go around telling people they are the same thing noone said they were the same thing. i said that turbo's where superchargers because they are. turbo's are exhaust driven and superchargers are belt driven. anyone with a brain should know the difference. if they think they're exactly the same they shouldn't even be messing around with the shit apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.
