More boost turbo

supercharger has a more smoother power delivery

great lot of advice that mate . why the close thread at the end im after more advice than what you have just said

[Mystic]

He did answer your 2 questions to be fair.

Have a read through here mate, excellent discussion on pros & cons of s/c or turbo

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=293691

[raunchz]

It's such a large topic and debate as to which one to go for, I just gave you a simple answer.

The GMC supercharger thread is a great read !

[maddison_vts]

this question is getting very boring, every other day there is a thread on this hence you got a short answer. try searching next time and you'll find pages upon pages of threads saying 'turbo, supercharger or itb's'


anyway, as said;

turbo = more boost and more fun imo

supercharger = more linear power delivery which means it will be more gentle on transmission and will put the power down better.

as your other thread states, if you do have £6k to spend, go turbo - as im sure you'd see allot more power out of a turbo with that budget, and you can cruise around and instead of the whining you can go ppsssstt lol, turn peoples head's knowing its a turbo sax when your doing a run through the high street, not going flat out to let people know you have power.

[saxo-dan]

defo the turbo, they sound much better!

im edging to the turbo side . just not sure as iv seen so many people start a turbo project and then scrap it . i was going to fit 206 180 lump at first but once id priced eveythin that id need it was in ecess of 10k . so think ill just go turbo vts and then with the money i have left ill build my super 1400 106 progress threads will be starting soon hopefully

[AXracing]

A nice centrifugal supercharger will allow you to run the most boost with out destroying everything. They also have a very usable power delivery and so is great for the track.

Can someone give me the £6000 shopping list please and relate it to a power output??

Every thread someone says it costs £6k and I *literally* can't spend that much money... :( Maybe I need a bigger imagination.

(not a dig mate, it's said a LOT)

Kind regards

6k is just what iv put to one side for engine incase sumthing goes wrong while building. the last thing you want is to spend all your money and then sumthing brake. youd be quite pissed off . im actually only looking to spend about £4500 on turbo conversion. then i can spend the rest on a super 1400 106 i also want to build

wpmnah! this is an abbriviation on a local forum i use and it applys to soo many threads on saxp lol.

go charged, why would you need loads of power if you cant use it? unless the only reason you want big bhp so you can compare the size of your dick in mcgash's car park.

you dont need over 200bhp in a sub 1000kg car, it just doesnt work through the front wheels...(without spending stupid money)

the car isnt for road use mate it to put aganst my mates corsa turbo and cossi as he thinks a saxo/106 will never keep up . when iv beat his cars ill then go onto bigger things . the way i see it is that if youv got lots of power you can always tone it down a little but if youv not got it you cant use it . blower could still be the answer that what this is all about lol

[iw_laurence]

hmm, so you will be tracking it? or drag race?

this is the whole point of going s/c --you can use over 200 @ wheels very easily ,because of the way it is delivered ,even 250 @wheels is still usable on a twisty road or track.
if someone wants to do spme seaching on u-tube they will find in car footage from s/c cars on track ,but i have seen no convincing turbo footage --

[moxy89]

So you are spending 6 k to prove a point to a friend

One word loser why waste 6k if you want to move onto bigger better things.like you said above. Mate save it if you want to move on as you won't see half of it back

i was going to do i anyway my mate just made me want to do it even more . and will be building to keep dont see the point in spending all that time building somthing you shoud love and then selling it for loss.

you mynt be having a phone call soon mate . a quick one tho wat the biggest size s/c that i could run on my vts

[axsaxoman]

It is not like turbo tuning you don,t just keep uping the boost --it is not the right way to do it.
you decie what bhp + at what rpm ,that will decide engine spec

ok always wanted around the 400 bhp wich is why i was looking a turbos as iv been told you can get the power much easyer . but now theres that meny people saying so many diffrent things it get you confused in wats wat . im now puzzled lol

[iw_laurence]

yeah 400bhp saxo for the win

your dreaming

[quickpug]

ye ok , why am i dreaming

[iw_laurence]

start up a progress thread then bud, ill keep an eye on it. if you get it to 400bhp in the next 2 years i will buy and send you a crate of beer.

wpmnah

[Cammy]

Well, GMC is the people you need to speak to (posted abouve you) they will tell you what option's are to get that power, imo you can supercharge it which people say is smoother delivery of power (im guessing its distributed all over the revs) id personally go for turbo

[Cammy]

i concur sir, if you look at the at-speed, on this forum i beleive one of their 106's are running mid 400's ;) it is acheivable, just takes allot of work and money (which i think none of us on here have as it goes on crisps and women :wall:)

im not saying it cant be done. im saying he wont do it.

well i dont drink much i dont eat crisp and iv been wi my missis for 5 years now and i keep my money and she keeps hers . apart frop see somtimes nicks some of myne when the sax breaks down lol . but other than that ill have around 9k this year spare to spend on my car .

Crisps and women hahaha, so true

how can you say sombody wont do somthing when you dont know them . i take it you couldnt do it and thats why your sitting there trying to dis other people who realy are going to do it .

[iw_laurence]

i have never aspired to have 400bhp in a front wheel drive car. 130's fine for me ;)

and im only sitting here saying this so you dont waste this money you have, if you have £9k to spend on a car why are you looking at saxos? buy an M3/evo/scoob and have 400 usuable bhp...

you see a subaru and an evo eveyday but how often do you see a 400bhp saxo/106

[iw_laurence]

and also lol at your other thread. ok, if you can do it. give me a list of all the bits you will be using/upgrading?

there is a reason you dont see them...

[maddison_vts]

how can you say sombody wont do somthing when you dont know them . i take it you couldnt do it and thats why your sitting there trying to dis other people who realy are going to do it .

because of the amount of people saying 'yeah mate, i want 400bhp' it gets very boring when you never see anything come to light of it.

if someone were to come on here saying they were building a 400bhp saxo and they KNEW what they were talking about, people may take them a little more seriously. However, no offence, but you don't have much of an idea otherwise you wouldn't have asked the questions you did so as far as most people are concerned your just another dreamer.

sorry to put it blunt, but thats why people are saying you won't do anything. If you do, good luck. but you'll need quite a bit more than 6k or even 9k for 400bhp especially if you don't do the work yourself.

[maddison_vts]

you see a subaru and an evo eveyday but how often do you see a 400bhp saxo/106

almost never because with that power its

a. a waste of time
b. a waste of money
c. a waste of effort
d. not that quick unless you pour insane money into transmission and fancy boost control.

the work will be done by me and a friend. the only outside work will be geting it set up. progress thread wont be long from starting i already have car and engine and many other parts

[iw_laurence]

list up your desired spec then...

[maddison_vts]

you can't have that many parts if you don't even know what charger or turbo to fit to it.

i was already assuming you had the car with a healthy engine...

id already been looking at wat i wanted i was just after sum advice to wat a vts engine could handle . but i now no sax p is a tatal waste of time . wats the point in having owners club when all the people on it are dicks

mod please close thread

[maddison_vts]

you never asked what a vts engine could handle???? you've just been banging on about your soon to be 400bhp saxo and then got in a strop when nobody beleives you.

and i don't beleive i've been a dick to you once.

The first two replies to this thread both answered your questions and pointed you towards a pool of knowledge! What more could you want for your awesome FROJECT?

Look/Cover/Write/Check was an awesome thing back in primary school.

[Manu]

For the prices of parts and ultimately, the cost of insurance ? I'd buy an Evo and spend the rest on a college course, something like a BTEC in grammar and spelling. But you can spell turbo properly which is quite a good start.:y:

but i now no sax p is a tatal waste of time

Laters.

ye and taking the piss out of somone who cant spell properly is realy grown up isnt it you fucking prick.

[iw_laurence]

Oh grow up! I thought you wern't posting anymore?

[Manu]

use the spellchecker you illiterate dummy.

[adzvtr]

both turbo and supercharger will see good gains,
for turbo power of your proposed power check out atpower and dp engineering,

for charging look no other than gmc they will put you in the desired directions, and give you plenty of advice,
400bhp is possible with both, but at a lot of expense,
as the standard gearbox, shafts will last you no time at all.
good luck on this if your genuinly going for it.

[PETE-VTR]

i hope you have VERY deep pockets for 400BHP

where the hell did you pluck 400bhp from?

horsepower turns heads, torque turns wheels;)
