supercharged and turbo charged power are completely different dude, a supercharger gives you power when you hit the gas pedal, turbos take a second. for example trying to do burnouts and donuts from a stop in an FD are a bit of a pain in the ass because there is NO torque at 2000rpm. in a supercharged engine you just press the pedal and it comes on hard.
you dont know shit. turbos run off exhaust not intake. and superchargers run of the engine cranckshaft not cams. dont mean to just pick on you but everyone on here needs to reseach b4 they say anything cause then you start giving others that dont know bad info.
you are wrong there.. a turbo runs on exhaust gasses.. it takes time for fuel to burn and turn into exhausts.. the exhausts of the car propell a fan thats driven by the turbo.. hence the lag..
I hate to be this blunt, but you guys are stupid. Lag and spool time are not the same. Furthermore a properly configured turbo like MM's GT3071R with custom trims can reach 12 psi by 2,800 rpm with a boost controller. If you have ever driven a RX-8, even in 6th gear on the highway you'll be cruising at 4,000 rpm or so. It's difficult to be under 2k unless you're at idle. So the lag you're complaining about is virtually non existent.
my question to you bro is which is safer on the engine? I know a properly tuned and configured turbo will last and yield more power but which will last longer?
Ok I see what you mean and it makes sense. In that case it seems better to turbo as its cheaper for HP gain over the SC. 7000 for 80HP gain is a bit steep. I like the setup on your RX8 but I I wouldn't need that much power for everyday. I would be happy to get 270 -300RWHP. What's the best TC in your opinion?

i agree with paradoxbox1, they r very different.
superchargers dont lag like turbo [turbo-lag].
superchargers r run with the engines camshaft.
unlike turbos, the engine has to suck enough air for the turbo to spin which takes a few seconds= 'turbo-lag'.

@drift300zx This is true, rotories dont even have cams, they have ports.

genocyde83 2 years ago
An engine will wear out no matter what you do. If you run more power, it will wear out faster. There is no way to avoid that.
But by the same token, you can lower the boost on a turbo setup to make less power if you wanted to, so it isn't really a positive for the SC.

Niether is safe. With FI, there is always risk of blowing the engine. Don't get it if you can't afford to lose.
h2h2h2h2 2 years ago
Yes. The dif: SC will have it at Any RPM even the low-end and Turb will kick in around 3,000rpm and up for high-end.

I never know SC give low end Torques for rotarys. got hp?

Pettit FTW! I got the to drive this car. You can fell it kick in at 1,000 rpm and pull all the way up.
Gilbo702 4 years ago
so it dose give lower end torque than?

Sweet!
I might go with the Axial Flow SC if Cobb ever finishes the ECU
