FI. I've asked this before but I'm stumped

energiesource · October 29th, 2007, 03:07 AM

I don't know whether to go with a KB supercharger or a twin turbo setup. One day I want one the other day i want the other. I cant afford either at the moment, nor forged internals but i like to plan things out before i get them so pros and cons of each please? and where do both get most of the power in the rpm range?

mustangmanic · October 29th, 2007, 07:41 AM

with a kb, you'll have power at all times, it tends to taper off a bit in the very high rpms (5000+) and with a turbo you'll have extreme power 3500+ really dependes on wat setup you have though. The bigger the turbo, the longer the boost will take to spool up, the smaller, the quicker.

refer to me and turbos write up in the v6 section
It should help

2000stangGT · October 29th, 2007, 12:42 PM

depends on your goals and usage of the car.

if its going to be a DD then kb is probably better

if its going to be a summer leisure car id go with TT

energiesource · October 29th, 2007, 12:48 PM

Yeah its definitely going to be a dd.

B0B · October 29th, 2007, 01:03 PM

actually, twin turbos will be more driveable than a KB.

04GTAMPA · October 29th, 2007, 01:11 PM

They will both be DD, but KB will be more fun.

energiesource · October 29th, 2007, 01:13 PM

well the turbos i thought had more maintenance and them being positioned right behind the front bumper, it seems like a pain in the ass to access to.

04GTAMPA · October 29th, 2007, 01:18 PM

They offset with more power and better performance over the KB. Can't win them all.

2000stangGT · October 29th, 2007, 03:18 PM

ya tampa said it best, theres give an take, depends what you want it for and when your want power. and sound preference

Dawgfude03GT · October 29th, 2007, 06:47 PM

kb bro!

Dawgfude03GT · October 29th, 2007, 06:50 PM

your car can only handle so much on stock internals and what not so you might as well save yourself 2grand and get the KB. I have the same issue I change my mind day to day but me being a broke muh fuggah 2 grand is 2 grand.. Plus from what I hear from asking around the shops and even the guy who sells HP TT's if not kept up properly can be a huge pain in the @$$

energiesource · October 29th, 2007, 06:58 PM

yeah id probably only be able to run the turbo at 7 psi but on a stock motor id still run the same hp / tq usually so in that sense it really doesnt make a difference, i love the whine of a sc, but the blow off valve of a turbo

yojoe600 · October 29th, 2007, 07:07 PM

well then get the kb and but one of those fake blow off valve kits in for the sound lol....
