supercharger vs turbocharger

v606er · April 15th, 2008, 10:03 PM

Should I get a turbo or super for my v6 2006? Please give name brands and pros vs cons. Thanks

Onemanzu · April 15th, 2008, 10:04 PM

turbo is more efficent... IMO better to use/work with

GreenFaleen · April 15th, 2008, 10:05 PM

depends on your budget, S/C is cheaper turbo grants more power. S/C makes boost off a pulley turning something to compress the air turbo make power from pressurized exhaust gas.

I am not looking to spend more than 5k.

GreenFaleen · April 15th, 2008, 10:11 PM

go with a s/c system procharger IMO at 7psi and get t-lok and 3.73's for your rear end you'll be good to go

v606er · April 15th, 2008, 10:21 PM

ive heard the 4.10 is good for the '06 v6. what good about the 3.73?

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:22 PM

3.73 is the highest you want to go if you are using a supercharger. 4.10 is good for n/a

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:23 PM

do you have an auto or manual tranny?

v606er · April 15th, 2008, 10:24 PM

its auto. and i plan on super charging it.

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:24 PM

then you want 3.73

v606er · April 15th, 2008, 10:24 PM

is it possible to get too much power from a super and possible damage a 4.0L v6?

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:25 PM

it depends the psi you will be running. 7-11 psi with intercooler should be fine. 9 non-intercooled will be fine

v606er · April 15th, 2008, 10:28 PM

what brand super do u recommend? ...same for intercooler?

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:30 PM

depends on if you want a roots/twin screw supercharger or a centrifugal supercharger

roots/twin screw gives max boost at approx 3000-3500 rpm
centri starts giving boost at approx 2500-3000 rpm

centri normally are more efficient, but roots/twin screw is power on tap very useful for daily driving

GreenFaleen · April 15th, 2008, 10:34 PM

if you have an 05+ xcharger hands down such and easy system and comes with a tune and everything

v606er · April 15th, 2008, 10:34 PM

i want to get power at low rpms... so centri sounds right for me. Will it continue giving extra power at high rpms also?

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:35 PM

power at low rpms would be the roots/twin screw.. you will have max boost at 3000-3500 rpm

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:35 PM

xcharger as gf said would be the choice for you

GreenFaleen · April 15th, 2008, 10:37 PM

Explorer Express- Ford Ranger - Ford Explorer - Ford Mustang Performance

thats what you need man

Ninjawafers! · April 15th, 2008, 10:40 PM
