ok, since the recent talks of supercharger groupbuys and what-have-yous came about, i have a few questions about them. and, just cause im asking these dont mean im looking to do it, or anything like that, just questions that have been bothering me : 1. are there different kinds of superchargers?(like turbos, different power ratings? etc?) and if so, how would you know which one to get?
Yes. Roots, Eaton, etc.. do your research... buy a book.. read magazine articles. Either one has its own benefit and drawbacks. 2. everybody seems to think 2-4psi is the most you could get on an na's stock internals. how do they know this? how do you know the max psi you could safely run? i dont want answers like "well, SC2+2 has one and he only runs 3psi max" is there a special way to determine when the psi is up to high (go till detonation i guess, then turn it down some, but wouldnt it be a little too late then?)?
you can get more boost than that. The limiting factor is the NA compression. Use TT pistons or a thicker head gasket to drop the compression. Larger injectors should be used if you plan on doing more than 2-4 psi. 3. when people say the a/c must come out, does that mean the actual a/c (dehumidifying part) or just the cold air? what would happen if you put the a/c to, say, 65 degrees or less? would it just blow air?
the AC pulley is where the SC pulley goes; you can leave the other parts in there but if you want to save weight pull that stuff out.
Later,
Phuong
