Thread: Twin charge, Turbo, or build up the Super charger?

depends how fast you want to go. decide that, then recommendations are easier to give.

Get a ported/polished s/c and go with the twincharge setup from ZZP, with the ball-bearing T76, along with all the other supporting mods, get it tuned, and go really damn fast...

then again....theres really no need for that kind of power....but it's still fun.

IMHO...it's easiest to just build up the S/C.

i say go with the sts and tt it no real reason other then it would be cool as hell to see

Well if on a budget, and you still want plenty of power, get a cam, heads, headers, full stack intercooler, tiny ass pulley, Dyno tune, injectors...etc.

If you can get a shop to do your heads, and find a good price on an IC, it really shouldnt cost a whole lot. Plus it'd still be upgradeable.

its an expensive addiction
One of these day i wanna sts turbo a grand prix or my crown vic

Haha Yeah, I know how that goes..
But if you plan accordingly, IE keeping the modding safe (new heads and timing chain before a wild Cam) you'll be fine.

I'm running a 3.4 pulley atm with 0 knock, so obviously I dont need an IC atm. Money would be better spent on heads.

You know your budget, better to spend it wisely than to blow it all away on a ****ing CAI....*I did that...*

what the hell, i posted in this thread yesterday....

all i said is that an m90 build is the cheapest, most reliable, and most easily streetable setup you can have. if youre not planning on making as much power as possible then stick with the blower.

z7 kit

Does anyone on here have a STS Turbo setup

s1x,xp both good with stock heads
and stock timing chains for the most part

but like said above if you want cheap power find a used n2o kit

If you wanna build up cam it easiest and cheapest things

N2O can make you giggle, but I personally wouldnt run it in my car, simply because I'd rather have the power all the time. I think you'd do best to get a ported LIM, heads and Cam....

then sell the car and buy something fast....

XD, your mods are almost the same as mine.

you honestly dont know enough about what you want with your car if you cant decide between a blower setup or a turbo setup (let alone both together). seriously, figure that out and then we can tell you where to go. of course you want more power than your current 3.4 setup because your car is still slow at that point in comparison to what you could do.

goals FIRST, then recommendations. if you drive this car everyday you do not want 280+ whp. if you do then you bought the wrong car to start with.

Unless you really know what the hell your doing and are comfortable with a tuner then it's feasible.

No one really runs a sts style kit/rear mount turbo on these cars because it's a lot more $ and there is hardly any room to run the piping under the car as well as running a separate oil system because the turbo is sitting too low.

If you really want to, look into a Z3 turbo kit and a a/a intercooler and i would stop right there. Anything past that and your looking at a lot of trans work and reliability issues. Just a base turbo kit on these cars is enough to keep you happy and easily run some good times.
