7a supercharger?? Options

[robman5]

hey everyone, ive been driving for a month and the 7a is already making me yawwn....the engine has 110xxx, so thats probally way to high to turbo w/o having a ton of problems with reliability...im too poor to engine swap...so is a supercharger a possibility at all?i just read in a post they dont add engine stress, im just looking for more proformance boost then wasting my money in bolt on's thanks.

-well i don't wanna make fun of your engine (cause i have the same one), but 7afe is like one of the worst Toyota engines that they put on the market... -first of all before you do any kind of BOOST (turbo, supercharger, nos), I would have some import shop rebuilt the engine, just changing the internals it shouldn't go more then $800...and it will feel brand spankin new engine.... -the best option after you get the engine rebuilt is NOS, ...WHY>???....you might ask... well its "cheap" (best hp per $ ----- 50 horsepower for about $500) and its not always ON like turbo/supercharger, you only use it when you need it ( so if some honda "got rice" moron is talking ****, then you turn it on....and magic....spank his ass....) -second option would be a turbo w/intercooler and custome piping (cost you around $2,500), but then you are always gonna add some parts cause you are never gonna get the right pressure/boost levels bla bla bla so then you are gonna be adding $1,000 in small **** like better wastegate, blow-off valve, turbo timer and stupid **** that doesn't add hp) -and third option is no option at all - "custom SUPERCHARGER" , no way superchargers are belt driven so unless the engineer that made the 7afe is doing it - i would stay away from it - DON't even think about custom one without $5,000....stay away from supercharger ok enough talking for tonight,,,,, GOT BOOST?

funny, those are the reasons why i dont like nitrous. it may not be always on, but even for the few seconds it is on, it is very damaging without internals made to withstand the *sudden* increase in power.\

and with turbos, at cruising, they hardly cause stress, infact, it is actually easier on the engine. it is when you press the pedal down hard that is adds stress and even then, it isnt sudden like nitrous.

but i agree on the SC though, sure it would be cool to have and they do put less stress on the engine but they are less efficient and where a different trubo is made for every size engine, SC's are not meant for a wide variety of engines. use the 4agze SC on the 7afe and it wont make much boost(the engine is bigger and the SC has to work harder to fill the extra volume) sure the power is instant, but isnt the ability to turn up the power by the turning of a screw while having it come 1 second later much better? if you get a bigger SC, it will take more power from the 7a to turn it, causing even lower efficiency.

and what everyone has said about the cost is right, it will cost way more than a turbo setup despit all the little **** that doesnt add hp but increases turbo life and engine life.

besides, imo, i think SC's should be left to the bigger engines. just put on a turbo, the exhaust gas is goin out anyway, why not put it to a good use? with an SC it takes power to make power.
