You have got to be kidding me...... A blower gives boost depending on how fast you have it set to turn, thats why different size pulleys are used. Smaller pully=SC turning faster=more boost.


Really I didn't know that. Still not full boost.

Its all in the design.

I have 2 mechanics here right now laughing at this post, total experience in building performance V8s is about 30 years. Guess you know more than they do. I had to tell them to see this post cause I knew they would get a kick out of it. I guess my experience building 2 SC motors are a mute point here, too

Get this straignt- An engine can have equal output whether SCed or turbo charged..ITS ALL IN THE DESIGN.


Wow, that's same great info. So they have experience with V8s, what were we discussing here? Umm 4cyls,, wow how relevant. No **** an engine can have equal output, but I GUARANTEE, the engine in discussion is more able to use HIGH power made by a GOOD turbo design than a GOOD supercharger design.

But since you're so great at this stuff, I wish we could get someone to fund a little project for us, to see who can get the most power outta a zetec, you with a supercharger, me with a turbo....

All hail the boost god.............Kremit
