PURVIE Sexy Member Donating Members 524 Member For: 17y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: Berwick, VIC Posted 11/01/08 01:25 AM Share Posted 11/01/08 01:25 AM (edited) Yeah I really dont think a supercharged 6 is anything flash. I always wondered how a stock supercharged 6 would come up against a stock turbo 6, I always assumed it would be close, Definitely not. Look at the 2003+ Expensive Daewoo VY supercharged models, absolutely sh*thouse. 171 kW @ 5200 rpm. A 2002 BA XR6T would eat it alive. They have no street credit either, simply because they have minimal potential. A turbocharged 6 would slam a Supercharged 6 at equal power IMO.

sargo Member 107 Member For: 17y 7m 11d Location: Brisneyland Posted 11/01/08 01:27 AM Share Posted 11/01/08 01:27 AM Just had a squiz at the Capa site and at the dyno sheet they have for the base supercharger kit. The dyno sheet quotes 227RWKW. Since when did that equate to 305 FWKW. Holy crap, my 270RWKW means I must be sitting on a 362FWKW motor. Me thinks NOT....

South Member 323 Member For: 17y 6m 25d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 11/01/08 05:57 AM Share Posted 11/01/08 05:57 AM Not a necessity but a f*cking good idea to have, what sort car do you drive mate? It's not a cordia is it?Is that your best retort? Quick I better now or you might look like a muppetFYI, my toy is a 05 BA MKII XR6t... but I don't feel it necessary to advertise my car, especially when its competing against 'interestingly' transformed vehicles like your :RBSIGN: I hope you are able to gather a better understanding of supercharged cars so that your 'knowledge base' of automotives is expanded upon.Why are people comparing a sloppy 3.8L supercharged buick donk to a 4.0L supercharged ford donk? they are in totally different leagues! AMG supercharge the merc's, Jaguar supercharger their cars, Land Rover supercharge their cars... VW supercharge and turbo their cars at the same time (Golf Sport for those scratching their heads)...I bought an XR6t as its smooth easy power, I'd much rather a supercharged V8 but you cannot buy that in the 40k realm without compramising on the quality of the base car.

I'm not the only one dissagreeing with. I know there are plenty of good supercharged sixes on the market I'm just saying IMO I think it is a dumb idea for a BA Futura that's all. And 5k+ for 227rwkw.....Pass Edited 11/01/08 06:26 AM by XRTPSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A standard 300kw GTS Commodore (Callaway LS1) usually pull 220-230rwkw. A standard 290 BOSS around 220-230rwkw. I'd say 305kw is a pretty fair claim.And I'd agree your 270rwkw equals roughly 360fwkw.

I have seen more Eseries with turbos over superchargers that says something to me... I don't think I would supercharge mine unless I had internals changed anyway, wouldn't be worth it otherwise...would it?

IMO a waste of time.. Easier to make something fairly quick, quicker than something with no balls.. Found that out the hard way on my first car... A VS V6 for those playing at home...

Now that was a sexy V8!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
