why not on a 6 port engine? i was thinking about leaving my 6port, getting it ported and the rotors beveled and turbo-ing it withought the whole t2 swap...

No I wasnt saying no tto boost a 6 port, I said you cant crank the boost like you can a 4 port, well its not like you cant, but 4 ports were designed for boost. You know what I ******* mean......

I hate the sound of superchargers. Other than that, I like both of them!



But I'm still a turbo man at heart. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Turbo for the simple fact that it would be cheaper and easier to do, because it doesn't sound like you have the budget.



Plan on spending $2500 on turboing the N/A motor or Turbo engine swap. You may not need all that money, but its nice to have some extra padding incase you need to get new tools and such.

Id like to slap a supercharger on my vert for the more linear throttle response and instant power, but considering how hot rotary's run, its kind of a shame to waste all that excess heat flowing straight out the back, especially when compared to a piston engine. Wouldnt the SC install be easier tho, cause only the intake would need to be re-routed, and the SC mounting location wouldnt be as tricky to get all the tubing to?

Even though SC's are more reliable and give instant power,



Nothing gives me a rush like boost in the powerband.

NOT IN THIS REALITY

Won't those beveled rotors lower the compression greatly?

I don't prefer one over the other but i voted S/C because I will be ordering a Camden when the money comes around. There are alot of turbo 7's in my area so I thought I'd go the other route and see how it works out.
