turbo, TT or Supercharge?

[ProMaX]

Ok so i'm getting a VZ SS at the start of next year and i know it's going to take awhile to save but i'm going to start now.

what should i get for my vz ss? turbo, TT(if it's possible, i don't know much) or supercharge it?

along the way whilst saving i'm getting the usual mods such as CAI, exhaust, tune, re-chip, intake manifold etc etc.

what do u guys think? post any comments/suggestions i'm open to criticism coz i don't know that much about cars anyways but have plenty of friends that do

[ProMaX]

for those of you who vote could u post a reason behind it, i'm just trying to balance out the pros n cons of each but really open to anything

cheers

I voted don't bother with any.

Mainly because I don't believe in forced induction on V8's. I'd prefer an N/A 8 worked to the max!

But if I was to choose out of the two I'd be going for a supercharged set up. More boost at low RPM's.

i went supercharge because it would work out cheap and has the whine that i like!

I reckon a nice big single turbo, cos driveability isnt required for everyone. But seriously, have a look into twin turbo set ups, they produce some very good power figures, spool up at low rpm and are easily driveable as a daily. "enhancedss" off this forum just sold him supercharger kit, to put a TT kit on, he is the man to speak to if you have any questions.

Marranos performance, i think are in sydney, they also do TT and T setups, they just did a twin turbo Coupe 4 for a customer too.

barbs wheres abouts do u live?
I live near castle hill

seems like the votes for twin turbo are catching up to the superchargers

[Doctor Sodways]

I dare say that marranos will do supercharging, they sponsor the LS1.com.au forum, so they have a section in there that you can browse through.

Twin turbo is generally considered one of the best options for the LS1, a lot of people have them, and run some very quick times down the quater, while still being able to drive them daily without scaring the crap out of themselves

i live near parramatta, like 5-10 minutes from the westifields,

to add with marranos having a section on ls1.com.au

castle hill have one to, theres a nice thread about one them guys doing a one off TT on his vy ute

Considering drive in and drive out it is 13k for a GenTT setup, i'd go with an NA setup, the direction i have gone has seen me easily get to 340rwkw with still more work to come. Why do you need forced induction when raw power is just as easy. Besides, too many people go FI to try and cut costs, in the end it will cost you more. Stay NA mate.

by the way, remember that all second hand cars and mods should be paid for with cash, any other way and you may as well burn the money before you spend it

what is with the concept of naturally aspired cars anyways? like would u be able to give us a list of mods to do so i can start saving up? i'm gunna fish around for some prices n what not

how does one make a worked N/A 8?
