turbo or supercharger ?
which 1 would be cheaper and cooler ? thinking about getting a loan out ..
living the low life
thread fail.
do some research and i think youll find your in well over your head.
Evil is always around you
Any type of FI... is neither Cheaper or cooler and getting a loan out for it... in my books... is just fricken stoopid.
Must be school holidays or something???

Dont get a loan out for mods, particularly for a 15 y.o commodore. If you want a turbo or supercharged project your better off saving cash and slowly up buying parts as you go rather than paying interest on borrowed money.
In answer to your question I reckon a complete conversion from a factory supercharged V6 seems the go. A lot of people seem to be doing it, and it seems cheaper and to have less headaches than supercharging your current engine
Obviously Unsensible
dont forget you dont just chuck in a supercharger/turbo.
if your going to go for rocket speed specs you may want to add some stopping power.
and the whole rest like airflow needs to be changed.
so from looking at a $3000 turbo kit youll probably need to spend $20000 + to get it all done, tuned, better braking and everything.
(unless you go L67)
a loan to modify a car is just utterly stupid.
learn to save like you used to when you wanted a lego set when you were younger.
how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like thatOriginally Posted by Jonesy484
don't go any forced induction on a stock v6 mate, if you want to go down the FI road then set your self up with a good base, a factory supercharged v6 can go great if you change a few things and there not overly expensive. but there also not worth taking out a loan on. drive your car as is until you save up some money, when you've got good cash saved buy something worth while that wont explode any time soon.
Bro go for the turbo, superchargers sound awful.
Also, go hard with the loan bro, dont let the haters all put you off.
turbo is probaly cheaper and makes more power
Yeah, seems the smartest way to go.
IMO if you have to ask that kind of question and are planning to take out a loan to do it shows you probably don't have the maturity to drive a car with such power. No, I'm not a hater, I'm just sick of seeing young c***s with their little turbo's hearing pssssh pssssh all the time, flying all over the road like its a race track. Lets hope you don't wrap it around a pole after taking out a loan and subsequently spend the next 5 years paying off a bad mistake.

I need some statesman/ calais woodgrain for drivers side panel!!
Ability to save money is nothing to do with maturity - its just the world we live in. Nobody saves for things anymore.
and have :)
if ya getting a loan get a complete l67, at least it will last longer than throwing a turbo or blower on a stock v6...... will end up with nothing but a big loan if ya not careful

Nothing wrong with getting a loan to mod a car.
You just to go about it properly And it within your means to afford.
My mate for example got an $8000 loan to finsh his car.
He had a daily car on gas to use every day
He was planning on spending said amount anyway (had a budget)
He was able to get everything done in 2 months that would have taken 8 months instead.
Money he intended to save went into loan instead
Had it paid back within 6 months
Built a good credit rating out of it
What is bad about that? if anything its a good smart way to go about it. No worse than taking out a loan to buy a car
Wow this hole site has become full of wankers, the guy just wanted some advice and you all drilled the #### outta him. Friendly site heh.
To be honest its not a very good question, it was already stated if your asking which is cooler and cheaper and then getting a loan for it then you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Which is cooler? Turbo
Which is cheaper? L67 (supercharged V6) conversion
Which is cooler and not cheaper? twin charged L67
As for loan question ive already answered that.
and have :)
oy, which post did i drill the shit out of him ya knob? calling 'everyone' wankers just because of a couple of people aint very nice now is it..

that changes everything for me, to bad you didn't say that to begin with.
If you are going for a tuff burnout car with a six go the supercharger, you spend less, less custom work to fit it but you can still get great power out of them, still dunno about a loan on it tho, maybe get some mates to pitch in and use it as a community burnout machine.
( .Y. )
Just put a chevy badge on your car champ....
I hear their cheap and pretty cool too
Nar, seriously though.... turbo all the way.. But do it to a V8
go supercharged l67, put a smaller pulley on the supercharger and with some exhaust/intake mods and some screwing around with the ecu etc... you will have an awesome ride. take a loan out if you want to just make sure you are financially able to pay it off of course
and ecotecs dont respond very well to turbos unless i wanna spend a million dollars. just go l67 you wont regret it!!
bit of a delyed response but yeah agreed this forum full of a bunch of tossers these days
dude get a turbo its sorta different and more funner to do, the outcome be better, you can get a full kit off a aussie website for $6000 i forgot the site look on here, bolt on heavy duty brakes around 400-500 i seen in a mag, dyno 500 bucks and a cert 500 bucks dunno what this $20'000 shit is all about, delco wizzard tuned his commie and it was old, he did it for sweet #### all, it goes hard and guess what its still smoking hard
ps i spend 8grand a year on my car which is from a loan i pay off in 9 months for 3 years have a mean car
1994 vr commodore hsv body 17'' powdercoated rims, lowered on superlows, tinted, sounds, black topped. turbo project in the making.
Yea for sure man!
Dont listen to all the haters man just take out a 20k loan and get both supercharger and turbo and get 7 blow off valves run toluene and 70psi and then when you blow it up / crash it and dont have any insurance because your only 16 you can spend the next 10 years paying it off... but hey some people might like learning the hard way eh?
do some research
save some money
dont get a loan to pay for things you dont need.
Holden4eva!
The loan part is up to you, though if I was going to build skid car on the cheap I would go the Supercharged L67.
Other wise buy something that is already modded for that purpose, Like a falcon then when/if you blow it up nobody on this forum would care.
As for the what is cooler, I think Supercharged simply because I am sick of hearing every second Excel fluttering down the road.
