Why is it a waste of money? The time it takes to figure out how to read compressor maps, figure out exactly what kind of trim of the turbo which would work best for your application, figure out all the pieces and parts you'd need, sure you could save a grand... but a JRSC at 6 psi for 2200 bucks is a waste of money?
The only two people I'd take any advice from on this board about supercharging is the only two people who've actually HAD a supercharger on their cars. That'd be Steve and Prowler. I do recall Prowler recommending it, and Steve reminiscing about how he missed the sound of the supercharger, the more broad power band, and the feel of the car on low boost.
. . . . .
I personally cannot wait to get it. I'm not expecting much. A mere 200 whp with i/h/e, gsr cams and 6 psi tuned on a chipped P28 are pretty much going to be my only engine modifications. Why is an SC a waste of cash?
If you dont want to read compresser maps, look at what other people are running on their motor's and copy their mods. I/e, if most people with D16z's and 1.5k turbo kits have cars running low 14's reliably, then copy their setup.
Im NOT advocating BLINDLY jumping into something. If you take shortcuts, your end result will NOT be the same as that of somebody who did their homework. . . . .
Broad powerband.
If you run a quick spooling turbo like a T25 / 14B / 16G/ T28 , then your powerband will be plenty broad enough.
A lot of people trying to advocate s/c's have never driven a turbocharged car on a daily basis and have NO clue what they are talking about. There is a LOT to take into account when talking about turbo lag & spool up time. Everbody only talks about turbo lag off the line.
**Edit** thats a 16G
