I'm Back
I just picked up a 96 Eagle Talon bone stock, not has zippy has my 94 but it'll do for now. I previously owned a 95 PGT thinking it would be better after a year of it I decided to come back to DSMs. Pics will come soon

Re: I'm Back
I picked up an ESI. PGT= Ford Probe GT it is a nice high reving car, but it sucks on gas even though I had it modded out. My plan (for the Talon) is to get the engine up to specs then Supercharge it. I'm thinking 5 psi. I'm not looking to be the fastest just have about 200whp or something like that.

Re: I'm Back
Supercharge wtf, isnt that going to be more money than a turbo system?
|
Re: I'm Back
Oh man.. there's fun to be had with this guy...
|
Re: I'm Back
Why waste money on a supercharger? Sell the ESI and buy a TSI.

Re: I'm Back
Supercahrger is different and more reliable in the long run. Everyone has a turbo charger thats becoming has common as air (not knocking them)somebody needs to do something different.
Bluntedelvis I'm not a noob. I've been on here off and on for the last two years plus I've had four other DSms so I'm have more than enough experience with these cars. |

Re: I'm Back
If you are not a noob, then WTF are you talking about supercharging for.
hope you 2g guys want some body parts in the near future. |
Re: I'm Back
There's more to be had with a turbo and everybodys always looking to have more power then the next guy something you wont accomplish with a supercharger. I'm looking to be fast not king of the road. This will be my DD until I get my 3000gt VR4, I just need a little more power out of it especially since my Probe ran high 14's. I feel like a worm when accelerating on to the highway with the Talon. I'm use to getting thrown back in my seat and watching for 60 because it comes so quick.
In a way I guess I shouldnt try to explain myself because it is well known that MOST (not all) DSM guys are only thinking about putting the big number on their cars. That the reason why people get them. I'm just trying somethings different so don't flame me for being unique. Like I said before I just want a efficient car that has about 200whp and torque. |
Re: I'm Back
I can understand trying to do something different; but if you are going to do that it should make a little bit of sense.
Supercharged cars are not more reliable, they are more consistant and easier to deal with in some cases because its not as hard to regulate boost and other factors. I just can't see trying to Supercharge a Talon to get 200whp when you could buy a TSi and have that same HP with a boost controller, hardpipe, and intake. I think in the end it will end up costing you a fortune because its not as common. |
Re: I'm Back
^ Ohhh so true. Dont mean to flame you, it just seemed out of the ordinary for someone to put a supercharger in a talon. Are you working on a budget cause a supercharger is going to run the better part of $1000 not to mention an extra $500 to $600 in supporting mods. When you could spend that $1000 all together and have a sweet 20g/with supporting mods. You are right in one factor it would be unique, shit I havent seen one done with a supercharger but whatever floats your boat, and if thats the path you choose and you get it to run proper well than more power to you.

Re: I'm Back
Finally someone who understands. My point from a reliability aspect is that i've heard of more turbos going bad than superchargers has well has S/C being better than T/C has a daily driver (especially when I have a lead foot).
I'm not too worried about the fab work, has my Uncle and I are going to do it ourselves. The part that a shop will handle will be the tuning of everything. |
Re: I'm Back
Supercharged and turbo'd DSM has already been done.
your not special in that sense. |
Re: I'm Back
I guess I'm just not seeing the point in using a s/c to get 200 hp when you could spend less money, get a stock tsi or gst, throw a few cheap mods on it and have a better, more reliable car. I'm pretty sure that a 90% stock turbo'd car will be more reliable than a supercharged car with an engine not meant to see boost.

Re: I'm Back
Good luck with what you do.

Guys do your selves a favor and stop now. He WANTS to do it JUST TO DO IT.
As far as reliabilty, well we can sit here and guess, but maybe we should do some research or somthing. |
Re: I'm Back
Your funny turbolagtalon1g
Kevin 1g drummer a stock gsx/tsi would have been seriously beat on because everybody thinks of F and F when you think about a 2g DSM Matt D. your right than is a poor assumption on my part on another note I've desided to turbo. My uncle is unhappy with my decision to switch from PGT's to DSM (he has a PGL that he's going to put in the 1g PGT motor in) so he's not going to help. The guy I sold my PGT to siad he'll help me put together the kit, install and help tune the engine. He said alot of his friends have gsx's so some of you may know him. |

Actually more factory cars are coming with superchargers now. Nissan and Subaru for starters. I will would have to do a little more research but I am pretty sure there is a lot more than that! |
Re: I'm Back
thats because people dont like "turbo lag"... I honestly think that if turbo's werent being maxed out from people like us trying to get higher numbers out of them that they can be just as reliable or even more reliable than superchargers... especially when going aftermarket.
