Mattwillow Inactive Members 1 Member For: 18y 8m 1d Posted 04/07/06 12:18 PM Share Posted 04/07/06 12:18 PM G'day Fellas,I am currently driving a standard ba xr6 ute and am looking to gain a bit more power out of it.I have been looking around quite regurly and have found a few turbo's/Supercharger's out there but was wondering with the standard xr6 motor is there alot that needs to be done to turn it into a compatible turbo/supercharged engine.I'd love to hear some feedback if anyone has had there standard 6 upgraded or know of anyone as I am eager to put some more power into my car. Thankyou.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to sell your N/A and by a Turbo, you would lose more than this, so its a reasonsable alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superchargers make power differently, they just seem to keep on pulling and pulling, where the turbo engines can make a lot of their grunt below 3000rpm.But it will be more reliable and cheaper in the end if you sell the N/A, and buy a turbo.

Of course it depends what size turbo and to what type charger... but generally its the rule! I know of a car coming out that from the factory with both turbo and charger... and the article said that the carger was for low and turbo up top when the charger ran out of puff..... Matwillow I would seel it and buy a T... as stated above works out best.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally seemless transition of power.It depends on the supercharger, but roots type make great power down low and centrifugal types like Vortech make power further up the range. Roots type give great torque down low, but make power all through the range. Centrifugal type are more like turbos and need more revs to start make good power, but have great top end.
