I swa Soviet said the exhaust "ignites", meaning theres flames? And are you guys saying backfiring is something you want? So theoretically, could you get two small turbos and have each of them routed to two exhaust outlets (considering we all have 4 cylinders)? I know it'd be useless probably, but THEORETICALLY, could you? _____________________________ (in reply to Remmy) Post #: 33

Then when you shut the throttle you stop adding gas to the mix, so it turns into a fireball. If you're running rich enough, you will actually get a fireball to shoot out of your exhaust. Normally it's just a loud pop. It's not a bad thing, explosions are happening thousands of times per minute in your intake, this explosion just happens in a non controlled environment that's all. I think a better term would be an afterfire really. _____________________________ Champ White 1996 Civic Hatchback - 57trim SOHC Black 1998 Z28 Camaro - LS1 M6 (in reply to FlipHKD720) Post #: 34

Just make a custom manifold that has two different outlets and put turbos on each of them. Someone should do it even though its prolly to be the same as a single turbo. _____________________________ 1993 Honda Civic EX = dead...

If you want to turbo a 4 cylinder, all you need is one. _____________________________ Champ White 1996 Civic Hatchback - 57trim SOHC Black 1998 Z28 Camaro - LS1 M6 (in reply to cbaber) Post #: 37

RE: Turbo VS Supercharger; My Experiences - 12/17/2006 4:04:48 AM    Dr Talon   Posts: 35 Joined: 12/7/2006 Status: offline Anyone wanna see a Vortech Supercharger (basically a turbo compressor wheel that is belt driven instead of the rotors being belt driven that are common in superchargers). This one is in an S2000, you just gotta love that honda engine mounted vertically instead of horizontally (My next car is an S2000... would absolutely love a rear wheel drive honda!!!!) http://1autochovil.fiestras.com/futuretense_cs/Imagen/2005-AL-Racing-Honda-S2000-Engine-Compartment-1280x960.jpg (in reply to FlipHKD720) Post #: 39

RE: Turbo VS Supercharger; My Experiences - 12/17/2006 10:43:39 PM    Kedawei   Posts: 1946 Joined: 9/16/2005 Status: offline The vortech will carry torque all the way to redline with ease. It builds boost pressure per rpm though, so prior about 5k rpm, power output is low. You need a high revver to take advantage of it. Most people regard the turbo as being able to so the same thing for less money. < Message edited by Kedawei -- 12/17/2006 10:44:20 PM > (in reply to Dr Talon) Post #: 40
