RE: Which do you like? SC or Turbo
Reborn: I have not heard too much promissing things about the centrifugal SC. Only really good a high rpm or thats where it make max boost something like that i heard and cost mucho $$$.
SOV: They really don't make a lot of power and the expense of them is unreal for what you're getting

Something that reminds me of the planes that i fly.
Does it whine the same or sounds more like a turbo.

They are insane for boost when put on V8's, one of the best actually. But for a 4 cylinder car its a waste. They have instant boost due to being belt driven, but only partial. Most power and boost is made in the top end. thats why itys hard to find a centrifugal blower for a civic, not worth it really.

RE: Which do you like? SC or Turbo
i was pretty much dead set on turbo'ing my sol to 300whp on my new b18c but i'm thinking of just going JRSC now... i am not looking fora street monster just something peppy that will get me past a slow car in the right lane and such. this is basically just gonna be a toy car for me buta couple things concern me.
1. Reliability. I know their biggest downfall is the heat that they produce. With an 8psi pulley will the heat created from the JRSC cause reliabilty issues for me? This will be a daily driver for a year or so. So i want to make sure that i can still drive it daily and take the random trips up to 8 hrs away for the car shows i attend. (NOPI ntl's etc etc)
