Chris Smith Altus Racing Administrator Offline Chevy Speed Posts: 1441 Altus, OK Gender:	Nitrous vs. blowers ? 04/26/06 at 15:30:20 Nitrous vs. Blowers ? Just thought we needed more activity. Would you guys prefer Blowers, Nitrous or Turbo's in your vehicles? And Why? Or is Naturally aspirated the only way to go? Chris

Reply #1 - 04/28/06 at 03:14:08 ive always like the whining sound of a blower but nothing is more impressive than and all motor car vs. a power enhanced car such as a blower or nitrous when the all motor car can pull away from a power enhanced car that is just way more impressive to me.

LIke your truck multiport fuel injection with a supergharger(side mount blower) and your car blown (top mount)with Injection. Actualy those are both the same so I guess if you can afford it blown injection.

I would love to build a turbo car one of these days. Actually I wouldn't mind putting a turbo motor in my nova to play around with as my next motor. Not that many people know anything about them and there isn't much info on-line. Anyone have any experience with a turbo or dual turbo car? Aftermarket application, not grand nationals and things.

Reply #4 - 05/04/06 at 22:28:11 Jack down at John's runs a turbo on his grand national I think he knows a thing or 2 about tuning them. I know he's reading this if we could just get him to sign in and talk about them.

But the more compact size and cool sound of a turbo are hard to beat. I do have one question, what's the best way to over-come turbo-lag off the line?

You could even use a small shot of NOS. There is also a system called ALS Anti-Lag-System that produces small explosions in the turbo system to keep it spooled up. This is illegal in a lot of racing bodies. Chris

TWIN TURBO'S WITH A FAST EFI SETUP IS THE WAY TO GO OR A PROCHARGER CHRIS DO A DOGPILE SEARCH THERE IS ACTUALLY A TON OF INFO BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ALOT OF IT IS BAD INFO ONE OF THE PREMIER BUILDERS THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI IS TRAVIS QUILLEN SEARCH HIS NAME TOO FOR INFO THE BEST THING ABOUT A TURBO CAR IS YOU CAN DRIVE IT TO THE TRACK WHEN YOU GET THERE TIGHTEN UP THE WASTE GATES PUT ON A SET OF SLICK'S AND RUN 9'S IN THE QUARTER Wink

THE CHEAPEST WAY TO GO FOR BIG POWER IS WITHOUT QUESTION NOS

TURBO'S HAVE COME ALONG WAYIN THE LAST FEW YEARS TURBO LAG IS NOT AN ISSUE THERE ARE GUY'S BUILDING REAR EXHAUST MOUNTED TURBO'S AND THEY EVEN SAY WITH ALL THE EXTRA LENGTH OF THE PIPEING LAG IS NOT AN ISSUE

One of these days I need to give it a shot. This time I am going to go ahead and just use Nitrous. But I am trying to build the car this time where down the road I can experiment with a few things.
