i have a 99 z24 and i want to know what is beter for it. a turbo or a supercharger.. i have herd that the supercharger is better whne u have a 24, than on the other hand i have herd the oposite...what do you think??
I think you should ask in the BOOST forum
a reliable system will run at least 3 grand. the gm roots is fine if you want everything done and under warranty, but doesn't make that much power. a turbo is a lot more complicated but the price varies greatly, "junkyard" turbo'd cars have been around a while many people have put together a system for 1-2 grand, but longterm relibility is usually an issue. if you said supercharger, i'd say vortech and those go for quite a few bucks as well.
CAR GODS MADE THE 1.6 SOHC TO MAKE US 2.2 OHV GUYS FEEL BETTER.
the gm charger which im getting in few months produces 40hp and 40lbs or torque on most 2.4's, you say it doesnt produce much power but think of it like this, its 40 more hp then you had before right? and a turbo has to take time to buildup boost, and a superchrgers boost is almost always there at all times because it runs on the main car pulleys.

a properly sized turbo will produce almost instant boost with very little lag, if any at all, just like a supercharger. the difference is, the turbo will be at full boost much sooner than the supercharger will.
