I know what i want now Options

[macavely]

Well after talking to Matt last night while i was at work.. i know what i want to do under the hood now... forget a swap i just don't want to deal with all the problems.. so i will be throwing my hat into the 5sfte club.... I already started looking for parts... i'll keep everyone updated as the parts come in...

i have modest goal (i feel they are)...
190-200whp...

A turbo compressor that flows efficiently at 5-6 psi is going to produce a cooler charge than a positive displacement blower at the same pressure, which by the way are almost never intercooled. At that low of a pressure, plumbing in an ic would not be worth it, considering that the turbo would have to huff harder to make up for pressure drop going thru piping and the core itself- producing a hotter charge coming off the cold side. Throw in cost while you're at it but the real issue here is throttle response. all things equal, an engine that has better throttle response allows the driver to deliver more of the total available power, more of the time.

ALot of blowers r now using aftercoolers which while differnt from a IC does help.

I suggest an IC.. granted at 5-6 psi your really not gonna need it but at some time your gonna want to turn it up some more... thats just how it works

another option to reduce lag and still cool the charge is using CO2 sprayer on your piping.. its aot of custom work but have seen it yeild great results for people that run non IC

Either way good luck on your guys 5sfte projects
