Small T3/4 turbos like SIR Simon has. Using the S engine with a higher compression a small turbo will suck hard....

an idler gear is put between 2 gears and makes the driven gear spin the opposite way round without loosing its ratio

that sounds like some of the expensive modification routes he was talking about on the phone :lol:


I think im just going to get a nos kit. £500 fitted and £2500 worth of nos to be burned before i spend as much as a turbo or supercharger build :lol:

nos is cheating and totally lazy in my opinion.

the quality is in the engine build 1st before anything else.
then the sc

the turbo route is cheaper and cheating aswell in my eyes

but thats me

agreed, nos is blatant 'Doping' so a cheat.

Turbo's also remind me of cheating with the ''free'' power you get but with sideeffects.

The supercharger has always felt like the REAL option due to its integral design to the engine.

BUT I wont be doing anything inside the engine. not for a long long time.


i also feel i would get as much joy out of knowing i had nos there but didnt need it, right now!
