My idea: 12A, streetported, centrifigal supercharger, haltech ek6,
I happened accross the haltech site and had some ideas. With the programability of a haltech. I could pretty much do anything to my engine. Supercharge, turbo. I am thinking of supercharging because of the easier setup. This way, I can do my engine in stages, I just installed a 800$ part racingbeat, part custom exhaust system. I DO NOT want to scrap this system for a turbo. then get the haltech and convert to fuel injection. (similar in price to a carb upgrade, with programability). then do the port, supercharger and tranny over the winter.
What do you think. |
you would not have to scrap the entire exhaust to go turbo.. i have the full rb exhaust, and if i go turbo i am just going to scrap the headers.. you get a turbo exhaust manifold and just get a custom downpipe made to go what what ever you have after (in my case the presilencers)...
but either way, sounds like a plan. i think that, on our cars, you will get more out of a turbo than a supercharger, but go to it.. |
I have the long tube headers, there are two pipes after the headers.
|
so do i... that makes it all that easier.. you have more room to make your down pipe. just make sure and have it split into two pipes at the end of it
|
tuning and piping seams like it would be easier. Fitting a turbo onto a 12a seams like a lot of work. Plus it requires more sensors and controllers, which further increases cost.
|
very true.. the only thing is i think you will get a lot better performance gain from a turbo (due to the size of our engines)
|
How would this compare to the stock 12a turbo?
|
I have looked at my supercharger options and I am thinking turbo also now. If I get the 12a turbo manifold, what kind of turbo does it use. Like what is the flange.
|
well i am 4-port, so i was just going to use a turboII manifold and turbo...
so i donot really know about turbo size for a 12a. my guess is that you could probably hook up a TII turbo, but donot quote me on that |
A turbo two maniflod will fit on a 12 A? or are you talking 4 port 13b. Where can I get a 12a turbo maniflod. And I would need some kind of FI intake manifold also. Is the 12a turbo carbed. I might just swap in a Turbo II engine.
|
sorry, i am talking 13b for the manifold.. i have a 4-port 13b, so it is really similiar to the TII engines.
i donot know that much about the 12aT's, and the picture that i have of one is to dark to tell.. (and it is to large to post) |
