would a SuperCharger work on an FC?
At first I was thinking of going with twin turbos but now something about constant power for drifting seems scary to my competition! Lol I was wondering and had to ask the 13b experts, is a super charger a good choice and will it work on a rotary?

There are a few threads that would have answered your questions if you would have searched.
A good choice... No. Mainly for the fact that the price to power ratio is no good. You can get more power from a decent turbo charger set-up and still spend less money. Plus, they don't even produce them anymore. You'll have to find one used. Yes, it will work on a rotary. It's a cool concept... But it just isn't practical in a lot of aspects. |
superchargers are much more limited than a turbo is.
main difference is the supercharger is always working to make more power, so low end response is better with the supercharger than the turbo. and twins? a good single is as responsive as twins and will make more power. |
Superchargers do not provide constant power, but the Roots and Lysholm types do provide relatively constant boost. Roots superchargers are inefficient and relatively inexpensive, and are good for about 8-12psi boost. Roots types are available from Atkins Rotary (Camden).

Here is something to read for a general idea about supercharging rotary engines.

There was a black supercharged vert FC for sale around my area for 10g.. all I can say is ehh...

Go for a decent single turbo step up. It makes your life easier with more power.

please let this thread die

OK so I read some of the linx and gotta say still in doubt of what I might go for. I know some suggest not to but if I do ima do it for fun see what setup I engineer to it. Before I spend all that though I'll twin intake it in a custom way see wat I can dish out. Thanks for the help ppl!

What?
From all of the information I've read in regards to supercharging, it seems far less appealing. I had always been interested in low-end torque without swapping a V8. The thing is, I also want an engine that is going to last a bit longer. A supercharger isn't going to help with that. I'll stick with my turbocharger. |
