welcome to celispeed

**missblueeyes87** · 03-31-2010, 08:00 PM

So far no mods :(. but definately plans. its getting rims, exhaust, springs & intake for now. & hopefully by next summer she will be turbo. (i hope). im open for suggestions on parts (brands &mods & such) because i dont know much yet but im learning. i love her so far. i looked or one for over a year. this one was byfar a steal tho :)

**akley88** · 03-31-2010, 08:02 PM

welcome to celispeed blueeyes. as the previous post said, check out monkey wrench racing, they have a fairly good selection of performance parts.

welcome to the show!

**subspec** · 04-01-2010, 06:19 AM

welcome to celispeed. you will find this forum to be verry performance driven. IMO tho. dont waste your money on a intake if your just going to go turbo. your gonna need to change all the intake piping anyways.

thats a good point. my brain saw turbo and ignored that.
since you have a gt-s another option you have is a supercharger.

**jons02gts** · 04-01-2010, 09:00 AM

verrrrrry true. blitz/ greddy

**subspec** · 04-01-2010, 09:02 AM

i got a question for you guys. whats the major diffrences between the heads of a 1zz and 2zz. maybe the super on a 2 will fit a 1

**akley88** · 04-01-2010, 09:03 AM

the s/c will fit with custom work. there is a guy on youtube that has done it.

**jons02gts** · 04-01-2010, 09:15 AM

only major diff is lift.

this migh help.

**akley88** · 04-01-2010, 09:16 AM

valve size is another difference but that doesnt matter unless u try swapping heads

**jons02gts** · 04-01-2010, 09:19 AM

which without an ecu for lift, would be pointless.

**missblueeyes87** · 04-01-2010, 11:54 AM

Whats the pros/ cons or tubro & supercharger? which would be better for the car?

Locker · 04-01-2010, 12:08 PM

turbo's and superchargers just different ways of forcing air into the intake mani.
Really comes down to preference.
A supercharger is belt driven so as soon as you put your foot down your supercharger is forcing air
A turbo on the other hand uses exhaust gas to build pressure so it you'll have lag. (for instance your B/F car I'm sure you've notice once he hits about 3500+ RPM the car is a different animal) Thats when the turbo kicks in and produces power.

Turbo's are nice as in normal driving your not really using it so you get better gas millage. I've never owned a supercharged car before so my opinion is biassed

**missblueeyes87** · 04-01-2010, 12:18 PM

I knew that. lol. i mean for the cars sake. i know turbo isnt that great for my car because of the higher compression i can only run low boost. & it i want more boost id have to do some internals to make it stronger. i really just want the one that would produce the best results & not hurt my car.

Locker · 04-01-2010, 12:26 PM

Well both produce boost so both are hard on the motor. IMO its really just personal preference

**akley88** · 04-01-2010, 12:35 PM

if you plan on building a engine later i would go with the turbo cause you can increase boost later. s/c is good for someone looing for extra power but not going for all out power, they are nice in the fact that they work faster then a turbo. turbo though doesnt take power to make power though, but you can get the craving for more power and turn up the boost to much if you use a boost controller and grenade your engine. i wanna go turbo cause of power goals but i would go either one if your dont want very large hp numbers. one benefit of the s/c is one of the kits comes with the ecu tuned i believe and that saves on dyno time. and there is no exhaust mods necessary.
