Main Differnaces Between A Charger And A Turbo On A VR?

[rixy 0]

i have recently been thinking about either supercharging or tubo charging my vr, and wondered what the main differances are?

 

Ive been told turbo doesnt give much low down torque, where as a charger gives lots of torque and power?

 

I've seen a bahn brenner turbo kit for the vr for 1200.00, which i thought was quite good. what does everyone think?

You may like to check the rather large Supercharged VR6 Thread Recenly a lot of discussion on turbo & supercharger differences/gains etc. Try pages 46-48. Or ask. :)

The kit you have seen is just a upgrade kit. intercooler etc

Chargers are usually constantly spinning as they are belt driven by the engine thus giving extra boost through out the rev range.

 

Turbochargers are free spinning and do not provide extra power untill the engine is pushing out enough boost to turn it (usually 3k revs upwards)

turbo'd an supercharged?is that possible? :silly:

It is indeed ......as long as you have very deep pockets

yes thats the kit that we can supply with a price tag of $2649 not $1200

shouldnt think it would be much off that price by the time u pay all the tax and crap. Darren is the man to speak to about bahn brenner stuff. ill ask him about it if i go down there at the weekend mate!!

Andi,i was thinkin done to a rado :wink:

 

but would be more than happy with a golf :lol:

ok, didnt realise u was even on here mate, have fun playin with ya engine?

isnt that price roughly about 1200.00 ish anyway, maybe a it more after importing it etc? Rob_b says he thinks g_werks can get em anyway! might give him a call

You'd also need to build an extra engine bay onto the side of the C in order to fit it all in - just fitting a supercharger is tight (especially on a VR), let alone trying to fit a turbo too.

The advertised price on bbm site converts to £1537.79 you need to then add import tax - shipping and then Vat on top of that if you want it delivered.

aprox £2419 delivered.

 

Our prices incorperate all of the extra costs and should be very competative.

HTH

As Roddy said, good luck getting insurance.. i'm amazed you can get a Storm insured at 20 years old - add a supercharger to the equation and they'll just laugh at you!

kit look nice but i reckon it for the 2.8 not the 2.9 abv as it a usa site they put the 2.8`s in thier corrados (what a dum idea) please correct me if i am wrong

[aposegil 0]

also remember that these kits are built for LHD cars

 

I know someon that orders a turbo kit from EIP bt sadly wont fit his RHD so had to sell it on and lost some money

 

something to keep in mind

2.8AAA and 2.9ABV are practically the same tho.........just bigger bore in the 2.9ABV so i would imagine it should fit both

It is possable. The supercharger for the low revs and a turbo for when the engine is screaming.

 

Some people even bi-turbo either running the turbos in line or in series
