Tells you what I know about the SC options out there. :chuckles:

 

thanks for the suggestion though, westcoaststyle

 

any thoughts on the garrett turbo? gt28rs

 

I just did a quick search and found this forum: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...ghlight=gt28rs

It has some great turbo information as well as some information on the gt28rs you mentioned. Personally, I would go for a T3/T4 hybrid for quick spool-up and relatively good power.

 

see i heard the t3/t4 had some lag compared to the gt28rs which is supposed to have almost no lag. true or not?

 

It all depends on the setup with the intercooler, exhaust, etc. You can get a T3/T4 to a point where lag is almost non-existent. I have the tiny greddy turbo on my car and it is fully spooled by 3000rpms, so I don't really have lag to deal with. The only issue is the size of the turbo restricts higher power outputs. You have to give something up to get something: you either get lag but tons of power once the turbo is spooled, or you get a smaller turbo that spools almost instantaneously with very limited power output. That is just the reality of turbocharging any engine.

 

so it seems that if i want to have a fun and practical daily driver my best bet would be a supercharger. I am content with a max of 8-10 psi regardless of which i pick, if that changes anyones thoughts about the gt28rs.

 

and tuning would be the key...

 

I have a fun and practical daily driver and I make more power to the wheels than a JRSC kit running the same amount of boost. I don't have the low-end torque that a SC has, but it is still noticeably more than a stock engine has.
