Hi all,
I'm a long time lurker on here but decided it was time to make an account as I'm starting to think about boost. I realise there are a lot of threads already, most of which I've read. However, I'm looking for some more up to date opinions/experience etc.
My aims are for around 250bhp at the fly and of course, more torque. The car is used a lot on track and I'm after something to help pull it out of corners quicker and give it more edge on the straights.
The issue I have with the idea of boost is reliability. At the moment, the car is spot on - I've *touch wood* never had a single problem with it. I also want to keep my B16B as it seems like a strong engine, doesn't smoke etc - is this a mistake?
I've been offered a JRSC kit with the LHT cooling setup to help combat heatsoak. I had originally been looking at turbo setups, but this seems very tempting and is probably a simpler way of adding power? Would this kit be adequate for the power I'm aiming for? Does anyone have any experience of what sort of power I could expect from this kit?
I know its an age old question, but simply, is the B16B better off with a supercharger or turbocharger? What is the safest way of reaching what I'm after?
Cheers
