Supercharged or Turbo?

LMK!

Also planning to get some kw v3 coils

Neither. Drive it as is or buy something designed for more power from the factory.

i thought they were designed to be modified?

Why not just buy a faster car and go from there?

Throwing a turbo or supercharger on the car kind of defeats the purpose of it being a lightweight, twistie car. Not to mention you won't get nearly as good of a bang for your buck throwing a supercharger or turbo on that engine compared to like any other car out there

It was designed to be driven as it was sold lol



It doesn't defeat the purpose, but you're better off spending the money on a better car to start.

Has anyone seen their new ad where the two guys take the scenic route to their destination via one of the social media pick up apps? It's the least exciting car ad ever. It is set up like an AMG mercedees or GM sports car ad where it is supposed to make noise and slide around corners. Instead you hear a minivan like engine sound and they fast forwarded the tiny clip where they slipped the back end out just to make it look faster. I was laughing do hard my wife thought i had lost it.

Edit: this one

Forget what people are saying here.

These cars are, yes, purchased to modified and it takes a lot of mods and power to throw off its great balance.

250-300 whp changes the car significantly in a good way. Those numbers can be achieved with a supercharger and achieved even easier with a turbo.

Buying a "fast car" to begin with, for example, a mustang gt, completely takes away from being a very small, lightweight budget sports car. It's not like adding a supercharger weighs a lot. You're looking at 50-80 more pounds which the majority can be shed from the stock car.

My vote is supercharger. Slightly cheaper, more reliable, still making good power with tune and header and that 250-300 ( it can go higher) won't ruin the car's purpose even for spirited driving.

For $40,000, you can buy the car, do lighter wheels, tires, exhaust, header, tune, suspension and supercharger.

It will still be lightweight. People are making over 400whp before building the engine. That's quite a bit for car weighing 2850ish after mods.

Are there faster cars in the price range of a force induction brz, absolutely, but they are significantly heavier and larger. A 370z can be had at a good price, but it's bulky and heavier. A used corvette can be had, which is nice but generally more expensive to own and I hate comparing used car prices vs new.



This is a great car to build. It has a large aftermarket support. It's a tuner, driver's car.


If they release this STi model concept with any type of power upgrade, whether it be a larger engine (my guess), or FI (stated that they don't want to go that direction), it will be HUGE.
