[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1063741935, member: 2429"] Yeah well, this was performance mods. Talking about chassis rigidity is another topic! My understanding of dump valves is that they are the same as BOV. Hmm.. There isn't much to talk about. There are generally 3 types of superchargers, the screw type, centrifugal and one other I forget the name. Each type of supercharger produces different sort of power and that's pretty much it. Considering how bloody expensive these are it's hard to do R&D without experience and I don't have much experience except on AMR300 superchargers which I believe is a screw type supercharger. Mines, it's hard to say. Depending on the quality of the parts and brands, the NA mods can easily cost as much as the FI stuff. Having said that though, if you're crazy enough FI can be just as expensive. I know a Turbo car that has about 20k investment. I've also heard of ultra high revving NA screamers that spend almost just as much. Hard to say which is more exp la. But to get NA to go 300bhp is not an easy task. FI on the other hand is easier. As for NA vs Turbo on the same platform - say a Honda EG - NA vs Turbo the NA will win in a short drag race say 100m. Compare that with the quarter mile I'm sure the Turbo will eat NA for breakfast. But that also might be wrong depending on how the turbo is setup. Last time at Batu 3 there was a Evo that had permanant turbo starting from 1.5k rpm all the way to 6k rpm. That's turbo is crazy on the low ends! So in the end it's not so much which is better, it's just a matter of which more suites your driving style and which makes you happy. 4T.. ITB is a bit of a foreign thing to me. My understanding of 4T is it's basically the same as having one giant TB. You'll suffer big time on the lows but once you hit mid to high it'll be screaming murder and you'll be flying. I'm not sure how 4T will work with the Mivec system and definitely don't know enough about 4T to give proper advice! Hopefully someone here can chip in? [/QUOTE]
