Well i have been studying the potential of the lsj for some time now and i tend to see that without nos we tend to stay around the 235-270whp which is not to bad considering the power to weight ratio these cars are quick, but! i myself am looking for more. very soon i will be ditch'n my m62 (which is already taken) and taking the path of the tvs or turbo build.
Now for my hp goals, im content with 350-370whp, thats all im looking for. now with the tvs i tend to see on the forums that they only acheve 280-300whp which is not bad for a supercharger on a 4 cylender but to even acheve that; meth,duel pass,and a h/e is mandatory. for me im looking for something that doesn't need much mantanance. now i kno that turbos can be a hand full (boost leaks and all) but its also less stress on our motor. superchargers run hot as hell and to get the most out of your s/c you will need to build your motor, as with a turbo straped on a lsj we can achieve up to 400whp daily driven!
now for the other problem......"FUNDS" my budget is around $2,500.00 - $3,000.00. this is my list for both builds... so to the public let me kno what you think and what the most cost effective swap i should do. also sound is a factor as well turbos sound great and you car will not sound raspy, now as for the s/c i have herd some of my friends cobalts with no cat and it just sounds civic, even mine at a cold start can get up there at wot. not to dis but you can run catless no resonator np on a turbo motor...ok so here we go!
