ian_GTI 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Mate my cab was charged and the sound with the roof down OMGRoof down + VR6 sound + charger wine = driving ban was a matter of time Also I might add smoking a E36 M3 off the lights the leave it for dust along the dual carriageway still makes me smile when I think about it now, his face when he pulls up to the lights Link to post Share on other sites

russj249 2 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I started a 'budget' turbo project about a year ago, soon turns into massive expense if you do things safely and properly. After doing it for myself, I'm not sure if I'd go through all the hassle again. Charger would be so much easier and cheaper!But... I know what you mean, and I knew this, but still went with the turbo. Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 if your going to buy a new kit mate the only charger to go for is a Rotrex the others are not as good mate, and that is coming from someone with one of the other two !otherwise just keep your eyes on the classifieds on here and E38 as the kits pop up fairly often second hand and are often good deals Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I would blag a ride in supercharged and turbocharged to see what you like.I did that and went down the rotrex route, fantastic chargers and gets you hooked on boost lolThat's why I bought a R32 turbo Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh and for the record if I was building a FI R32 myself I would go rotrex all day Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Have had 2 vortech vf9's, vortech vf1, rotrex and 2x turbos and i would suggest that if u want more power than most (350+) then u need to look at internal mods first then dont waste time on a charger and go turbo straight away.. I however u want to sit with an average acceptable power increase then a charger is best on stock internals.. This will give 250-300 reliably with no major engine work..All cases will require a decent map and can run from stock ecu..I am currently working on my mk2 van conversion with a stock vr6 engine and t3/4 turbo upgrade with short runner, expecting 400 ish pn stock internals but not sure how long she will hold out!

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh and for the record if I was building a FI R32 myself I would go rotrex all dayyup agreed, if I was starting from scratch then I would be on the hunt for a Rotrex setup but saying that the Z I have makes the best noise of all of them !
