Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    No. If you want a supercharger, you have to put the system together yourself. It would be wise to upgrade for any form of forced induction.

        You can read on the forum... which is the point of you not being able to post there. Also, if you look down about 7 posts on the first page of this particular forum, you'd see a lengthy discussion about this already.

        You can use a supercharger from a GM, but you'd have to find a way to make it fit between the strut towers, and between the engine and firewall. You'd have to fabricate an intake manifold. You'd have to figure out how the belts would line up. You'd have to figure out the pulley ratio so you wouldn't get too much or too little boost. You'd need to make sure your engine is healthy, since non-intercooled boost is very hot, and can do some damage. Assuming you can get it running, you'd need to tune your ECU to properly compensate for boost. Rememeber, the GTP/Regal superchargers are on 3.8L V6 engines... quite different from a 2.2L 4.

        Other people have suggested Mercedes Benz superchargers. One guy here had one fitted, but never actually ran it.

        The "turbo looking supercharger" is a centrifugal supercharger... and yes, that would be a bit easier. Procharger makes a universal kit that you could probably get working with minimal fabrication. Still not a straight bolt-on deal, but it would work if you figured it out.

        The fact that you say "turbo looking supercharger" leads me to believe you have absolutely NO idea how superchargers work, what they are, what is needed, or how much effort you would have to put in to make one work. You might want to start learning the basics before you even attempt it. Read and learn.

          i no how shit work's lol i just never no if they made a s/c kit for the cb7 i would not mind havig a turbo kit but to much involved in that plus my car is auto and im just looking for lil more power then what i have , i love the throttle response of the s/c my roommate has a c230 konpresser and i love the response but his car is just lil faster then mine by maybe a car from a roll so id love find away to fab a s/c kit for my car ,wish someone on here already done it and could tell me how they did it and how well it worked

            i would say that you need to rethink the sc because if a turbo is too involved then how in hell is something that you have to have custom fabricated gonna be any less involved but thats just my opinion

              idk...there could be alot of fab then there could not but turbo u have upgrade alot of things and i dont wanna have a turbo automatic..lol feel me but i mean if i can get or find away to s/c my car then fuck it lol i just want more response and power i hate to have slam the peatel to the floor i like cars that u can bearly press the peatal and go somewhere could cams and fule upgrade and throttle body solve this problem some what and upgrade chip?

                you want more response get some itb's. if you want to make decent power go turbo on your stock shit and keep the psi down below 12, i would go for about 6-8 psi. do a 5 spd swap if you dont like the auto. a 5 spd f22 tranny is cheap. but you may want to go ahead and get the h23 or h22 tranny if you want shorter gears. but hey man i would do any of those before i did a s/c but that is just me... i mean if you are doing it to stand out then go for it and more power to you but you just want to make some power and it aint worth the hassle unless you have mad skills in fabrication or you got hella deep pockets.

                  Then one day I meet a man,
                  He came to me and said,
                  "Hard work good and hard work fine,
                  but first take care of head"

                    Why would you think you wouldn't have to upgrade anything for a supercharger?

                    I don't know where people get the idea that superchargers are safer than turbos... they're pretty much the same thing (especially centrifugal superchargers). One is driven by the engine, one by exhaust. The result of compressed, super heated air is the same. A roots-style supercharger, or any manifold-integrated blower for that matter, is worse than a turbo because it's very difficult to intercool... it can be done, but even that isn't as efficient as a normal front mount.

                    The ONLY thing that makes superchargers safer than turbos is the fact that being engine driven, you can't overboost. A turbo's wastegate can fail, and the boost can go through the roof. A supercharger can only spin as fast as the engine turns it, based on the pulley setup. If you overboost with a supercharger, you would have to have made some careless changes!

                    Of course, the chance of a turbo over-boosting is greatly reduced when you buy quality parts... so many people use cheap crap.



                    I love when people tell me they understand how things work, and prove otherwise in the same run-on sentence.
