Hey all,

I live in the DC area and am starting to investigating getting a G with turbo or that's been supercharged. However, given the traffic in and around this city, I'm sticking to my guns and insisting on an automatic. Of course, that makes it slightly more difficult. If you have, or know of, an Auto G with engine mods please let me know. I'd love to see one in action and possibly buy one if I like what I see. Thanks!

 

superchargedG has a red 03 automatic G with stillen supercharger. this girl Mattie got a turboed G, they live in Timonium and Towson respectively. both cars sound and drives great

 

superchargedg i think is the only guy with a stillen supercharger...Mattie had a ATI? (don't remember)

 

ATI pro charger single turbo, it was sounding real good

 

ATI Procharger supercharger. Hers is a 6MT.

 

you sure? it looked more like a turbo to me, the stillen supercharger looked totally different.
*edit nm youre right its a supercharger http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=441

 

There are several styles of superchargers. The style ATI uses on that Procharger is a centrifugal blower that indeed looks very much like a turbocharger. It uses a pulley that runs off the engine pulley to spool up the compressor instead of exhaust gases like a turbo would.

The Stillen s/c design is a roots design.

They also have very different power characteristics. The ATI's spools up like a turbo and gives more boost the higher it can spool (up to its airflow limit). The roots style blower is more linear in power delivery - the upside being you get almost all the power right off the line, the downside being you don't add as much additional power the higher you rev.

 

anytime you want to ride in a supercharged g let me know,mine is a stillen,maddyk is a ati cent s/c.btw all cent s/c,s have a blowoff valve like a turbo and all have to be tuned.the stillen is plug and play the rest are not.you have to have it tuned all the time and god help you if it runs lean(booooom).

 

cmon terry what kinda G enthusiast are you!!! cant tell the diff. btw a turbo and a S/C!!!

as far as i know there are 4 choices for S/C for the G...

Stillen, Vortech, ATI and HKS

turbo theres 2343242342 of them...both TT and ST setups...

 

yeah i thought it was a turbo charger. it was the first time ive seen the ATI supercharger, prior to today ive only seen the vortech.

 

It's also very easy to mistake it for a turbo since it looks like one to someone who's never seen that type of SC before. No big deal.

 

i heard HKS is overpriced compare to others
and you dont get as much hp as others(?)
vortech FTW(?) :O

 

yeah, it was definitely a supercharger, didn't you see that huge belt?

 

yeah, i completely overlooked that, i was too busy checking out the driver ,

 

I was like ATI made a ST also? haha.
