Yeah, so what's better on your engine for a daily driver. The juice, vortech, kb, paxton... I need some input. I was so ready to get a nitrous kit, but then after researching dry kits, there aren't any that work on an 04. Guess that's a good thing, it saved me $550. Anyway, what would be better in the long run? Would a blower require too much maintenance for a daily driver? I'm talking about a car that'll get driven like 15,000 miles a year roughly. What brand/type of blower would be best on the engine? Would nitrous (wet kit) be the way to go or is it too much on the engine? I want to get some more of that OH SNAP!!!! feeling when i floor it.

heh, i put on 24k last year with my blower. It requires very little maintenace (like 1/4 quart of oil every 20k miles, can be changed in 2 mins in the driveway). A blower is the way to go. Try to find one with an intercooler or aftercooler to get the most out of it. Then just look for a good deal.

All the blowers you mentions are good for daily drivers. Realize that you can drive a car with any of the blowers mentioned all day long under zero boost. There is no 'wrong way' to go in trying to find a blower that is reliable. They all are reliable and generally maintanence free. You tune means a lot more as far as extending engine life than the blower. Hey, Saleen's series 4 twin screw kit is complete for $4400. I think it is the best deal blower for the $ right now.

i have the choice between a vortech and KB. i can get the vortech installed, tuned, all the bells and whistles for about 4700 and the kb for everything is just a tad under 6k. i just wasn't sure if one was harder on your engine than the other. looks like i gotta start saving my pennies. [&:]

get em both! have the vortec feed into the KB


i wonder if thats possible

Birdieman4

Your right foot dictates which is harder on your motor.

Birdieman4

Why not consider a series 4? For the $, it blows away the KB, and performs as good. Both are 1.7 L units. (I am assuming you were talking about the KB 1.7)

The juice is cheaper...more bang for your buck. Yeah it takes life off your motor but you can safely spray 75 to 100 shot on your motor with no internals. I also depends on how much you hit the magic little button. If you get the spray, I would go with an NX kit.
