on3performance turbo kit????
 

Im wanting a procharger but the local company who builds motors here is saying I should get a turbo kit from on3performance.com im not really sold on the idea cause the turbo kit is cheap like right under 2grand. anyone every deal with that company and would it be better to go turbo or just stick the procharger.

I looked into them about 8 months ago...they seemed legit but when I called about my car they kept giving my conflicting information about what they had in stock and so on. I ended waiting and getting a procharger.

My recommendation, and this is just because I know these guys personally, is Hellion if you want turbo.. IMO they can't be beat when it comes to great designed turbo kits.

What are your plans for the car though? There's a pretty big difference in the feel of a SC and turbo..

Im wanting to build a corner carver was think about using greggs but little pricy so maybe upr or maxium Not wanting a over kill on power im thinking 500ish to the fly. Was thinking about going with mmr for the motor already talked to them about what im wanting. Not to sure about trani was thinking stock t56 but im not sure if it can hold that probley ask one of the cobra guys sometime. started taking weight out of the car just now need to start buying lighter parts and already have a few bolt ons and 3.73 gears.

If you want a corner car get a blower then, you'll make easier boost down low and wont have to bang through the gears to constantly stay in the sweet spot of a turbo..

As for a T56, it'll have no problem handling that power level.. MMR makes great blocks, shop around a little though, might find something you like more from a different company or even build something yourself from a used block.. 500 fly isn't hard, forged internals with boost and you're good to go.. And if you want a track car, I'd probably go 4.10s to get more torque in and out of the turns.

thank you. That helps out alot. I also talked to dds about the same motor and they wanted $2000+ more then mmr also called chp but could never get ahold of anyone. Ive never had the experinse to build a motor and the 4.6 isnt just really a simple old pushrod 350. I had that thought but its a little intemidating to dive in such a build for my first motor. I thought back and forth about.3.73 or 4.10. only reason I went 3.73 was top end and I drive alot on the highway. I have a 50 mile commute to work one way. Which im in the means of looking for a beater car before I really start sinking money in to it.

corner carver might like a positive displacement blower a bit better than a centri.

I just got off the phone with Hellion. They said for the purpose I want to use it would be fine if I stay with the 61mm turbo.

Can't go wrong with them man, they make a great product and it's a breeze to install.. Wont be as quick down low but it will have some serious top end..

Negative. Centri = heat.

I'm partial to ProCharger.

Huh? I'm really confused by this statement.. centri = heat?

But your partial to a centri blower.. so you like the heat? Or did you mean positive displacement = heat?

would still like a procharger but after talking to them believe the turbo will suit to more what I want. And cool thing they are using one of the companys for the front suspension included in the kit. One thing they didnt know if I would like is the gears. They perfer stock said I should be fine with the 3.73s but if not I still have my stock ones.

Great man, glad to hear it went well.. John and the crew over there are great guys. Known them for awhile.. As for the procharger, it would act about the same, they don't kick in until around 2000 rpms.. If you can afford it, I would definitely go with the ball bearing turbo upgrade.. Huge difference in spool time and you will love the feeling.

OOPS! My fingers got ahead of my brain. I meant PD blower = heat.

This topic is of interest to me because I'm planning to buy a coyote car over the winter and I live near Sebring International Raceway, so I want to get more involved with HPDEs.

I love a TVS2300 on the coyote, but that's just too much heat for roadracing. I'll probably put a ProCharger on the car so I won't have to deal with heat soak out on the track.

Turbo isn't an option for me.

The TVS does not create that much heat, but I could see during road racing how it would start to heatsoak after several minutes of hard driving.. A KB would die, ha. I produce stupid amounts of heat with the stock set-up, but a larger heat exchanger and pump takes car of that.

dont mess with that on3 crap. either spend the $$$ for a real turbo kit or go with a procharger
