I'd like to do the OPPOSITE of my last car (the BadBlk95GT) which was 11.5:1 compression and all motor, and try to add my performance to the Calypso via power adder instead.

This car has 55k original on it, and I'd like to try to stay away from opening the motor for any reason--hence I'd like to add as much to this completely stock setup as possible whilst still being able to pull it all off and return to stock easily for sale or just 'in case'.

What is the best way to go here?  I'm planning on the typical baseline stuff beforehand (gears, exhaust) and beginning the search for the correct unit now.  I've been to superchargers4less.com and found really great deals on the low psi Vortech kits, seems like the Novi 1k will run similarly priced.

My best friend (and experienced mechanic) is pushing towards a turbo, but the install on that scares the hell outta me.  I don't want to chop and custom fab too much.

And juice--I really have no interest in that.

Of all the boost options you've dealt with, what worked best for you?

Thanks in advance

Ralph

OK, thanks.

On what?  Please advise.

Got injectors and MAF's laying around everywhere.  Not an issue.  Fuel pump, well I'll just put the big one in the tank.

Bypass valve.  This is like a blowoff for a turbo right?

Are they a necessity in a low boost kit like the 6 psi vortech?

Oh cool.

I'm thinking just going mellow for now, perhaps generating some pulleys at work to add boost at later stages.  IDK.

24lb injectors ok or 30 required?

As soon as I saw you posting, I knew a wiseass remark was on the way...

Thanks for not disappointing, craigDOT!

b****in'.

get a turbo for the bike 

Yes they do...it has to be a recirculating valve like the stock one on my car.

I am with Steve on this one.  I was looking at a A trim and my brother in law talked me out of t because he told me once I get used to the power I will want more so I just bought a T trim.  Love it.

Most of the JY turbos that I've seen looked like complete and utter crap!  The blower kits on the other hand, most of them look real nice.  This is a nice car.  I'd hate to see you have to go hacking and running crap all over the place in a one off variety.  If money is that big of an issue, just leave it as is until you save enough.  You've got the bike for your speed fix now.

I beg to differ Chris.

It really comes down to how much work and effort is put into it.  Clean up the welds, send it off for a coating, good to go!

*cough*kennebell*cough*

Chris, I can't argue that...but if it breaks, just tack some more weld onto it.   I see what you're saying.

If you want something like everyone else has and is easy to bolt on, get a blower.  If you want to be a little different and join an elite group of people   Get a turbo, whether manufactured or home-made.

I'm looking to add some ass to a basically stock looking/driving car.  The best benefit to this coupe is the fact that it's virgin, and I want it to be sleeperish, ya know?

Turbos are definitely the unit of choice...  Can you turbo for close to the price that it costs to charge?  I have a close friend who is willing to plumb it if I get the unit.
