supercharging and compresion

I belive that turboing an n/a motor without dropping the comp makes for a very streetable ride, but I was wondering what the effects of super charging the same setup would do, s/c 14 on a ca18 for example. I know its cheaper and easier to turbo this motor butI am still interested in the reasons for and against not including the afore mentioned turboing factor.

well the sc14 would make it move but i would think ud have to keep the boost down to say 10psi.
i would have thought that getting a turbo motor in the first place would have been easier

the supercharger will also mean 0 lag which is allways nice when powering out of low speed corners

Thanx for that. From what i've heard about this subject,the low and mid range of a compressed turbo setup is more apealing to me than out and out mid to top end power.I would be very happy with a motor that pulls from nuthing to 8 grand with a couple of hundred h/p.Not realy a lot to ask for.I got an n/a c/a for free so thats why the interest in the blowers effect on this particular setup.

When it comes to setting up an engine for forced induction, it really doesn't make much difference whether it's turbo or supercharged. High-compression turbo engines are possible, and high-compression supercharged engines are also possible, but limitations exist for both. The key is in the tuning.

A suitable ECU and fuel system would probably be a great help before you get too adventurous
