Fi 0-60??

which forced injection will make the coupe MT faster?
the super charger or the twin turbo? i know it's a general question, and multiple issues can affect this... but just in general... which is faster?
how fast could a vortech SP G35 coupe MT get from 0 to 60?

ha ha - FI will of course be faster than stock! Not many have the means to measure 0-60 times, so 1/4 mile times is all you will see around here...

With fast cars especially on FI'ed car 0-60 is pointless coz you'll be there in seconds plus no body stop racing after 60mph. The standard is pretty much 1/4 mile time, but to answer your question then yes FI'ed car are faster than stock.

If you only want to race 0-60 then a Root type supercharger will be good for you since race are finished just after 2nd gear or mid 3rd. Most turbo don't hit full boost on 1st so they won't get their full power until 2nd+ gear, but that can be a good thing for traction. Either way to many factor to consider for various type of FI kit.

According to an 1/8th mile calculator, I hit 0-60 mph in 3.77 seconds.

Your avatar is sexually attractive 98intrique. And, I wish mine went 0-60 in 3.77, haha...

But yeah, from what I've read and what AthenG said, I would assume S/C would be better than turbo for 0-60, heh. I guess just buy both and test it out.

I think you better do alot more research; im assuming you are very new at this by the questions you asked.

Most FI G/Z owners don't really care about 0-60 unless they love bench racing. Too many factors to include in 0-60; and it only shows you a tiny bit of what the car can do. Not only that, but many FI owners have issues with traction.

Turbo has the upper hand in power potential; SC's are considered more daily driveable; that's not to say TT isn't DD, but it seems as if SC is less of a hassle as compared to TT in regards to maintenance & stock blocks.

Set your priorities, and then choose. And... do alot more research

Goodluck!

OK - so if your MT - either the SC or TT kit will yield you close to the same results. As you can get your RPM to power and spooling bands quicker, you'll also have severe traction issues on both accounts.

You'll have less traction issues with the SC, which CAN yield better 0-60 times - however, if your running slicks, at a track, have excellent traction and launch, your 0-60 will likely be best on the TT, as all your HP and TQ will be there pretty much at the release of your clutch pedal.

So - to compare 0-60 times - is generally useless. On average, FI cars will shave 1-2 sec. off of factory 0-60 times.

According to my well-calibrated GTech on a VERY straight piece of road... I used to get 4.1 0-60 at only 7psi boost on a stock motor (about 380whp wiith an auto)...with my current MT setup and 460/460 hp/trq, i get 3.6sec 0-60 (with horrible traction through first). And I do have the 5AT 3.357 FD ratio.

thanks for the response guys...
i really haven't done alot of research on this... i just asked the time for time for 0-60 because thats how the quickness of cars are measured on megazines... and websites...
