  • Superchargers vs. Turbos, again, part 2

    Quote from edwardaneal

    so, for the uneducated here, what exactly is the difference from a drivers point of view? if we have two identical Slingshots with one having a DDM Supercharger with 6 pounds of boost and the other has a DDM turbocharger with 6 pounds of boost. If I didnt know which was which and you let me drive both wearing ear plugs blocking the sound what would be the obvious things that I would notice that were different in the driving experience from one to the other?

    Each boosted unit delivers power differently. If I'm not mistaken...The turbo will give you a surge of power, whereas the SC gives you consistent power through the revs. The SC is a reliable...more issues can arise with the turbo. I chose SC because of the sporty driving I like to do. I love both types...

  • Front tire

    I am going to search for a couple SLR rear rims and tires. Put them up front and go for a spin...in the spring...sadly. The down time will let me do some searching.

    I think @Lui is correct, BUT, I don't think I'd give up my Turbo. It's a different beast and you do need to learn how to drive differently with it, but once you learn that, it's just second nature and I LOVE putting my foot on the gas and having the thing jump. I also like having the thing drive like stock and not be using all my gas until I want it to. It becomes very second nature. I do think there is some risk to it as a bit more can go wrong maybe, but that's what gauges are for. Maybe you don't need the gauges with a SC, but it would drive me nuts not having them as I like to know what the machine is doing. So I'd say it's a highly personal thing... and everyone knows Turbos are better anyway :POKESS:

    So...turbos better? LoL , I love individuality. I am in process of installing a set of BOW gauges from Autometer. I am making a custom gauge pod... that is taking forever...sadly. There again...the individuality we have, making our rides... OURS!!! I leave you with this thought... I like steak and you like hotdogs... LoL

  • Front tire

    I was tinkering on my sling...and a thought came to mind. Would/could, a 305 tire fit on the front? Again... it's just a pondering thought.

    Hi All, I have a DDM SC. I love the results. I believe that, if you want to be one with the vehicle, your foot and the throttle need to be somewhat in sync. I want to have "consitant and reliable power", and the SC delivers it when I need it. Yes...the turbo systems are good. Yes they are quieter. IMO they aren't as reliable when it comes to the increased possibility of motor self destruction.

  • Do I see Velocity seats in this?

    IMO...if you need to run around in the city...ok...let's see what happens with a long road trip...more than half an hour? And...their price point isn't all that good...for what you get?

  • Oil Pressure Gauge

    Hi TravAZ, I got the manifold out. Yes it is pretty easy...but...you can tell that the motor was in before the body, because of the zip ties locations...arg. Thanks for the help. CHEERS!

  • Intake manifold removal

    Hi All, I am installing an oil pressure gauge, which requires me to remove the intake manifold, to get at the oem sensor. My question is...what is the correct procedure of doing this? Cheers

  • Oil Pressure Gauge

    Hi Travis, I am going to take your advise and remove the intake. Are there any precautions an tricks involved removing the intake?
