2.5klze swap or supercharged 1.8 at 8 psi

[Sean Mandell]

which one would be faster and can the 1.8 take 8 psi on stock internals?

[Evil G]

The 1.8 could take 8PSI on stock internals, providing:<P>a) It is intercooled efficiently<BR>b) The A/F ratios are sweet<BR>c) There is no detonation (follows B really)<P>This should put you over 200HP with the 1.8, with a great increase in low end torque. <BR>My bet would be that the 1.8 is gonna be quicker supercharged than the 2.5 KLZE stock. However it's obvious which one has more potential.

I heard that the klze is a good swap but It seems that the mx-3 has grip factors with all that torque and the supercharger on a 1.8 will be easier to put the power to the ground then a 2.5 supercharged. I'd like to hear davids opinion as he has the swap and I know that for about the same money I could customize a vortech supercharger on my 1.8.
