has anoyone on here turbocharged or supercharged a no turbo/supercharged car??


im looking to get the most out my engine without a transplant, so i just need to know what needs doing thnks

Dead easy mate, just buty a supercharger and bolt it on!!!!

so if i want to superchargemine i wdnt have to lower the compresion or anything with fueling


just bolt one in, intercooole nd get the forced air to go through my air mas metre/??

Funk knows mate, i was joking!!!

I have no idea!!!!!

ha ha fer enough lool

Its not straight foreward, youll be rebuilding your engine doing it Rhys, im no expert but i do know that something needs to be done with the compression and pistons

Much better doing a transplanet, making a n/a engine into a forced induction engine is far too much for most people. Up rating internals, lowering compression, etc etc...

ye true, in my list for conversions i have
either a g60 unit
or 16v abf as their both 160 bhp standard

the g60 wd b a straight sawp


the abf im not tht sure with the mounts

getting a g60 is your best bet mate.. straight swap in yours.. guy is breaking one down by me could be worth getting the engine and loom outta that..

or you could put g60 rods and pistons in yours to lower compression then plumb in a super charger.. im sure you would have to then do something with the ecu and stuff so maybe stand alone engine management, so probably cheaper to buy g60 stuff

U'll be able to supercharge ur 8v without doing major mods to it. As long as u keep the boost under 6psi or so, and just add another headgasket will drop the compression to a safer amount.

eatons out of a mini coopers S are used alot. Just need to run stand alone ecu so you can set everything up to run with the charger.

1.6 16v's are standard 125 an people have got 190s with no engine work. just the above an basic things.

and the 8v are pretty much bullit proof so shud cope with it abit easier

how much u recon the guy wd sell engine nd loom??

just checked and he wants £150 for the engine.. so thats your lower compression sorted..

if i wanted to tune a mk2 on a budget that is the route id go as stand alone management gets expensive with remaps and setup and with the limit on how much boost you can use its kind of false economy in my opinion, whereas £150 for an engine thats built to take a pounding from a charger is value.. ..

well yeah, didnt say it was the best option. But it wud be fun to do

so the guy wants 150 quid for the engine and loom?

u recon u could find out the millage and wat would be included with the engine ???

ok mate let us know how you get on

It is possible to do.

would be easier to fit a larger pulley to the charger to lower boost created or failing that use a charger desinged for "small" engines.

a supercharger such as the AMR350 or 500 would work.

it was fitted originally to the Nissan March Super Turbo i had one of these engines in my kia pride and this was before i knew of the G40.



It also had a turbo on it just to make sure.

cool,

ill hopefully go for a g60 unit in my wagan


or an abf, it enough power nd iits a 16v

but the amazing thing bout a g60 u can get a bigger pully nd chip nd its instant 210 hp well good

there is also a low-boost toyota supercharger with an electric clutch fitted so you can switch it on/off as you want.

right you know alot aout cars (ure a mechanic or....)

what exactly wd i need for a supercharger or turbo?

my uncles a mechanic, or turbo mostly important thing he said was just lower the compression with a thicker head gasket
nd get an oil feed

i know a 16v, but he went the proffesional way with raing pistons, cranks and all tht jazz

theres alot of work in both it isnt as hard as you think as long as u run sensible boost
matt

id like to run a small boost like 10-13 psi like standard turbo cars run

what i want basically is arround 170 bhp, tht wont be drastic on fuel, reliable, and good 0-60 and good for overtaking
and tht it can eat silly 106gtis nd saxo vts, cus they think their all that but the ermans as i recall took over the french befre ha ha
