There's a few obvious changes, but my guess is there's a lot more to it. Could any of the newer factory setups be adapted to fit my engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I haven't seen anyone mention what I would have considered fundamental to this mod. What about the normally aspirated compression ratio?
Wouldn't it limit the amount of boost you can dial in? I'd have thought it to need lower compression pistons. |

I'd have thought it to need lower compression pistons. That is my assumption. I don't really see the benefit to add a turbo to a 10.5:1 compression engine only to be severely limited by the amount of boost i can run. Lowering the compression really is a must, IMHO.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) +1 No question either a supercharger or turbo(s) need less compression. I kind of like the idea of a supercharger, for one primary reason. They are putting them on lots of cars and you won't be the pilot project. Also all the fuel maps will have already been worked out...developing fuel maps is expensive. If money was no object I'd change my pistons and heads and bolt one on. Even my dinky motor would be good for probably 275 plus.. Might not last long, but torque is everything and superchargers will rip your tires off. |
