anyone ever tried to turbo charge or supercharge a bus engine? anyone know if they sell turbochargers or superchargers for bus engines. I have heard of the judson supercharged engines but i dont think they still make those. I think it would be pretty neat to have a turbo 914. Just imagine looing at the back of a 914 "914 turbo" I've got a few bus engines sitting around here and a few engine-less 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

With a TIV and any forced induction the same issues are still present whether its Turboed or SuperCharged....
I have Supercharged 4 different TIV engines, the most recent for a UK customer to use in a Split window VW Microbus... We got the power, but it took extremes to make the platform solid enough to do so. in 2002 I actually had a TIV Supercharging kit available but pulled it off the shelf after all 3 guys that bought one screwed up the install. Did I mention that Hydro lifters are the worst thing that can be done to a TIV engine????? Well- They are! |
