...like whacking a turbo on the end of that longman's box
#302: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:13 pm ---- i've had ideas of a super charge in front of the TB's but then thats just creating a restrictive inlet manifold so the TB's would just be in the way and a waist of money lol
#303: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:17 pm ---- I'm not entirely sure that would work particularly well with a roots charger!
#304: Re: Project sleeper Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:32 pm ---- I think it needs to be a rotrex/blower style supercharger! Hence why i just said turbo
#305: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:36 pm ---- Yep rotrex can work
I've seen it somewhere but can't put my finger on where....
The best thing about supercharging is that it needs less electrical customisation than turbo'ing.
Almost doubling the power and I can still keep the standard ECU, right up to the limit of that charger which is about 310bhp.

#307: Re: Project sleeper Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:40 pm ---- There was a guy on here who had a TB'd and turbo'd gti-180 done by DP engineering i think. He was on here before the site went down.
#308: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:45 pm ---- Is there an echo in here?
#309: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:46 pm ---- Besides, turbo's are for show offs who like whoosh whoosh noises. /end thread
#310: Re: Project sleeper Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:47 pm ---- haha! that's the one Jamie! I do prefer a supercharger myself Seb. I do want so all donations to Brian please...£5/6k is the target
Sport relief for Brian!
#311: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:57 pm ---- Lol! You can have mine when I'm finished with it... for a fair bit less than what I paid for it

Good to see Edward. Without wanting to sound harsh, but perhaps you may have been anticipating too much from the mods. Either way it looks great, and a very nice project for someone like me to read.
Looking at the reviews in both EVO and Cars and Car Conversions I expected the car to be great on the road but the cam choice obviously left the engine a little more peaky than expected.
I would like to think a little bit of the top end power could be sacrificed in order to gain more torque low down though by changing the cam timing.
#314: Re: Project sleeper Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 8:54 am ---- Ah I'm sure some of it can be reclaimed yes, all completely dependant on the cams though I would guess! Though I'm not in the know on those specific ones.
