DaweV6 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 would take the engine out and put it in another car Put it on a testbed first. Wouldn't trust engine building skills of somebody who has such profound sense of taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan1.8si Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I need to go get a mini supercharger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Compression hasnt been lowered at all, meaning you could get an engine specced exaclty like that one for pittence, then there is no need to fork out for the rubbish fiesta attatched to it....But would you trust a forced induction zetec with normal compression..

Stu Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 can you fit a dump valve to a supercharger?!?!? You typically run a different style of diverter valve with a supercharger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caled Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think, before this thread descends into complete farce, everybody (ok, not everybody) should read... How Turbos work How Superchargers work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_2f2f Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Adding a supercharger is a great way to achieve forced air induction. Superchargers are powered mechanically by belt- or chain-drive from the engine's crankshaft. EscortJas was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
