Supercharging Mi16

[hcmini1989 16]

hi can anyone tell me wheather i could run a supercharger on a mi16 only keeping the boost low or would i have to fit decompression plate ,pistons etc i can only find 8v conversions and it doesnt really say anything about the compression

being to high thanks for any help

cheers mate i only looked in projects didnt think to look in there

it's quite feasible with a Rotrex on a standard compression engine, to run over 250bhp

Its also very possible with an M45 on a standard compression engine to run over 250bhp. Ask AllanAllen.

and at a quarter of the price

In honesty, the power curve of each would be totally different. It's very difficult to compare. just giving a peak number doesn't tell the story. I'm a big fan of the Rotrex supercharger

All you gave was a peak number though? Whats the difference in the power curve between a Rotrex and an Eaton on an MI16 then?

you've totally misread the tone of my post, i was simply stating they're dramatically different in behaviour. That just means the suitability of application is different

 

an Eaton will give you a lot of torque early on, the Rotrex will be smoother in it's delivery with a lower peak torque figure, but the boost wont disappear up the revs. For track the Rotrex is the better charger, but sure the Eaton will make you a quick car.

No i didnt, i thought you had direct experience with fitting both and had comparable figures to post.

Oh right, thought you had direct experience with fitting both.

 

Tuned an maintained an Eaton equiped Viper for some time. Made phenominal torque!!!! but the owner wasn't happy with the power. It was something like 530bhp and 650 lb/ft. It's currently being converted to twin Rotrex C38 chargers (same setup as the koenigsegg cxx) with a target of 1000bhp. Sadly I'm not involved with that project anymore

Sorry the post you have quoted was a bit vague and ive edited it to clarify what im getting at. I was more referring to two reasonably comparable 16v lumps with either charger.
