Superchargers

For the benefit of Snave, I thought I'd start this new topic. Have you seen this link to a blower calculator at the Sprintex site:

I had some discussion with them when I was considering blowing my car. There advice was that the DFW pistons at 9.5:1 would be good for up to 10psi. After that, forged. I have no idea if they have any experience fitting superchargers to Mi16's. They may just be generalising on the cautious side.

Here's a copy of RichW's dyno sheet from the 306gti6 site

 

 

a few threads of interest -

the Kits above would work on a 2.0 Mi or S16 (most I guess would need the GTi6 sump to retain PAS)

 

I'm unsure how close the 1.9 Mi is, I believe most of the brackets wouldnt fit, but it gives you an idea of what's involved and its definitely within the scope of someone with a half decent workshop facility, or the right contacts.
