supercharged 2.2

[Wraith]

i currently have no plans to do anything like this

was just wondering it anyone in aus would try something this bold

i'd rather buy BR's car than do get something like this done too, but thats unfortunately not an option for me at the moment

That's fair enough

It has come up and been discussed many times before, no ones done it though...

The only over the top forced induction make over is Mr Corsa' car

[glider]

is there an actual link to mr corsa's car? i've had a bit of a look but havent managed to see one (apart from his recent dyno sheet)

[kabel]

The current issue of Performance Tuner Magazine has an extensive
write up on this same car.

Its been tried by someone here before *Rolls Eyes*
It never got finished as $$$ was Low & Shit kept Breaking, it become a money pit.

Just buy an Mr2 supercharger from a toyota wreckers, they price around 100-150 dollars and cpc do intake kits cheap too. Its the latest commonwhore v6 trend around here

enjoy a "no lag" performance that sounds like a jet.

Exactly, buy an astra turbo.




(If anyone says an astra turbo has lag then there is one of two things: the person clearly has never driven one, or the astra has some serious issues. Ask any jap turbo driver where they hit full boost, normally around 3k, but the astra is on full wail by 1900rpm!)

yeah home made fabrication is the way to go.... you have the added bonus of learning stuff about cars at the same time

but yeah, i would probably get more enjoyment out of 6000gbp worth of hookers and cocaine

astra does not have lag but u can still feel a boost of power at about 3k.

was having a look at one of the uk tuners and noticed this thing:

resulting in:

reckon any company over here do that kinda stuff if parts were imported?



i know a turbo car is cheaper, just asking the question

You can buy the S/C and inlet manifold as a kit from the USA ..

The price of Courtenay's kit includes labor don't forget ..

The biggest challenge in Aus with doing a S/C conversion is not getting the parts, it's the z22se ECU. As far as I know there are no tuning places in Australia that are capable of properly re-mapping the ECU. That might change depending on what Courtenay's ProTech unit is capable of...

At the moment Courtenay bolt on an external ECU to control 2 extra injectors for on-boost fuelling. If done properly a re-mapped OEM ECU would work just as well. A more realistic option for Aus would be a fully-mappable external ECU.

A S/C Astra in the UK is doing about 184kW at the flywheel (which will give most turbos a run for their money). But further to the cost of doing the S/C upgrade are things like bigger brakes, stronger diff, better tyres etc..

All things considered I wouldn't expect to see much change out of $10,000 for doing a S/C conversion .. but paraphrase Gordon Ramsay, "**** me it'd be a ****ing fun car to drive"

[glider]

are the US engines mounted the same way as our engines?

if you could get the appropriate ecu fix, that us kit would be fun

==edit==

seen a pic, they are mounted the same way, however their air box is where our coolant tank sits, so the battery would have to be moved to perhaps connect a pod to the supercharger
