I recommend asking Roly about that as he has mounted an FMIC to two mk2s already
yeh of course mate, was thinking if i do it and pull it off, i'll be the only supercharged cupra sport
yeh 230-250ish brake is what i'm after nothing mental, that'll be enough anyway, with the eaton soundtrack in the background

then that my friend you will need to go down the turbo route....easiest way - 20vt transplant
an eaton charger simply wont be able to put out the same power as the IHI boys, unfortunately that is just an unrealistic target mate
Yeah, was just going to mention that, as most IHI'd boys on here are running around the 320 BPH mark. But that kinda power seems silly in a FWD car. IMO 240BHP is probably the highest you really want to go if you want usable power.
Well I've been in the library for the past 18 hours straight trying to revise, and got about another hour to go. Then to bed for 3.5 hours and back to the library for 7am Got a crappy materials Exam tomorrow (well today really) at 12:30pm. Rest of the people are probably just complete insomniacs

Lol, I know that feeling. I mean because of my exams I've gone for 3 weeks without going out getting mashed, washing the car, watching TV, yet SOMEHOW I seem to find myself logging onto here 5 times a day. Honestly if this site wouldn't exist I think my marks would go up by a good couple of grades
Who needs sleep when you have a 6pack of Asda's own knock off Red Bull
lol i went to get some sleep if that was ok, not that hardcore of me i know
i think with the right mods, the absolute most you coul get out of the m62 charger would be 300bhp. But that would be ported and polished head, and inlet manifold, Audi S2 interals, lightened flywheel, lightened and balanced bottom end, Smaller toothed pullies on the charger, toothed belt conversion, remappable ECU, maybe some nitrous (small shot - 25bhp) and a few other things.
But as mentioned before in a FWD car that is wasted in corners, as clarkson called it once with the Astra VXR - "the chaos theory" the front wheels wouldnt be able to cope and you would go through tyres like underwear

last car was running 240bhp with 279lbft
it was "more" than enough on a FWD car, anymore IMO, and also a mate who is running the same car at the time also agreed
more than that figure it makes the car very undriveable, and a nightmare in the wet
300bhp out of an M62 might just be achievable on a good day, and yes with the mods you mentioned above, but that is alot of money.....for that you could almost go with an IHI transplant
still, it would certianly be different
Chris where are you going to go to get all this done, as I am watching with keen interest now?
are you going to get a fully mappable ECU like megasquirt? are you fitting this all your self and seeking professional help i.e. Vince from Stealth Racing for example or another pro tuner?
EDIT * i see you are in Kingston, just literally down the road from me*

i'm planning things out atm, theres a guy in north london (the guy off ed38) who said that he would help me, he did all of his himself and knows his ****. Yeh i'm gna run a megasquirt ECU.
was tlking to a guy that used to work at mercedes now, and the chargers of the CLK 230 etc arent eatons, the only merc that used an eaton was the SLK55 AMG, and CLK 55 AMG, the expensive ones. I'm still looking though. Might M45 it, at 19 200bhp will be more than ample, and then when i get older, something more creative, i want the sound, and the boost

what charger do they use on jaguar v8s? seen one on ebay, might work, but they're 4.2 litre v8s lol, twice the capacity of mine

Not sure but the Jag chargers are probably going to be pretty massive, making it pretty much impossible to fit into an already cramped valver engine bay.
