?

so how much power do you think you would get from a 2.0 8v gti using the same components that your using to supercharge yours?

bit of a development (a good one though) i took the charger to ace cafe and nando (the guy helping me) told me it isnt the ordinary run of the mill M45............................

i've only gone and bought the John Cooper S-Works charger, cermamic coated screws, and the screws are a different shape. This means more boost. Looking at maybe 1 Bar of boost pressure and maybe 230bhp :D that's 100bhp gain over a 1.8 16v standard

also the ADL lump might not need the compression reduced, just checking on this, but that saves taking the head apart to put the twin g60 gaskets in :D

looking good so far, got underpaid this month so a couple of parts will have to wait, ordered a smaller pulley, and the inlet and outlet flanges

awesome, were trying to find the figures, thanks mate

fuel pressure is 3.0bar + fuel injectors are 15-20 ohm springs to mind - dunno why

i have all the engine spec somewhere at work / bore/stroke etc etc if you need anything like that just ask

yeh on the first page of this thread there is a list of what i need, mines a 1.8 16v though, the ADL lump, not the ABF, i dont know what differs between the 2 lumps. Some of the parts are hard to find (rocking horse poo) and the eaton brackets need to be custom made, also u'll need an m62 (harder to get than the m45, not as rare as my M45 though :D)

I wanna be the only supercharged mk2 beeza in the village

damnit! i've got my eye on an m45 at the moment as well :(

Could you ask Nando if the ABF is a similar ordeal for me please. I guess a few things may differ such a the Megasquirt 1 EMS V3 Spark extra with loom and the 317cc or higher injetors being it a 2.0, could be wrong tho :)

If all goes wrong i've got a CBR400RR to finance it all :D
