Supercharging

[Weltmeister]

Any interest on here to work with us in carrying out a Supercharger installation ?

We envisage 7.5 psi boost with a remap/larger injectors/intercooler etc and around 250 BHP and 190Lb-ft of torque but turbo type delivery i.e. an initial hit of torque then holding on to high revs.
We will use a centrifugal type but carefully match the size to capacity/revs etc [We have a novel idea on how to get early delivery of boost]

Sorry my first post is not an informative nugget but we could have an inexpensive alternative avail when this all works.

Whats your company name, website? What background do you have in supercharging cars?

 

[Fred@BTM]

they're a very well know company, i'll let him fill you in as its not my place to say

We have a reasonable amount of experience on forced induction tuning of cars.

The two companies in our little group are to be found at

WRC-Tech are a superb company IMO.

Very recommended. Someone please take them up on their offer!

 

[ChrisR]

Interesting

 

[Craig]

someone do it

 

[edde]

On a stock engine you'd need more than that much boost to get thats sort of HP I'd think.

 

[Fred@BTM]

high comp remember edde

 

[Steve]

G-Lader trophy?

 

[Phill1978]

dependant on price this would be an exellent package for a cliosport big power but no compromise with lag like a turbo. would like to see a pristine clio trophy with SC install though

 

[BenR]

Allan,

You should of mentioned it to James Wolstenholme or Stevo whilst i was up there, you need not look any further.

Hi Ben
We were still playing our cards close at that stage. I also needed to get the suppliers "onside" with some sort of loyalty/exclusivity, as we will be expending the time at our cost to get it right. I would therefore be a little p!$$ed if they then supplied all & sundry.

Are you in then ?

Cheers

Allan

 

[2FST4U]

you can have my car 2 do it on

 

[BenR]

Depending whats on the cards and what sort of development program would be planned, certainly.

I can pop up friday when james is up to talk tech?

What is inexpensive classed as?

 

[eo52vug]

Take mine please sound great to me !

 

[2FST4U]

not want mine then?? lol

 

[kpowell911]

I presume this is fora 172/182?

 

[Weltmeister]

Update

OK chaps. We have 4 or 5 people willing to work with us on this. Whomever is geographically closest to Silverstone would be ideal ?

We are looking at 172 Cup, 182 Cup & 182. The 182 will present issues on aircon etc so we will look at it last. After the 182 we will be looking for a 197 to do. We expect there to be hurdles to overcome, such as routing, plastic manifolds etc etc.

As for price expectations, our aim is to have a "drive in drive out" price in the region of +- c£3500 + vat. Please do not take this as an advert, it is merely in response to a question asked.

Very nice.

Are there any supercharged Clios out there atm ??

 

[Craig]

im sure someone posted on here about doing a supercharged one could be wrong though

 

[Weltmeister]

Very nice.

Are there any supercharged Clios out there atm ??

I am led to believe that someone is either trying to do one or has given up through frustration.

[Englebert]

Someone tried with Rotrex chargers... can't remember the company but their Civic Type R conversion is successful i believe.

Are you opposite the Drift Works boys?

 

[Weltmeister]

We are at Unit 41 Silverstone Circuit. See www.wrc-tech.net and we are looking at using a Rotrex working with the importer, who have a fast Civic Type R and Integra Type R with these on them.

Its been done before the supercharger route by a German compmay £6k as it was TUC approved etc and wasn't hge power stock internals I think.

 

[Inferno]

I've been interested in the supercharger tuning route for a while, c£3,500 appears cheap. The Rotrex unit alone from the states works out at around £1,250. There was a guy on Renaultsport.co.uk that posted the following:

Me:
I saw on a previous thread that you have a supercharged 172, is that correct? If so what supercharger are you using and who did the work?

Cheers,

Him:
It's a modded RSE kit, and a mate who used to work a Williams and prodrive has done all the work, I will get him to pm you with all the details if you want, but.........if your thinking of getting yours done I would think very carefully as it now has so much power it's a pig to drive (no traction control) and shreds tyres without even trying, also can spin the wheels in 3rd and is impossible to hold in a straight line under hard acceleration, imho it was better without it

Oh and it's not cheap........

He quoted a rolling road figure of 238bhp if memory serves.

 

[Floodie]

How will the box cope with the extra power Allan?

Cheers

dont you mean tuv?

 

[PYE21]

TUC approved is from the biscuit people i believe!!!!!

 

[LegoHead]

mr kiplings exceedingly good superchargers.

 

[Weltmeister]

Maybe TUC refers to what the gearbox internals are made from ? Seriously thats why we are looking at Supercharging as its delivery is normally linear to revs and not a big slug of torque like a turbo charger.

We are turbo nutters but realise that the transmission is a weak point on small cars, so they are more suited to a superchargers gentle delivery.

Cheers

Allan

BTW we can offer low rate finance to applicants who meet the criteria on these installs. Usual terms apply, this is not an offer yadda yadda yadda

 

[Winston]

Any scope for 16v or Williams?

 

[Graham Gooch]

TUC is that trade union LOL or those cheese sandwich biscuit things :dead:
