That’s right I said it... supercharged. I've caught a lot of shit from the local 240 guys here for even thinking of doing it because they said its pointless, cost too much, and no real power gain. My answer was really that going turbo, supercharged, or nitrous just depends on what your goals are, and to help end the argument of turbo or supercharged (considering it’s hardly been done, so there is no real numbers out there). My goals are to get more out of the low end and give a little bit to the higher end. Cost is also a factor in this, I was first worried that the fact a lot of custom fab would have to be done, but kind of realized I can do most of this at home with the tools I have. Here is what I have planned so far.
Procharger c2- self lubed means no oil lines to tap and less heat going to the motor.
Thicker head gasket- help lower compression
Intercooler- obvious reasons
Larger injectors- not really sure yet, still researching
Fuel pump upgrade
Fuel pressure regulator
Ecu upgrade- still not sure which
Greddy radiator
Dual electric fans
Possible head work- low compression for safe boost.
Right now it looks like the cost will be around the same doing a turbo setup
I also expect a 40-60% HP and run at 7-9psi.
and now some photo...
Procharger C2
possible set ups...
if i do this one then i will do a v-mount with the intercooler and radiator
this might be a little harder to do sence the ka is pushed that far back, but then again the supercharger is no where near and big as that one.
I will keep you guys updated as it comes.
