Supercharger would be  alot easier

Post by: PaulW on 06 December 2008, 17:56:08
this for the 2.5??

I agree with Martin, the charger would be a simpler approach :)

You'd need to sort the cooling out, also an external oil cooler with thermal switching plate (so keeping the old oilcooler aswell) would help...

Piggy back the current ECU with a GoTech or something similiar...

simpler answer, albeit more expensive, transpalnt a lotus carlton lump in there, suprised it aint been done yet seeing as the 2 cars are identical chassis and suspension wise

I did some contract work at the Garrett factory in Skelmersdale many moons ago there were bins full of "blowers" all over. the ones they made for trucks were huge.

Garrett!!  Did someone mention Garrett?! :o :o

This is a Garrett I would love and recognise:

(http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk247/lizziefreeman/6042_loco_06.jpg)

This is a Australian version, but like the South African and Indian versions, they were great engines in the main :-* :-*.

They were experimented with by two British railway companies.  The Beyer Garrett  4 cylinder 2-6-0 + 0-6-2 LMS ones of 1927 were not so good, suffering from poor design features like inadequate axle and bearing surfaces and short travel valves. :'( :'(

1925 Gresley / Beyer Garratt LNER 6 cylinder 2-8-0 + 0-8-2 version was better, but had too large a great area for the one fireman used.  ::)

T25 is also used in the rover 820 Vitesse Sport!

you should have 2x turbos to balance the v6s exhaust system  ;)

Supercharging is easier im going to try it in the new yr on the MV6

seen a C30SE Senny engined miggy with a massive turbo on it at PVS a few yrs ago belonged to a chap in leeds

dont really need to :-S
if you have the money then you could get the same power as the LC... i'd only need a second t25 and some engine work (if only it were that simple)
