Good explanation cem thanks for that.

So presumably cost vs return is going to be rubbish then??? 

no real point surely?

easier and cheaper to get bigger engine than boat anchor v6

I must note, many stock engines are tuned for economical purposes and for some legal requirements , so their athmospheric efficiencies are low compared to race engines..  take older bmw m3 e46 as an example ..
 
it has 3.2 litre volume and its athmospheric.. but it produces 343 hp .. compare this to omega 3.2 , its a big difference.. most of this difference comes from the air inlet and exhaust setup (including throttle,cams , valves and other apparatus) ..

trust me racers spending megabucks for 1/10 of a second   with an omega engine comparingly
you are in a comfortable cheapo gains zone .. 1.5-2 seconds is a big big difference

my cousin did top fuel funny cars and the engines cost 70 000 plus but did produce about 4000+ hp

those engines will spend our monthly salary worth of fuel just in a quarter mile drag

and of course its hard to tell why we spend money  to UK members .. because they can buy a 3.2 or even a more powerful car very cheaply.. thats not the case here..

what sort of cost would be to the OP to do this? assuming that labour is free as he'll do it himself?

I cant make any guess as its a different country ..
 
but here those mods and forced induction will cost around 4-5k£ minimum if things go as planned..

wow. that's a lot for only bringing the 0-60 time down from 9.5 to 7.5

nope.. the estimated money is for forced induction (0.5 bar alone will give roughly half of your power regarding power loss on drive train) and other mods together where the gains will be more than a 100 bhp.. and 0-60 time will be around 6.0-6.5 seconds (as a rough estimate).. if you consider the price of a brand new "posh" bimmer making 0-60 in that time, this money not that much

As already stated, in Denmark he cannot do that

brakes,supesion and so on is already converted to steinmetz kompressor specifikations.
