What would anyone reckon to a super charger wacked on top of my v6 there's a few on YouTube and wow I searched it on you tube as I was thinking about doing it doesn't look to. Hard to do and on you tube they reckon 320 bhp I'm only after your views then I'll price the charger up I no for a type r it's 2000 fitted

its been well discused before, general opinion is not to bother. Easier, cheaper to put a V8 in. V6 has cooling issues, which would need to be addressed to get any serious gains in performance.

If you feel like doing it, you've the money, time & knowledge then go for it

It'll be interesting to see the results

A bit more research before I do that's if I do
 but the cooling issuses do u mean on the standard engine or with a supercharger they do look good on YouTube and sound nice
v8 there's a thought wat power we looking at with a v8 

[tunnie]

cooling the standard V6 lump itself is the issue, quite a few threads on turbo / supercharging, all come to the same conclusion. Given GM themselves almost put the 5.7 V8 in, and there are full specs for it, i'd go that route

Superchargers may well give your car the wow factor,but ive heard all stories about them regarding reliability issues,mainly pullys snapping.Another thing is it really worth spending that on a car thats probably worth half that,been there and done it mate,and never again,put your money to a few nice subtle mods,and make it look the dogs danglies.

You will have to excuse the grammer I'm on my phone Internet
Yeah I do see what your getting at it's 2.500 well what I've priced so far and a few drinks for my mate to help me fit it all for a kit I cud get another miggy for that I think it's just the wow factor of being one of a few v6 with a supercharger but if they go wrong then that's alot of wonger to have somthing break plus I would love a stainless pipe from the downpipe back maybe even decat it anyone no what the power increase is on a decat and don't worry bout the mot there's away just hope I don't get pulled lol

plus I love my estate at the moement and spent so much allready I think I'm going away from the super charger now unless I can get one cheap
