reCOUPErator Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 sorry if there is a post asking this somewhere else, but all i could see is a 4A question! well I'm gettin a ke35 coupe with a 2t (slight head work etc) and a t50! and am concidering supercharging it so i don't have to do internal work! have talked to a mechanic at work who knows a guy who has done this, and reakons i could do it fair easy! i work at a holden dealer so i can get almost any car parts at trade price or cheaper throught different places, which will help cos i wont have a huge budget! anyways i was wondering what comments or tips people may have when i decide to do it! planning to maybe drift or race it occasionally! thanks Lee Quote
Felix Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 go for it. i'd work out your current compression ratio before aiming for a specific boost level. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 Just pump 20 or 30 psi into it...and have a great time for a few hours :) But seriously, if you only run low boost, any decent condition standard engine will handle it reasonably well Quote
irokin Posted April 14, 2006 Report Posted April 14, 2006 The 2Ts standard have a compression ratio of 8 or 8.5 to 1 so it should be perfect for boosting. Theyve got a hemi head but I'm not sure how good it is (Ive had problems with pinging on a standard one). Theres a forged crank but you'll blow up the pistons or rods first anyway. Quote
