Guest DougK Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 My buddy supercharged his 240... he proved me wrong when I told him "sure but why" lol.But... you could super an 850 but why? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legbend Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 supercharging an 850 seems kind of like a waste. the most reaction you'll get is "hmm... i guess thats neat"everyone else would be like "why? they come turbo from the factory??!?!?!"when s/c's can push 8-12psi, the stock turbos are pushing more than that. you'd have to have a higher compression engine to make up for the missing psi. thats a shitton of work, just to catch up to the factory turbo systems; whether it's raising compression or increasing displacement.hell, it'd probably be cheaper to buy the S60R engine.

Nebor Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Quick question, is the S60R engine coil on plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DougK Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 yeah, buy the time your done←So you'd basicly have a car thats as fast as an LPT s70?Nebor: All me7 cars and newer are coil on plug. (Except the 960... it was CoP for some reason too... probably firewall clearance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebor Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I was always baffled by the inclusion of Coil on Plug on the 960, when the 850R that I drove at the time was still using plug wires.Is there any real advantage to Coil on Plug? It just seems needlessly complex and expensive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAVolvo Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Supercharger? In a 850? hmmmm....perhaps an electric one...but there again, you would be losing power somewhere just to get it running. If you can come up with it, more power to ya.The only way to go in my opinion is to turbocharge it, just $3000 plus labor and your on your way.Good luck! PEACE!

Legbend Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 From my 9/04 European Car Magazine:The Tracksport Mk2 Golf had a supercharged and turbo'd 1.8T with a clutch to disengage the charger when the turbo gets up to speed.PEACE DUDES!

Also theres no rotor/plug wires to zap some voltage away... its about as direct as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 i came into this one too late. Ive seen a few cars "twin charged" and not only is it not as hard as you think, its not bad for the engine. the supercharger will only spool as fast as your engine is running the belt. All of the cars ive seen it done on were drift cars, where it makes more sense to need the immediate wheel spinning power than in real life. on a front wheel drive daily driver i would stick to nos.

PyROTech Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 fwd and mad low end make poor sense to me. Yet if you could tune for just after you get off the line the effects would be great. Yes fine you could put drags on the front, and not be able to turn the car but. I love highway killers and basically anything just passed the turbolag lol :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 reasons to supercharge=power curves, no turbo lag... more stable(especially after seeing the troubles all you guys have tuning ur turbos) and running 12psi supercharged on 10.5:1 CR(NA) vs 15psi on a turbo'd 8.5:1 motor the blown motor will def. be faster w/ a easier to use power(throttle response etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
