Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

i know but i think i'm gonna do the mechanical mods first as thats what the colt boys are doing

and they are getting 220bhp quite easy!!

they are also removing the PIL to get the boost up to 1.3bar but not keen on that one at the moment

but thanks though - its v kind of you! plus i was waiting for the Jan Sales

Have told you before that IF you are not happy with the result you get your money back and the car goes back to how it was BEFORE I mapped it.
Cant get better than that

Bah! Those noise pale in comparison to the noise of a VW G40/G60 supercharger!!!

they are videos, so they will sound funny. hearing then properly is even more pant wetting!

haha about halfway there in savings Ian. But I've also gotta sort the exterior out to what I want so might be a while yet!

That's down to customer agreeing

Why don't you bring me yours and you can be another happy customer with a super charged smart

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

Ian, when you've got one of these conversions done can we get an onboard video please I can only ifnd one video on youtube with a supercharged smart, and that's a 450 which I don't want

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

that last one is awesome (the other 2 are far too chav tastic)

160mph in around 30secs!! wow!!

shame there isn't more engine whine to give a hint to its power!!

wish the BRAB forfour kept going like the Jag does.....does have a nice wastegate chatter though!

100mph in 13secs is good but the 1.5 engine just doesn't have the grunt

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

I always thought the whine of a supercharger was caused by the toothed drive belt used.
I was lead to believe that the noise was the trapped air escaping between the belt teeth & the pulley teeth & that is why 4"+ belts were used & not multiple v-belts, as people wanted the noise. :redface:

the Jag 4.2 S/C V8 uses a belt that looks like any other drive belt and isnt 4" wide, id say its about 1" wide. its the supercharger itself that makes the noise. we took one off when we were stripping an engine at work and i spun one up and its the blades inside going round
