[Welsh g60 0]

Out of interest could any1 tell me how easy it would be/ whats involved in supercharging a 2.0 16v C, is it worth doing?

Loads of work!

but the end result? :D

why dont you just get a G60? or get a g60 and do a 16v conversion. Probably be easier that way!

either way it is a ton of work. bahn brenner makes a awesome kit for a 16v g60. little high on price, but they make quality parts, good customer support, knowledgable staff. here is the link for the kit:

they are based in auburn washington USA. this is probably what i am going to end up doing to my car someday...nothing like getting over 300BHP from a 4 cyl. =]

I think that vast expanse of ocean is a bit of a prohibiting factor for using Bahn Brenner for most of us in the UK, other than for mail order parts of course :)

You can get the conversion kits in Germany from around 1450-1500 EUR and up

I did all the work myself which improud off

Is it wise to supercharge a C VR6, I got another coming and would be very interested if the gains are in your face :?:

ur best bet is to talk to Guy with the supercharged storm as he will be able to tell u everything about it

alex...what did you need then to do this all yourself? obviously head work to get 2ltr block to 2.1ltrs...but what else? a 50mm inlet manifold? which supercharger..

Sounds great, shame i won't get to say hello and thanks for me rear lights from ages ago.

the engine was built by a proffesional about 2 1/2 years ago for supercharging but as i havent had time to get round to it took a while but i did all the modifications to put a charger on the 16v engine.

 

The biggest prob is putting the alternator under the charger and getting the pulleys fitting perfect but ive done it :)

 

as for the engine to be 2.1 its done with bigger pistons the head has nothign to do with the cc of a engine

 

And yes im running a 50mm inlet and its a g60 superchager

 

I will be at inters as i have a stand there but the car wont be
