'Rado VR6

Hiya mate i think this is the link your after, its worth looking into http://www.kewengineering.co.uk/upgrade ... arging.htm Whate engine has yor mate got in his cally?

I'm in Ardsley, don't tell me your local too? You going to the CCGB meet on Sunday? Ha ha ha! yeah im in Cudworth, im guessing there are a few of us then, lol. am gonna try and get down a couple of very kind users on here have invited me and gave me their number, but ive only been on here about a week and dont have a 'rado yet, im just finishing off my 4 year Mk2 Astra GTE project. Ive just come back from donny and got @r$eholed by a 'rado! he he.

Nice 1! i love it! you got any pics mate?

Designing and fitting a system is a commitment in its self entailing god knows how long developing such a thing. as far as cost i dont think it would cost much at all i mean were talking a powerful fan and thats more or less it, just bolt on as apose to mating a mechanical unit up to the cars auxiliry drive. the unit wouldnt run off the battery as the car will be running when in use therefore not using stored power. Btw were abouts in barnsley are you? :wave:

Yeah this is it, its a subject tackled throughout most forums at some point, its hard to muster the air flow needed but is possible. i had a design for one last year that runs about 45,000 rpm still yet to test it. interesting concept either way.

To be honetst im a fan of old school N/A tuning I.E. headwork, cams, induction and exhaust. but i have looked into electric superchargers (not the egay tat) and there are some suprising developments! as long as the unit is in-line to the intake and before the AFM (so the ECU can register the larger volume of air pressure and compensate with fuel) its just a case of calculating standard air rate drawn in throughout the rev range and finding a motor powerful enough to exceed it to make a difference. Basically your talking a motor the size of your fist producing almost 25,000 rpm to make any significant difference!!! (bearing in mind a powerful angle grinder produces half that!!) but it is possible and worth looking into!
