supercharger on an Mi 16

[WEREWOLF]

Daft question but can it be done?

[sorrento205]

yes. Eaton M45 wont be easy, be better off with a rotrex or similar but they are more expensive.

[sniff petrol]

God no! I can't keep up your car already!

Got a list of to do`s as long as my arm.

Think you'll get more than an extra 38bhp from a 'charger - aren't you up to 182 already?

If it were me and wanted more power than you already have then I'd look at a twin 45mm carb set-up (about £500) or throttler bodies (about £1500). Reckon you'd be up to about 200bhp on TBs and still be nice and drive able on the road. If however you've been offered a nice cheap Rotax then that alters the playing field.

No track days booked or planned yet. Going to get mine rolling roaded as the carbs haven't been touched in the last 4 years and it's since had a piper cam fitted so could probably be a bit more power to find. Might start looking into what it would take to get road legal.

You going to the Autosport show? I've got a spare ticket for the Saturday if you want it Paul.

Hi Rich
Yes going on saturday.Work commitments preventing you going?
Think top of my list will be a dry sump.Having totally rebuilt engine don`t want it blowing up due to oil surge.The baffled sump is ok at the moment but you never know.Trouble is big £££.

[TEKNOPUG]

Yeah, it's been down quite a few times - there is even one for sale on PH now.

I'd go turbo personally.

I'm there on Sat, displaying the 964 in hall 12. Hoping it'll generate some interest for sale.

I thought you'd already had your engine rebuilt not so long ago? Sounds like you're planning to spend some serious money - is Martin doing the work again this time?

[WEREWOLF]

Hi Rich

The engine`s not been touched since martin last had it, hence want to protect a great engine with the dry sump.I try to get fleabay bargains etc. were poss but on this occasion i think i`ll have to dig deep.If it`s a cost versus grin factor thing, the grin factor wins every time.
Am going tomorrow so will have a look at your 964 in hall 12.Call me on 07989371259 if you want to met up for a coffee/beer.
