what do you reckon they power gain is on one of those for my 1.8 sohc?

twilightprotege · 11-03-2008, 10:15 PM

that can most certainly fit.

the way you'd do it is mount it above the gearbox and have a torque bar linking the belts from the driver's side to the pass side. hell you could even get creative and develop an adapter for the dizzy that moves it out a certain distance, then you put a pulley there to run the SC.

so in other words, yes it can be done. you just have to think outside the square

Putonyourshoes · 11-03-2008, 10:28 PM

agreed. do it

Love that site

Cincinnatus · 11-03-2008, 11:11 PM

this could get interesting. A supercharger the size of godzilla on a lil 1.6.

Has potentiall i'll give you that. Not sure how long the engine will last but if it's that old who cares?

dave0r · 12-03-2008, 05:50 AM

sorry but this surely is a "piss take"
that S/C will prolly take just under 80hp to drive it!!!

if you brought it TAKE IT BACK..get a smaller one
sorry if this is legit...but man..WTF

Dogo · 12-03-2008, 09:22 AM

hope you got a bargain and can make a few $$ off it.

Give it a try if you're keen. But the 1.8 doesn't have enough torque to run a s/c that size and get a decent result - hence why the turbo is a better option.

tacety · 12-03-2008, 09:23 AM

haha nah i didnt buy it, the good thing about it is that i got it for free hahaha, i raced my mates v6 holden ute a while back and i bet him for a good 300 meters or so but then he pulled away, so my other mate that was in the car with me said he will give me his s/c because he wants me to flog the holden ute hahhaha
and my engine is a 1.8l sohc

Putonyourshoes · 12-03-2008, 09:27 AM

its dooable.. the 1.8 might have enough torque to run it. and if it does it will be interesting to see what sort of power it gives you..

tacety · 12-03-2008, 09:31 AM

yeah well i done a lil research on the S/C itself and it says its capable of 1000hp, i know i wont be getting that sort of power haha but im curious to see what kind of power gain i will be receiving

bourbon · 12-03-2008, 10:29 AM

honestly i say no to this one and get smaller one...the SOHC isnt torquey enough...

Putonyourshoes · 12-03-2008, 02:41 PM

yeaahhhhh 1000hp supercharger is a bit optimistic.. id say something slightly smaller.... but then again.. it would be interesting to seee

karamello · 12-03-2008, 02:53 PM

sell it...u should get a decent price for it

put the money into other things thatll improve the car instead

sxufln · 12-03-2008, 02:59 PM

bourbon · 12-03-2008, 03:07 PM
