supercharge in 1.4

[Seid']

Hi guys. Where I work exist one supercharged from a g40 to sale.

my engine is the old monoponit. Anyone know anyone who have adapted the charged to this engine?

I'm interested on this now xD

i don't think anyone has or ever likely will bother supercharging a 1.4 306. the amount of work you would have to put in and the money you would have to spend would massively outweigh any of the benefits you would get from charging.

the best value for money in terms of money for power is the xud engine, don't know how easy they are to come by over in portugal though :/

Guy at ace supercharged a gti engine on a budget of £1500. So not a massive amount of money.

[Seid']

but XUD is diesel. This is only an ideia xD

What i have in mind its the 1.6 8v, but now I knew that I wanted to see if there was someone with a charger :p

Never heard of it done before, I say go for it, it'd be awesome!

I bet that was only because so many parts already exist for charging the '6 engine, you would pretty much have to start from scratch if you did a 1.6

then there's the issue of the terrible 1.6 gearbox, doubt it would handle the extra power very well, along with the huge list of other custom parts you would need such as uprated injectors, better cooling system, ecu programming, bigger pump, cams.
i doubt the notorious 1.6 gearbox would handle much of a power increase, you would also need to re balance the crank since your going to have to add another pulley for the charger belt.

and last but not least, the actual gains from charging such a small engine wont be that noticeable since the charger leaches about 10% of engine power just to run it in the first place.


thats my thoughts on it anyway

THey sell yurbo kits for the 1.4 saxos so the ecu has to be able to cope with boost, thatll be your best line of research.

[ozonehostile]

turbo would be a better option tbh, much better gains and cheaper

[Dum-Dum]

nah you want to fit both lol.

By the looks of things most of the 205 gti 6 engine was custom. I have seen the standard kit and this wasn't it.

id check out 106owners & saxP for advice on this topic

It was. I had a long chat with him. The entire thing was home brew. None of it was from a kit. The actual parts cost him £600 for charging and battery relocation then £400 on the ecu and £500 for mapping

Not with the archaic bosch monopoint system though, it can barely cope with a light breeze.

I'd say give it a go.. Good for 150hp I guess!

Lolz, rising rate pressure regulator for a complete lack of control how fuel going in ftw!!!

[darrenjlobb]

lol as Ruan says, just run after market fpr and blow boost down the inlet, be reet, would cost under 500 quid to bolt an M45 on the side of it, and then you get chronic charger win ftw also.

so wat I've to buy to put in the 1.4?

charger
intercooler
pressure regulator
eco tune
...

more what?

Little bit off topic but I had a 1.6 8v which I got a charge kit for I only saw 150 bhp for around 1800/2000 not worth it swap the engine out for a 2.0 then charge it
