i think it go like...whaaaooo shhhiiiiiieeeeeeeeeet

Phate · 30-06-10, 09:07 PM

haha this is true!

On a serious note, I'd be VERY interested in the power figures as it's a one off project, and if its running say 280bhp or more be interesting to see how well the KV6 holds to it, as I have a project of my own brewing

Supercharged_Z · 30-06-10, 09:11 PM

it wont run 280bhp or more..

The official touring car with the throttle bodies only ran 267bhp and thats with alot more expensive components like forged high comp pistons, offset crank, bigger valves, very high lift cams dry sump, and some very fancy tubular manifolds..

Realistically im hoping for around 220-230bhp with an 7800rpm red line.

So is there a real advantage to going for the throttle bodies over the Supercharger?

I'm not seeing one right now :/

And I know this was done as a project!

A big benefit of the charger is that it boosts the torque at the lower end of the rev range. A nasp engine on TBs and cams will need revs to make the power and may well lose some torque over the standard engine at low revs.

Depends what kind of driving you do as to which is best. A charged engine (super or turbo) will be easier to drive more quickly, but probably not as full-on as a high revving nasp. I guess the same argument as Honda VTEC engines - brilliant when you're really on it, but slow off-cam.

I'll get my 250bhp nasp engine finished one day and see how it drives!

I take it from the photos the zed was not long off the jack judging by the the front wheel camber..........

Looks bloody tidy and nothing to give away what lives beneath.
