My Supercharged 172

[J o n]

seeing as pretty much everyone already knows it's mine from having made visits to Omex to see it... thought I may as well post up some pics lol.















I'm obviously quite pleased with the effort these guys have gone to, but what's amazing is that the design, fab work, install and mapping has taken on 2 and a half weeks! Power figures will be released as soon as I'm allowed to spill the beans!

Thtas a very tidy setup, and once the bumper is back on you would hardly know the charger was fitted.

so im guessing all the brackets etc are custom made?

cheers mate, yeah it should be pretty much invisible with the bumper on... I'll get it heat painted though to be sure!

Brackets were designed in Autocad by Darren and CNC'd all in a day, but there's a base template now. Would be cool to see a Mk1 charged actually

mk 1 twincharge i feel

I'd love to see this on a Mk1 as well tbh! Coops, what do low boost turbo's on standard internals usually make for power and torque wise?

[Coops]

mine was making 217bhp and 180 lb/ft on low boost, standard internals fella

[J o n]

I'd be happy with that kind of power, the torque delivery I bet is brutal :D

okay, my next possibly stupid question is about BAR and PSI... what the hell is half a bar in PSI? lol

Would this set up work on an F7R?

Im guessing there is rounghly the same amount of space below the alternator. I only took my engine out the other day but cant for the life of me remember how much room there was
