I have recently purchased a suck through supercharger kit to put on my engine. I currently have a 1310cc stage 2 engine but one of the cylinders is scored so I have been given a great quote to get it bored out to 1330cc. I have also aquired a Mini Speed Stage 4 Head that I am planning to use with the supercharger. I am now looking at what is best to buy to get the most amount of power out of the engine....
- Would I get more power out of a HIF44 or a Weber DCOE 45 (I have both and both inlet pipes so its a decision between the two)
- What Cam would people suggest going with?
- Would you uprate the gearbox eg. go with straight cut box etc/ is there anything I should check for whilst I have the box off the engine any places of excessive wear? (I currently have a X-Pin diff fitted)
- What pistons should I go for? (What dish size?, Forged?, Specific brand?)
- Should I go for lightened and balanced crank and conrods etc
- What clutch and flywheel would be the best? Turbo?
- Is there anything else I can do to get more power out of the engine?
- Also I am running 10x6 weller wheels with A032R tyres do you think that these will take the power or would I be better off going for a 13" wheel set up?
Basically I have a friend that has a Stage 4 MPI that he will be supercharging, we use the cars on the odd sunny occassional day for a good blast around and we intend to do a few track days if possible. I would like to try and get the upper hand on him even if just slightly haha
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers Paul
