that 'charger seems over kill. stupidly large flow rates, surely not efficient for a relatively small capacity application. You engine may be powerful by mini standards but im sure a BINI charger would do the trick as they don't run to their max on a mini engine anyhows.

Oh seems a real shame, also, out of interest, what supercharger would you use?

was looking at a rotrex one, a centrifugal supersharger, but as i say, i highly doubt im going to do this now so ill probably have a K1100 head for sale in the summer which has had port smoothing work.

there rotrex and vortech who make centrifugal type chargers, if you have a look see on there web sites they state there flow rates etc and you should be able to work out whats best from there, i was pretty addiment to not get a screw type charger as i prefered the centri to size, fitting and i dont know, i just like them more lol

I've seen the rotrex one on 16V engines so I'm sure it will be done, but they are so expensive :D . Won't be done for about a year though lol.
