1.8t to super charger conversion?!

[Big-Pete]

any one ever done it?

im not talking compound charging im just thinking change turbo to supercharger.

Storm Developments were doing a 1.8 conversion - but it looks like it's not gone anywhere

Few people with vr6 charged lumps in the Mrk 2s but tbh why would anyone want to swap a turbo lump for a charged one. But only to be different. 1.8t is super tuneable

i would never consider swapping a turbo for a supercharger considering a charger kit to compete with the same power of a ko3s or a ko4 for that matter will cost way too much for just being something different. i was considering when i go big turbo i may get fed up of low end lag and would consider fitting a small charger to help bottom end but its just all too expensive.

Does seem pretty pointless.

Not sure about superchargee conversions alone but jd engineering (pretty sure it was them) built an insane mk4 with a twincharged 20vt lump and haldex conversion! Thing looked insane sure it was 500+bhp with instant power

pretty much the idea i was gonna go for. maybe later down the line if money is ok. i live the superchargers low down power but only a turbo can achieve the really high figures so a combination of the 2 is a real treat.

I'm sure there was one in PVW, would be an option if you blew a turbo or something and had an m62 lying around to fab up..but really a hybrid ko3 shpools up pretty quickly and a supercharged varient would be of little use...unless you were going for monster power.

You'd be better off with an ABF and Brahn Brenner combination.

I'm sure when I spoke to Storm about 6 years ago they'd already done a 1.8T supercharger conversion with a rotrex charger? It was a while ago so I might be wrong lol!

well done Pete, true to form, less than 2 weeks & already looking for ways to F*** up something that works

 

[lexyy]

the twin charged one took alot of engineering to make both turbo and supercharged fit never mind run! guy who built it is supposed to be a genuis, was in pvw mk4 madness issue

i try.

I love super chargers

I love wine they give off

I've had a g60 and loved it and I've help build mk2 golf vr6 super charge and it's an absolute animal
