I'm trying to find a compressor for a CVH engine or a compressor at all. But so far I’m not having any luck, does any body know where i can find one??

I have heard that there has been made a special compressor for the CVH engine but I’m not sure if its true??

XR2I turbo

[SimonT]

do you mean a super charger or a turbo charger?

[Stoned]

I doubt it if he already owns an 'XR2i Turbo'...

Perhaps if he explains what this item does someone will be able to understand

[goglahey]

Yes i mean a super charger or a compressor as it is called in Denmark and the rest of the world if you ask google.com

I have a T3 turbo but i think you can pull more bhp out with a supercharger like the ones the company’s sprintex and vortex makes

Im not sure that superchargers are the way to go for big BHP.

I know of a Mk1 Fiesta running both a supercharger and turbocharger.

Not sure of any supercharger kits available for the cvh?!

cheers

Superchargers suck power from the engine in the first place so you would need a decent power engine to run it to start with, and I doubt the standard FRST engine minus the turbo is actually that powerful

How come the supercharger stinks, when it starts setting pressure at 1500 rpm and the air is much cooler than with a turbocharger.
Plus you have much more free flow of your exhaust???

I didnt say that they 'stink'

I just said they were engine leeches. Turbo's are free power from a wasted resource

[goglahey]

ok i dont know what is best but i intend to find out

By the way nice car stoned

Merc stands for Mercedes.

Superchargers generally tend to be more effective on low revs because they generate boost by using the crankshaft movement unlike a turbocharger, which depends on exhaust gasses to start spinning. The problem is their main advantage is also their biggest fault: by being driven by the crankshaft they actually sap noticeable amounts of power.

Technically speaking, a turbocharger *should* give a more power efficient engine but it will never have the same throttle response or the low revs torque of a supercharger so I guess its all a matter of personal preference... or you can do as some rally teams did in the 80's (the golden age of the group B cars) and have a supercharger/turbo setup running on your fiesta, with the supercharger taking care of the low(ish) revs with a clutch system that disengages it on higher revs, letting the turbo take over. Planning that should keep you busy for a while.

H&H Motorsports Provos, 450bhp from a supercharged 4.4litre v8. It ised a vortech supercharger with a lower gear ratio than is standard but used a more agressive angle on the compressor baldes to increase throughput without letting the tips of the blades go supersonic. Apparently a very scary motor car which produces huge amounts of low down power.

Dont like the colour tho.
