    Punto Supercharger

    Hi all.

    My mate was telling me that a Supercharger would be not easy but not hard to fit.

    This is what he just told me over MSN.

    Air con pump out and you'll bolt that in there and run the pump off that belt, then u connect it to a intercooler and a filter and then to your inlet??

    Are they hard to fit?? I know you can buy a Supercharge for like £300-£400 not a problem. But i wouldn't want to ruin my engine or make it such hard work lol.

    Thanks..

    Plus how much BHP would this add to a MK2 1.2 16V Sporting 6 Speed?

    Do some research on supercharger projects. It would involve custom mapping etc.

    LOL

    Potential on your engine - around 160bhp with a mini cooper S supercharger, standalone management, and decompression plate

    Realistic potential of you doing it - absolutely none

    Need to read better

    He wants to remove the AC-compressor and drive the compressor instead with the belt wich drives AC normaly.

    I've been thinking before about a compressor in stead of turbo on the GT to erase lag.
    But think thats one of the "if only I had more time and money"-things.

    DaveTheTrike had a thread running which spanned some considerable months and efforts on FiatForum. Type in 'punto supercharged?' or similar.

    He ended up with it running good power on standalone management - then it had a catastrophic faliure within a few weeks.

    Heck of a lot of effort for results which may not be guaranteed.
