Was looking up parts on ebay and came past this

anyone thought about fitting one to a g40? think it would be more efficient than the hungry m45?
being new its gonna be reliable as hell!
just curious as to whats out there in supercharged terms

Have u ever seen the size of one of these? They are one third the size of an m45! doubt they can create more than half a bar of boost on a g40 engine!

[z3i]

Really?! That sucks, suppose thats why its charged and turbo charged

I read that the supercharger produced 10 psi until the turbo took over.

ah dam! Hardly worth having!!

also you profile picture is the lols james

Yeah but my g lader only boosts at 12psi max.

I bet with a smaller pulley it would be better, plus they werent really designed for high boost as thats what the turbo was for. Twin charge the G40 i hear you say?

now were talking!! I want to do something crazy like that lol would have boost constantly!

[GR40]

you will hit a wall using a charger this small and a turbo on a g40 engine cause an in line setup will be chocking from the size of the charger and a parallel one will be a bitch to tune without some fancy electronic system to isolate the charger when the turbo goes on boost. Even the engine this charger is designed for is struggling to solve these problems via electronic management! The only setup I can think of, that might work on a g40 engine is a twincharged one with the use of 2 of these chargers!

Why is the standard VW system struggling? All the TSI motors I've been out in are sweet!

[z3i]

What do you mean struggling? I thought the tfsi engine were dam good!

well i want more boost and more reliability but want to keep it supercharged
wanted to see what was out there

[Jezza-7]

Didnt vw stop making the twin charged ones?

A friend who has the ibiza version said its sweet as and my mate who worked for VW said they test drive it and said it was just constantly pulling and real fun. Thats when he said you have to get the 1st "batch" of them as the 2nd lot dont have the charger.

Twin-charged motor still in 2013MY Seats for sure, I think the Golf now has the 1.4 TSI without the supercharger.

Dayum!! A 1.4 in a golf! Engines are going so small! Theres that new focus 130ps 1 litre and the new bmw 114 which i believe is a 1.6 turbo rwd. Crazy!

looks like g40's were 25 years ahead of their time

Ford's EcoBoost 1.0litre (3 cylinder) is in a fair few of their cars, from Fiesta to C-Max.

Good engine, downsized boosted has been the order of the day since early 2000 really, even BMW gave up the N/A M-Series motors for something smaller, and boosted.

I've driven a 160bhp Passat with a 3 cylinder 1.2l (Car circa 1600kg), which as expected was very good, key being blending between off boost performance (or lack of) and on boost performance.

Dayum!! A 1.4 in a golf!

mk1 & mk2 golfs came with even smaller engines
