Supercharged BOA V6

[CTE]

The above engine types have been fitted with turbo chargers successfully, but does anyone know if anyone has had any success fitting a supercharger?
I do not see why there should be any problems, and a supercharger might be more suited to the characteristics of the engine?

I defo seen kits in the past with centrifugal superchargers with tehse engines.
Was a few years ago mind.

Possibly Turbo Techincs with a Rotrex or something.

Yes it's been done usung a mazduh millenium supercharger bolted onto the nearside head. There's a picture of it on my web site. It's at the bottom of the page.

It's also been done with an eaton mounted in the 'V' and I produce a base plate/lower intake section that could be used for that application.

A centrifugal would work to.

You'd need an aftermarket ecu if using a reasonable amount of boost or maybe try an add on. Perfect Power was one company I came across with a piggyback ecu. Don't know if it's any good though. Stevie, ever heard of them?

Mike, thanks for that.....do you know or have experience as to what level of boost these engines can run with standard compression/internals?

Depends mostly on how its tuned.

Most standard engines can tolerate a fair bit of boost if tuned correctly.

They are fine at 7 psi, mahle pistons are quite strong. Compression is almost 10:1 static. You could run a bit more boost but not much more. So a low boost installation is viable.
