Scrap engine

[captain slow 82]

I was driving down the road after not drivin the car for 6 months (only turning the engine over on the drive) when I saw smoke coming from the engine I pulled over immediately and looked underneath. I found that the car had had a giant st. The oil was as creamy as an old wes bucket I think I need an engine rebuild. At the moment it's a 4litre super charged. I fancy takin it out to a 5 litre super charged or a 4 litre super charged and turbo
. Does anybody know who would be good for this (excluding power as I think their too busy) ???

Thanks

Sound like head gaskets, unless you cooked the engine it's an easy fix, if you really want bigger, I would go 4.6 top hat linered with your existing super charger and a single turbo up front,
I can't recommend one place to get it all done but can recommend v8 developments for the engine build

The 4 ltr supercharger from sc power was designed to work without an inter cooler, so should work feeding the turbo then a large intercool up front

did you see that lotus that was twin charged pushing 680 bhp from a 1.8?

Please note however its not a 1.8 K series

It's not a 4 ltr charger, it's a 5 ltr charger with an inter cooler. I'm not sure if that makes a difference with getting a turbo?

Yes you'll need a bigger turbo

This is complicated, you need a system that diverts boost between the charger and the turbo... Charger goes up to 3000 rpm, turbo takes over and does the rest. Dont think you want both on full pressure, the rv8 wouldnt like it
