Hi All,
Does anyone here know whether it is at all feasable to use the BMW Mini Cooper S Supercharger to give the K-Series VVC engine a bit more oomph?
I'm assuming that the variable cams and associated gubbins would have to be junked in favour of some fast road cams and an uprated set of pistons put in, as that seems to be standard practice when tuning up the VVC lump. What would one do for a manifold? Is there anything else one should consider? What kind of power outputs could be expected? 200-230bph??
I'm asking 'cos these superchargers are always cropping up on eBay and they are getting cheaper as more and more people are going for the Works upgrade. So I was thinking MGF VVC + Supercharger + uprated brakes & suspension etc = wahay!
Any comments?
Cheers,
Ian
