Still in negotiations.

3SGZE anyone?

flyingtele · January 10, 2009, 12:36:44 AM

or if you were feeling adventurous then maybe 3s-gtze? why opt for either tubby or 'charger when you could use both!

Because the plumbing would be immense and the gains IMHO aren't worth it.

oooh very shiny, you going for it Baz?

Not sure the gains from a SC are worth it either, having spent time looking into it a lot. I'd be really interested to see how it drives, im sure it would be a drivers car rather than a drag/dyno car for sure.

bazza2541 · January 12, 2009, 01:31:23 PM

Throttle body.

RobbieMcVee · January 12, 2009, 03:09:14 PM

so are you gunna buy it or sit in gizz for ever?

bazza2541 · January 12, 2009, 03:11:04 PM

Seriously considering it at the moment. Although the full kit is circa £11,000. And as the supercharger displaces 2.9litres of air per revolution, I think a fully built 2.2 would be best, which then begs the question, even though the kit is marketed specifically for the 3sgte, would a higher compression ratio be best? Current trials on a 2.0 have resulted in just shy of 500lbs of torque so what then would a 2.2 be like?
On top of which the restoration has cost a wee fortune and its not painted yet, although it is close another two weeks of work should leave it painted but minus a front bumper.

Decisions decisions.

You come into some money or does Santa owe you ?

bazza2541 · January 12, 2009, 05:14:20 PM

I am looking at it like this, 165 plus restoration plus engine build plus the bits'n'pieces needed to support 450/500ft lb is going to work out at near £20,000, which is damn near to what my dream car costs. So do I bog all the money into the 165 or say f*&k it and bog all my money into an Integrale?

Like I said, decisions decisions.
