Simple advice: Sell, buy something better.
As much as you polish a turd, it's still a turd.

Supercharge it and be done with it.

viper16 · Post by **viper16** » 05 Apr 2007, 17:28

cant supercharge it has a 4.0L V6

EDIT: Mclaren_Dude i have seen S15s for 30,000 on up to over 100,000 and the kit is only offered in japan for $1,700 and mods to the performance are not cheap.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Apr 2007, 18:42

can i ask why you cant supercharge a 4 liter v6 ?

viper16 · Post by **viper16** » 05 Apr 2007, 20:22

What on Earth are you talking about?

viper16 · Post by **viper16** » 05 Apr 2007, 20:49

they want me to supercharge my truck

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 05 Apr 2007, 21:11

Yeah, I know, but what isn't there that is keeping you from installing a supercharger?

viper16 · Post by **viper16** » 05 Apr 2007, 21:28

they dont make them for my engine

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Apr 2007, 21:59

It was a joke. Just leave it stock, ''tuning'' it the way you do makes you more like a failed ricer. If you do it, do it properly.

cologne V6 has only 210HP only mod i have found is a throttle body spacer

I'm afraid I have to sell my Boyracer magnet.
Cause I am doing to many miles for the car to be efficient, the way it's going now I expect to go over 30.000 Km in a year and I think the miles will increase, cause I will be moving further away from work.
Although I don't like to own a diesel, I am afraid I will have to change to satan's fuel

(for those who don't get it...yes I'm talking about diesel)

And the car that looks the best for me at the monent is the brand new Toyota Auris. with 2.2L D-Cat commonrail diesel engine.

I test driven the 2.0 D4D version a few weeks ago and have to say, it's comfortable but still pretty sharp, they did noticbly stiffened the suspension compared with the Corolla.
And the 2.2 version has a better rear suspension and most improtantly....
177 bhp and 400Nm,
Wich means that it has 23 bhp less then the Civic Type-R and more Torque, but then it does also weight 1400Kg

wich is alot more then the civic.
Still when I drove the 2.0 D4-D diesel version the acceleration wasn't bad at all, but because it's a diesel you get all the power from 2000 rpm and the turbo boost is over at 4000 rpm. wich is something completely diffirent then getting the VTEC boost at 6000 rpm.

Then get it custom-fitted. A simple centrifugal supercharger can be made to fit on almost any car, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 06 Apr 2007, 07:45

^yea basically all you need is a bracket and a pulley and a belt that will fit around the extra pulley. really not that hard

Sounds like a smart move Stig, everyones going to Dirty Diesel. My mum just bought a brand new VW Jetta, and although I was sceptical, it actually doesn't go too bad. I already have it booked in for a better exhaust, as the standard ones are absolute trash.

Need an opinion... As some may know im getting a Purvis Eureka Kitcar and im deciding to put bodykits on it and does this look good enough.... Oh and don't worry about the rear lights im not going to do that its horrible

Note: This is the exact model of my car but i do not own this one im just showing the bodykit

That's pretty nasty, stick to 'stock.'
