Re: Possible supercharger project.
Guys, why would you even bother with the AMG stuff?? Priced to buggery and no different to aftermarket quality pumps/injectors.
As perviously mentioned, the critical thing here is to get the timing/fuel and air intake temps right. Bigger Bosch injectors, higher flow, boost referenced fuel pumps and regulators and intercooler (maybe, depending on boost level) as well as an aftermarket management system ECU would be the go here, so that the combo culd be accurately dialled in.
The bottom end should handle decent boost. A lot of engines we have in Oz ahve been boosted to the max and have not had any issues.To drop static comp, pistons can be fly cut lightly and combution chambers in heads can be milled/layed back slightly to reduce chamber vol, thereby reducing compression also.
Having built a few blown combos, the Merc V6 should'nt be a bad candidate.....cam timing might play a major part here...u dont wont the boost to be blown out the exhaust. A decent set of headers/exhaust should also be required to scavenge the cylinders properly.
It must be stressed that the whole combo be intergrated to work properly together ie: header and exh diameter, injector flow rates, intake temps, static compression, retarded timing /fuel pressure raised as boost increases etc.... not impossible but not a cheap exercise for a daily driver.
I cant see why 350 HP + cannot be achieved. Bear in mind that driveline integrity might be challenged with such an increase in TQ and HP.
I think that in time...some more affordable supercharger setups will become available for our beloved Crossfires.
