simdim13 New Member 4 Member For: 9y 9m 5d Posted 11/07/14 05:29 AM Share Posted 11/07/14 05:29 AM okay so I got a BA xr6 N/A, I want to supercharge it, in my personal opinion I like them more than turbo, I have looked on CAPA performance at their kit for vortech v-2 SQ supercharger, seems like a good way to go, with the intercooled version it can get up to 13psi of boost. So if I run around 10psi or so will I need to get forged internals and if any of you recommend a good brand for them, really any help and tips are appreciated.

Limiting factors would be compression ratio a NA engine. You wont need forged internals but NA rods should see around 300rwkw.Most people here will say just buy a Turbo XR and be done with it but every one is different. Just be prepared to throw a large amount of cash at it thou..Good luck. Edited 11/07/14 06:29 AM by FPV TRANNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
