Convert N/a To Supercharged Help

[simdim13]

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.

Its been done before so try a little search and see what you can find. 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.

yes mate ,it will cost you a sh*t load .all the hidden things will cost you .I thought swapping over from v8 to turbo 6 would cost me about $6000 ended up about $11000 .and you can not stop half way there ,its to late lol .yours will be easier but still .just buy a turbo 6 .

there is a ute down the road from me that has done the super charger conversion .I could try getting the phone no if interested .it does sound good ,and goes good .he gives the thing a hard time every morning when he goes past work (6.30 am )

I looked at the supercharger route when I had my 1st BA ute(Marlin) Yes cost can creep out on any job, but why not be different to the other "sheep", and do something different.

The Capa kit looks the goods, so go for it.

yes I do not like following sheep ,they all smell the same to me .that's why I build a sleeper xt one tonne ute
