No drama.

When Gurdas or the latest stereotypical incarnation posts before doing something, then crack on, but given previous his contributions, imo the thread neither fails nor demonstrates an ego.

I had thought about strapping the blower to my m reg diesel golf but I think it would struggle to even power the supercharger with its 50bhp! It's going on my vx220.

Oh right thanks, I didn't know you had either a Golf or a VX220. :)
 
Using the lets torque BHP calculator the finished figures should be something like this:

0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.94
0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.82
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.88
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.29
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 111.87
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.19
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.20
 
Got the final price and I've given it the go ahead! The charger itself has already been ordered and it will come over from the states in about 4 weeks time. Prep work will start shortly. I need to relocate the ecu by some distance so I need to chop all the wires, extend them and bundle them up nicely. The injector and map sensor wire also need extending.

How do the 2.2 and LSJ compare in terms of weight?

I don't have the figures to hand but they're very similar, I believe the LSJ may be a bit lighter as I don't think it has balancer shafts, an EGR and a couple of other bits. The LSJ quoted weight will include the supercharger though.

HI there

I am not sure how accurate that calculator is to be honest, on some things it seems accurate yet others it does not.

For example here is my car:-
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.64
0 - 100 (Secs) : 7.31
60 - 100 (Secs) : 3.66
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.68
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 126.45
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.58
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 127.86


Now to get that 0-60mph result would take a perfect launch, rear tyres with reduced pressures and a hot day so the rubber hooked up. The other results look about right if running road tyres. :)
