I’m starting to think I might be selling my new motor short with the Eaton M45 and the power it could make.*oh well* The brackets and pluming are no wear near finished for the blower but will be soon so need to make the desertion soon before it’s all made and hard to change over.

The main reason I wanted to go for the supercharger was to not have turbo lag. Is this a real problem or just what you have passed on from someone how have never seen one?

Would I have to change much from the engine spec I have in my build thread?

What turbo you recommend if I do swop over, GT17?


Thanks Nathan.

Turbo is the way to go for power. Your boost threshold will be higher than with an SC but with a well matched turbo it will be perfectly drivable.

The GT17 is a great turbo for power and is great on my 998 hillclimber, boost threshold is around 3500rpm.

Your engine spec is perfect for a turbo.
