I have a 205 Rallycross car that i have dropped a GTI 6 motor in after my MI16 motor let go in a big way and have had the plan of SC it after reading some of the posts on her as it seams an easy way of big HP and torque.
So i have gone and got a s/h C30-94 SC and the plan was to wait until i have the steel rods ect before fitting it but i can feel me fitting it in low boost as i was so down on power last time out (most cars are 300-400 Bhp) so if i can get it set up to at least 250 low boost it will help at the next 2 races unitl i get the shiny expensive bits and go HB.....
My questions are i am currently running a standard GTI 6 motor with 48mm throttle bodies and lumination engine management that was set up for the 250 bhp MI16 motor.
i am planning on making a manifold chamber to bolt onto the throttle bodies and run though an intercooler and into the supercharger with an air filter fitted or would i be better using the GTI 6 inlet manifold i have and selling the TB??
Also it says in the manual if i set it up with the TB then i may need a Recirc valve ? now it does not say i will but will it harm the SC if i don't as i only do races of max 5 laps ?
Also will i need a intercooler as the races are very short and i dont think i have seen the turbo lads running them will it make a big difference for such sort races?
Any case i will have room as i am fitting a bigger rad in the boot of the car for additional cooling plus protection from front impact damage of stones etc and this should let the engine bay run cooler.
I also hear about restrictor rings /plates what are these for on the low boost kits as i thought it was the pulley size that changed the boost pressure
What is the most boost i can run with a standard bottom end i see people mention .65 bar?????
Any advice would be great help..
Oh and i only have 2 week to the next race......
