RT Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 yeah the clutch lets the compressor wheels free spin without making boost. wank value really, but kinda cool how he could take off and then flick the switch for a instant 40hp. Supercharged Xflow would be awesome Jerm. Been saying that since I came here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty260z Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 we loosly aiming for 2007.. mainly due to the $10,000 cost.. what the $10,000 cost, targa or the car, what class will you be in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 thats to do the targa!.. the car cost much more than 10G's.. We will be in the modified or open class.. but we won't be seriously competing.. just gonna drive the car hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYKOV6 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 there are plenty of good engines out there just to b different what about a mustang 4.2 litre v6 they even come supercharged and i think the price is quite reasonable too keeps it ford too check out AMERICAN AUTOPARTS in chch i think they import them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The Capri engine bay allows for a faily huge range of engines.. I'm suprised I kept the original one haha You can get a kit form caprisport.co.uk to put a late model 5.0 injected Mustang V8.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Demonmk2 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 2l zetec??? I reckon dohc engines in a rearwheel drive layout finish off an enginebay really nicely, specially if you have shiney cam gears nd no cambelt cover i agree with that! and it makes u look flasher with 2 cam shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Demonmk2 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 anybody no much bout a supercharged xflow? u rekin it would go nuts conserding its light weight? and the insane 84hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 yes but then you wouldn't get your 'fashey 2 cam look' that you wanted demon.. I think it would be similar to my firends SC pinto.. except less powerful but revier and lighter. advanteges would be the amount of good quality and cheap SC's for 1600's such as the 4agze supercharger would be perfect. disadvantages that I can think of would be that 1600 Xflow doesn't have the parts available for easy forced induction ie. electronic dizzy's and efi stuff... unless you have contacts in the UK.. as Ford Feista MKII electronic dizzy's fit the Xflow.. but this is off topic!! Josh is not going to put a Xflow in his Capri.. they look fuckin ridiculous in that massive enginebay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defective Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 the lexus V8 idea isnt a bad one.... you could run carbs and shit and make it look like an oldschool motor... the speedway boys run heaps of them and they aint allowed efi so there must be plenty of cheap easy ways to run carbs.
