C'mon, someone must know the answer


I've already got a YB turbo in a 730kg kit car. I want something cheap, flexible and with loads of torque. A supercharger draws loads of power from the engine, but so does a turbo. A supercharger is a dam sight cheaper than a turbo, even if I could find a second hand pinto turbo manifold. I don't want to just stick a YB in it, cos I've already got one.

Using the cossie bottom end means I can rev it to whatever the top end will take, and its less hassle to build a pinto top end to take 8.5k than a Yb one.

I want something that cruises relitively off boost on the motorway, but with the rev range to make lots of boost and power when thrashed.

I suppose I could just stick a pinto on 40's in, but that would only take half an hour and then I'd be bored again.

Plus I want something a little unusal and a project. If I was being sensible I'd just stick a 302 or a YB in it but its been done.
