Default Supercharging

help needed from someone who knows abit more than me.

so if i supercharge my car what will i need to set it up have i got it right in thinking this is all i need:
  • Supercharger
  • Oil Cooler
  • Feed From charger to and from the oil cooler and a header tank for oil.
  • Management
  • Intercooler
  • Boost Pipes and Hoses
  • Supercharger Bracket
also will i need forged pistons? im not looking at running much boost only about 7psi (0.5 bar)or something like that.

Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated

If your doing what I think you want to do - have a look at blackknight1982s post on Projectpuma (where you're also a member ) as he's doing it.

The site hasn't been offline for months now.. about last summer I think when it had a 2 hour hiccup.

EDIT: Might help if you tried to get to the right web address .com, not .co.uk.

What type of blower are you going to use, centrifugal or roots? This plays a big part in what you'll need.

Thats a centrifugal charger (belt driven turbo if you like)

If you doing very light boost, you should be able to use the standard pistons, but you best get hold of someone who knows the limits of the standard gear to check first.

Some need an oil line, some dont, check this also.

You might want to uprate the breather system also. Add a catch tank etc.
