Just doing some background work for a mate who's looking to Supercharge a Ford Pinto (2 litre)

Engine is already a good spec'

Does anybody know of any websites with info' etc ?

Thanks

go to turbosport,thay do alot or turbos it would be a good place to start,
get him to turbo it,thats what im doing its quite cheap to do,i thank superchargers are expencive i dont know much about them

im thinking about doing this as well when i put some money together.

obviously you will need a sealed plenum chamber of some kind and an induction pipe from the supercharger to the plenum, i would say that you would need to fit a air flow/intake temp sensor in the induction pipe somewhere

Supercharging is the cheap way.

Mini cooper s super chargers are available for about £100, then all you need is a suitable inlet manifold and fuelling system (preferably injection)...

Standard pinto will take 6-8psi of boost as long as you run an intercoolers. This is only on a stock engine which hasnt had the CR raised at all. Having said that for ultimate reliability obviously forged pistons and rods are the way to go.

A completely standard pinto running 6psi of boost will pump out around 200bhp.

7psi on a standard efi pinto is 180bhp thats all i got on mine.

For pinto supercharging have a hunt on some auz ford forums. They seem to like them.

I'd recommend a couple of books

1) Forced Induction Tuning by Graham Bell
2) Supercharged! by Corky Whathisname

Second one has more mathematical detail but first has more background info.

Neither ridiculously expensive....

Thanks for that Lads

It is appreciated

im just reading that book by g.bell,he really knows his stuff,its a good mix of turboing and charging
