Supercharging 4age....can I get away with?
Running a 4age 16v atm, and while I was thinking of upgrading to a 20v head, I wondered wether I could play with slapping a m45 supercharger on for
abit of poke.
Question is...could I get away with basic boost on standard engine? And could I also get away without an intercooler?

I wouldn't scrimp on the intercooler, without it you will have high intake temps and it won't make very good power. It will make the
conversion a big waste of money. I'm not that familiar with 4age engines but the general rule is lowish boost and internals can remain
standard.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Have a good search on here and read bill Sherwood's page.
Depending on engine (there are several 16v engines) depends on what power you can get away with.
As a general statement, an M45 will provide about 7psi of boost and a stock 16v will be fine.
As a comparison, I am very very slowly planning to fit a M62 to my 20v. I'll be using stock rods and pistons from an old 16v engine. With a
decompression plate I'll be hoping for 14psi+ and north of 200-250bhp.
There are crazy people in NZ claiming to be turbo stock 4agzes with 500bhp.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Oh, and regardless, you need to cool the
air or it will sap all of your power.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to swap in a 4 AGZE motor and overdrive the supercharger that comes with it - you moight even get the
intercooler with the new motor. 200 hp should be easy to get.

I was just thinking of the idea after seeing HKS Supercharging Kit for the 4age.
By the looks of the kit, there is no intercooler between the charger and the engine. I don't fancy cutting holes in the bodywork to mount an
intercooler.

This on eBay or somewhere you could send a link?
I would be interested in its design, I don't want to buy it.

Description
Hopefully the photo will upload, i believe the kit fitted a standard engine, and that they are very rare.
