Hello,

I'm always wondering about supercharging my B5, I like the torq response better than turbos. But when it comes to Audis, we're all turbo.

Does anybody supercharged their B5? Am I insane?

I wondering about a eaton unit, maybe a M62.

 

Yeah you can supercharge a 2.8 v6 but the parasitic loss of a supercharger probably isn't very good for the little 1.8T. Plus, it'd be expensive because everything is set up of a turbo; but on the other hand, it's your car, do whatever the hell pleases you.

 

I've seen a couple people toss this idea around, biggest road block seems to be figuring out a way to tune the ECU for it. You'd also have to do a LOT of custom fab work and throw a LOT of cash at it.

 

My car isn't turbo, is 1.8 without turbo. Since I want more power I've got 2 options: turbo or supercharger...

Turbo seens to be way simpler... but god I love that supercharger whistle!

 

Where are you that you've got a 1.8 with no turbo? Thats not a US-spec car. In that case I have no idea what to tell you lol, I don't know the first thing about those cars

 

Seems pointless. A supercharger on the 2.8 30v is low boost due to high-compression, but is about 250 hp, since the V6 has decent power to begin with.

You want to supercharge a non-turbo 1.8, which likely has higher compression than a 1.8t engine, which means you can only boost 5-7 psi. You might get a bit over stock 1.8t hp with a supercharger at a crappy 5-7 psi. A 1.8t can get 250hp with a chip. For the money and time you'd waste you could sell and buy a 1.8t, buy a chip and have more power.

 

Or sell it, buy a 30v 2.8, and get the PES blower. You'll have the sound you like, and 295hp/270tq to boot. Get a manual Quattro, do the 4:1 diff shim and love your life.

 

His other thread stated he lived in Brazil.

 

Buy this!

 

BAHAHA xD
