If not, but you are determined to play with boost, keep things as simple as possible to start out -- dry sumps and over-driven blowers... that's a more advanced project with far higher costs, more tuning, more experimentation, and greater potential for things to go wrong.
It looked like you might have been thinking along the "experimental test car" lines (which I certainly understand and respect!), but again, unless you can make a solid claim to at leas two on the above list, as a fellow car guy and madman, I strongly advise you to either keep it NA or go with a fairly modest and reliable bolt-on kit at the most and see where you are from there, rather than try for a wild and high revving build, where you may be sailing a lot in fairly uncharted (and rocky) water... |
I have a second car and have time for more R&D with these car for people who have deeper pockets than me. I going back and fourth about S/C the car or building a high revving N/A. I like the keep it Na for the simplicity, but have it SC for power. I like to say i just don't jump off the deep end and hope for the best, I'll do my research when it comes to engine builders and tuners so i only have to do this once. Also i'll have more than enough money if my motor and anything blows in the process. That's why i'm asking alot of question and taking in any feedback so this helps me in building the car that i want. This is a long term project, I have no kids, not in prison (marriage), I live the bachelor lifestyle.
