B6304F + Supercharger

posted by  someone claiming to be DaButcher on  Tue Jan 20 22:25 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi!

I'll buy a 95' B6304F (150.000km), and put on it a Supercharger (from a 350 v8).
The supercharger, I've been told, should be capable of delivering enough pressure to 700hp.

I guess I'll at first just lower the compression and supercharge it with not too much pressure. Then after a year, I might rebuild the entire engine.

I have to go to the military for 12 months, so I have limited funds atm, also I cannot afford to upgrade my driveline yet.

As the B6304F has liquid gaskets, can I put a thick gasket to lower compression? I was thinking about a metal gasket, copper?
Will this thicker gasket have to be very thick?

the standard compression is 10:1, but I want 8.5:1 I think, or do you think I need lower?

A 242 in Norway had the b6304F with twinturbo, he pulled out 460hp@5100rpm/659nm@4500rpm @ 1bar, and he later increased to 1.2 bar.

In other words:
* Can I lower the comp with just thicker gasket of copper?
* How low do I need to go? (in comp)
* How much can I lower with a gasket?

ps. here is the 242 with twinturbo (in swedish, 4 x .jpg in 1 x .zip):
