Just ask yourself why you want to add BOT? Just for added accelaration? If yes you can go BOT. If you want to go for high horsepower, maximum horsepower, and bla bla...just dont waste your time on BOT. meaning less you spent on BOT, might as well go for transplant.
Do study more what is compression ratio and how to calculate it, rather than guessing what is compression ratio that you need. Changing GTI "flat" pistons wont do you any good for turbocharging. The engines components arent designed for turbocharging but for NA application. Running at 0.6bar, it's a matter of time when your engine give way due to the stress of the forced induction to your piston, conrod, bearing and crankshaft. And perhaps you will increase your boost as you crave for more. That is human's behaviour hehe
I had a friend that turbocharged his NA honda had the pistons flew out from the engine...:P
Good luck with your project. |
Thanks for the input bro... I know how comrpession ratio is being calculate. The figure was not a figure plugged from the sly or somewhere... It's by calculation...
Thanks for being concern and worried about my engine... I also understand the theory behind all the stresses that will be faced by the pistons, crank and conrod. Including the block and head itself... I am a person whom strongly stands on the engineering side. Just like 4G93 and 4G93t engines. They are designed to take different load and worked under different envronment... Oil squirter and the low compression pistons with internal offset are very good examples of the same engien but different application..
However, I've already learn and prepare to face the worse consequences... There are few reasond why I'll go for BOT.
1) Enjoying the improvement and collection of item. As through this way, I learn more...
2)Would like to go around and learn about how things work in practical application compare to theory.
3) can hang around and play aournd and understand more about the limit of an engine before transplanting into a more power engine...
4) Can delay the prooject if necessary, e.g. no money. U pay part by part. Not like transplant. Have to pay everything upon installation.
Anyway, thanks for the input again...
