405 Mi16, supercharged?

august · November 4, 2005

trevor and i were talking last night about how sweet the Mi16 sounds stock, but just imagine it with a supercharger whine on top of it, and another 50-100hp..

anyone heard of Mi16 supercharging?

Years ago it was rumoured on the list that there was some guy in the states that had supercharged Mi16 - but I've never seen actual proof. (Boston area I think...)

I think the easiest way to get a super charger into it would be to use one from a Jackson Racing Honda kit - or one of the systems developed for the VW 2.0L...

Most of those are integral to the intake - but if you could make it work - it'd be quite the car. Too bad it wouldn't have the x4 to actually put the power down nicely...

Here's a link to a supercharger kit for the Mi16:

Not cheap, but it would be fun!

So Canada allows ANY car to be imported after 15 years... So a 1991 or earlier 205 GTi that's been modded would be fair game... Probably at a decent price too.

It's not RWD - but it's still regarded as one of the best handling vehicles ever, so it should still do quite nicely...

I've got far to many projects on the go - but it sure would be nice if the price was right.
