Thats a myth. I work for a pretty reputable Performance parts Manufacturer. We specialize in Positive displacement Blowers. Newer vehicles come much stronger from factory.Jge64 wrote:I was always under the impression that either with nitrous, or a super or turbo charger, that the bottom end of an engine had to be fortified before it was viable… (With forged components) Can the PCX take the bottom end load?
We have pushed 12-15psi of boost on stock bottom end V8s with no real issues (Granted you have to upgrade all your fuel system to keep up, even more of you want to run on corn juice).
The issue with these E-Superchargers is its not a supercharger at all. Its a Fan. It pushes air, it doesnt compress it. Only way I see this working at all simply being that at LOW rpm the engine is moving very little air and causes there to be some kind of boost in from the intake valve to the fan but once you the engine is up in the RPM range it will equal out. Not to mention the power draw on the system.
If the stock ECU cant compensate for open air filter and exhaust, Its certainly going to run lean and you will risk knock, and at worse you bust a ring land or something..
But I look forward to the results. Popcorn in hand.
Coming from the Ruckus Scene, Couple people tried Turbo on GY6 150cc engines. Not enough air to actually spoon even the smallest turbo.Gil wrote: It depends on how strong the engine was designed to be. All engine have a limit on how much extra HP can be made with OEM internals, some more than others. Only way to find out is to try it. No one here has done a turbo on a stock internal of Honda PCX engine, or a turbo for that matter.
Standard Functions did a Zume 125cc swap into a ruckus. Bored it out to something over 200cc and made a couple PSI of boost.
