Supercharged 4.7L
Posted: November 23rd, 2009, 1:00 pm
I know there are a couple other threads on this, but I didn't want to Hijack them - so I created a new one.
Alot of research has gone into this. This is what I have figured out thus far:
12cw crank (I already have it)
98 4.0L donor (I already have it)
Hesco Head
Diamond Pistons
Eagle Rods
Cam is still open as I might need to go with a custom grind for the app
Avengers charger looks to be a nice unit, although a bit too pricey for me when you have to figure in injection mods.
So...
98+ intake, modded so that a Eaton M90 can be mounted to it.
I need to do some mockup so I can figure out what hood clearance will be, but I want it all to fit under a stock CJ hood.
So for $400 for the charger, $400 for a megasquirt EFI setup and quite a bit of time modding an intake, I should be well under the price of an avenger system including the injection system.
I do have some questions though, mostly geared towards those that have supercharged/turboed strokers.
Is the megasquirt the best option for injection (the only other one I would consider at this point is from Accel)? What kind of compression static/dynamic do you need to stick with? I know the calc spreadsheet on here doesn't take into affect boost, so it's not correct. How much boost can I safely run? And what kind of power can I expect?
Let me know what ya'll think,
Waldo
