Hi, I am looking for a budget increase in power on my modified overland vehicle. It is a Fiat 128 with 1.3 SOHC, 2 valve, aluminium head, iron block engine with a big bore and short stroke 86 x 55.5 mm and 9.20 to 1 compression ratio.
Nice and high quality engine, but with the increase of my wheel diameter, its 61 hp and 90 Nm torque just isn't enough for anything.
I have a VERY limited budget, as I am a student without a job. I can get a turbo from some small car second hand for about 150 euros, or I can get a supercharger from a mini cooper s for about the same. The plan is to use a carburetor.
Now, the questions are:
Should I use a decompression plate or leave the compression?
Should I use a supercharger?
If so, draw trough or blow through?
Should I use turbocharger ?
If so, draw trough or blow through?
I think I could pull off a blow trough application, the carburetors are simple Weber, and an enclosure, bigger secondary jets and new float should do the job properly. However this is all theory, so I need somebody with experience to tell me whether I am correct in my assumptions, and to give me some instructions.
I am looking for about 50 percent power increase, if it's possible.
Tools are not problem, as I have everything from the smallest wrench, to CNC machines and lathes, so I can fabricate everything I need.
