im thinking of super charging my VR6 its got 116k on the clocks, will i need to rebuild my engine?? and how reliable will it b once its charged??

116k is not a lot of miles. There's people on here who have turboed or supercharged cars on over 130k miles. As long as it has been serviced regularly every 10k miles and it runs really well you have nothing to worry about. Rebuild is definitely not needed unless you are going for big power over 350bhp, and even then you only need to lower the compression with a thicker head gasket, no need to actually rebuild the engine. Fuelling is the main issue to take care of. Supercharger will on average get 250-280bhp as just a bolt on so well within safe limits.

thanks for the quick reply mate, i was just wondering could i just put a stage 2 supercharger on or would i have to have stage 1 first? im new to this as you may gather so sorry for the silly questions

No such thing as a daft question when you dont now the answer

you can start stage one and build. All the stages like 2 are additions to stage 1 improvements. so you need stage 1 to get to stage 2. That said you can buy a stage 2 kit to fit and it will have all the parts you need. There are a couple of threads on here about the options availale. Worth a read to help educate and get you thinking about what you want! you can get t them off the main Frums and members sections
