Both forced induction 3.0l engines I've seem have had worrying bottom end noises. Mind you, both were, I believe, Courtney conversions, thus likely to be poorly implemented.

There will not be an engine change or a car change, either there will be a supercharger fitted or i will just do some light tuning to the engine.
And i'm aware that it's costly.

First off I would just try low pressure on an original engine, like 0,3 bar or something.
While i'm building another engine on the side.

But will it be durable on this engine?
The people that is making a new kit for this engine and car says that an original engine will take up to 0,6 bar

And please keep turbos and other engines in another thread, thanks.

Care to share...? PM me if you like  ;)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
