Forced Induction and K-Jet

[Boumsong]

Aup guys,

I've been talking a lot recently about running a supercharger on the new engine build. However, I'm not overly knowledgeable on after market engine management..Granted there a a kajillion websites with information about it on.

My question though, is 'what sort of pressures could safely be put through the K-Jet system and still have it work as well as it usually does?'...If any at all..

The way my brain is working is..If I run a charger on say..7/8psi which isn't too much compared to the 13/14psi you can run them at. Would the K-Jet still measure and adjust the fueling to handle the extra air..Or would I definately need to look into aftermarket management?

In the 80's k-jet was standard equipment on a few forced induction cars including Audis, Porsches, Volvos and probably some others. There are definitely some metering head/air flow meter combinations that you could use with a supercharger but I'm not sure how well standard scirocco items would work.

Stealth Racing in Warickshire are good for this as they made multiple 1.8 16v turbos running on K-Jet. May be a good place to ring and pick their brains.
