Im thinking about superchargers for my Abarth.
Been looking online at various kits but does anyone know of a good one to fit the Abarth?!!

I had a BMC CDA on my Abarth...I cant even find anyone who's fitted an induction kit to their Abarth,!
its gonna be like having a sexual relationship with tinker bell though... you would if only you could figure out how!
it wont be cheap... Eaton M45 (new shape bmw mini) blower would probably be ideal.

let alone super-charged one, definitely very ermm, ambitious!
Sorry to veer slightly off topic but have neither of you with the BMC CDA not had issues with it upsetting the MAF and causing all sorts of false engine management warnings?
I'd dearly like a BMC or K&N Typhoon but don't want to end up with my dash lighting up like a xmas tree!
Also re super-charging, please dont take this the wrong way, but if you've got £1,000s to spend doing that, wouldn't you just prefer to spend the money on a 'proper' performance car like an evo or impreza? Where you can get everything you're looking for as standard rather than trying to turn the Abarth into something that it isnt?
I'm not trying to be negative about your potential supercharging project and wish you luck with it, but as much as I'm happy with my Abarth for now, my next move will definitely be for a more focused performance car.
Nah, never had any issues - I blew up the engine before that could happenSorry to veer slightly off topic but have neither of you with the BMC CDA not had issues with it upsetting the MAF and causing all sorts of false engine management warnings?.
I've not had any problems with lights coming on.
why would I want to buy an evo or scoobie? Both are well overdone and far to common for my liking. Around here you don't see many abarths hence my reason for taking on a project like this. I can get parts @ trade price across all makes so costs can be kept down. This is just a fun project for us as I have a spare bit of cash and a new company car. I think this topic will be one you either agree or disagree with (like the manual vs selespeed).
Im not against the idea in the slightest. As i have said its something that has been in the back of my mind for a while but the financial implications are what is stoping me right now as i have next to no mechanical skills.
buuuut. As you say there arent many in your area. Nor mine. Infact there arent a large number anywhere. They just werent all that popular. Thus meaning there is nothing off the shelf so things will have to be custom built.
Then you will need things like forged internals. I would imagine a large part of the job is identifying parts and components that can be stolen from cars like the Fiat coupe and alfa GTA enigines
I can give you a proposition that may help you financially. As i plan a similar project then i could go in with buying/making 2 of certain things i.e adaptor hubs to fit Brembos from a coupe.
Ok thanks for that. That's something I will look into and find out what problems etc they had! Thanks again!It has been done before, novitec use to sell a supercharger kit. They dont do them anymore though, heard it was due to the problems they had with cars fitted with the kit.
