Firstly am I right in saying all things being equal a fuel injected engine producing say 160bhp will make about double that power at 1 bar of boost provided air fuel ratio, inlet temp etc remains the same and no design restrictions are affecting the engine at that stage.
So if I was to bolt a supercharger to the engine (which will make boost from idle and should keep the shape of the power curve pretty much identical) and increased the injector size by 100% the engine would run fine on the standard ECU map.
Was just thinking that I have a set of 330cc (50% bigger than the standard 215's) injectors sat here doing nothing, If I bolted on a 2nd hand charger off a Merc 1.8 or maybe a Jag (any other suggestions?) And ran 1/2 a bar of boost it could be a very nice low cost conversion to gain 70 bhp ish.
Is my thinking sound?
