sl63 to add force induction or not

[snake]

I have a 6ltr v8 amg( from sl63 ) should I supercharge it or turbocharge it runs at 510 bhp nasp

 

[Yugguy]

I would go super, it will add power and torque but keep the quality of the n/a V8 more than turbo would.

A little more information the van is a Vito body old shape with 2012 sprinter chassis 4x4 has a sprinter 6 speed gearbox and was going to use the 3ltr diesel v6 however I got offered the 6ltr v8 AMG 1999 engine with rolling road print out at 510bhp ( in a sl35 amg car) my after I sort out what I am doing to the engine was thinking of some sort of active suspension just looking for ideas pros and cons

 

[TCJBOLDIE]

I am intrigued as to how or why a dyno has come to be called a "rolling road" over there when they are generally called a "dyno" elsewhere

 

[snake]

I don't know is just what people say

 

[old-git]

A rolling road dynamometer as opposed to a hub mounted dynamometer or an engine dynamometer, three different methods and kit

 

[TCJBOLDIE]

I understand that but over here they are called dynos with the only clarification needed is for engine dynos.
Have never heard the term "rolling road " used here but was aware you Poms used the term

Awesome! Makes me think of Guy Martin's van.

The term seems obvious to us. Tyres turning on a rolling drum simulating the road

 

[TCJBOLDIE]

Maybe if the drums were coated with tarmac the term would me more appropriate

 

[old-git]

No, the technical term for a paved road in the UK is metalled

 

[TCJBOLDIE]

I surrender to your greater knowledge of all things.

PS should I have said "macadamised"

 

[old-git]

Too late

 

[Yugguy]

I've always called them rolling roads.

I've always called them rolling roads.

Of course, because that is what they are
