hi, has anyone done a conversion to fit a m90 supercharger?

if so what is needed?

get much extra power?


many thanks for your help

Joe

 

it has been tried, and not worth it the trouble

 

fail. nuff said.

 

go buy the Harrop TVS 1900. That will give you car abit of pep

 

im still not sold on this blower. i wanna see it on a fully built engine with a ported head making huge numbers and driving on the street. then ill be sold. till then when i swap superchargers it will be the TVS 1320

 

I think the general idea with this sc is that it's not worth it because of the incredible amount of energy needed to spin it.

 

hmm. so not worth it as a cheap'ish upgrade then, fair enough

have built my engine up with low compression pistons ready for the harrop but now im hear i dont know whether i can justify it! are the gains that good?

 

agreed, the 1900 is barely better than the Harrop 1320 when on a proper setup. I read the article in the magazine where they did this and it made 320 on an engine dyno. That is with cams/header/dualpass and without a trans attached for drivetrain losses.
The 1320 can make closer to 350 WHP on E85 with minimal engine mods

 

yep the bigger blower would really show benefits if you were running like 30psi... but in general if anyone is going to do that, they're already got a turbo

 

joe the thing with the TVS is you have to really spin the rpm's high. and you will need some form of e85, methanol injection, or race gas to make some really good power

 

not to thread jack but...
im curious to see what kinda numbers my build would make if i slapped on a TVS.

 

4009 whp

 

lol. 409 wouldnt be out of the cards...

 

lol
its all in the tune man... lots of people cant break 300whp with the tvs.. but then others smash 300whp

 

I was just going to get a tvs with a small pulley

will do this when I can justify it I suppose!

Don't suppose anyone has any blower cams and a smoothflow 2.7 pulley for sale do they?!

Or a harrop for sale lol!

 

yeah but i said 4009 whp, not 409

i'm trying for 300whp on the m62... just to hold me over until i can talk myself into paying for the twincharge kit. I'm hoping that it'll be really close without meth... won't know until everything gets back on though.. got a hell of a port job on the head with oversized valves, getting everything ceramic coated then all the usual blower/tb porting i/h/e etc... and it'll be with a damn 2.5" exhaust, not a raspy crapfest 3" system

what do you plan on doing to the blower? or have i misread it and you are wanting to ceramic coat it?!

 

i should have no problem breakin 300 on the m62. ive seen more power w less mods and im confident in my tuners abilities. cough (Wicked) cough

 

the blower is just P&P'd it's stupid to ceramic coat that because you want the heat to leave, not stay in. it would be a really good idea to put a thermal dispersant on it though.

 

wickedss will have his ported head on soon then u can ask him what kind of numbers he is putting down

 

he runs a tvs 1320 not the harrop 1900. hes not fully built either. hes on stock internals

 

tom is also on e85 and the stock 3.1 pulley too...
