Intake mani: gains are debateable ehh
Valve springs: no gain besides rpm and the m62 goes out for lunch and never comes back about 6-65k iirc
Pistons: Higher compression honestly not sure on gains but I don't think its much..

The only way to make good power with an m62 if I were to do it is either add displacement or spray it

 

But cams and a ported head gotta be good for something

 

I agree

 

Yes this is you my friend are awesome

 

Yea dude I agree with you on this one

 

Now I've never done any internal work in a car is it hard to install cams...n area what did you do to get 290?

 

nitrous is far from a cop out and if you think that you need to grow up nitrous is cheapest power out there

 

Losing races... must get nitrous.

 

True. Very true price per hp is unreal. But idk is it safe to use like whenever i want? I floor my car everyday, dude. Go through a gear or three. Been doing that for 2 years (35000 miles) with no tangible abuse issues and she has 66000 miles as she sits.

 

Idk about nitrous I'm with rice on this one, I want the power at my disposal, I think it would be a hassle refilling a bottle all that, I want my car to always have the power not for it to be dependent on nitrous.

 

Hard? Not really.

Time consuming yes.

 

i'm just saying guys you are making it seem like theres nothing that can make power after bolt ons, like no matter what else is done to the engine an m62 wont let u past 300 without nitrous. just kind of makes me lol thats all

 

Its not going to be easy or cheap to get an m62 car well over 300hp but there is a different and cheaper way but to each their own

 

cam hp

 

See basically what you have to do is do what ZZP did lol. Build the hell out of the engine and just let the supercharger do a little work. Didn't ZZP do a 400hp m62 setup?

 

on a 2.3 litre engine

 

But that's my point the m62 can only do so much, so you would need more displacement to get a lot more out of her

 

I like the F&F movies just as much as anyone but some people need to grow the FK up and realize nitrous is no more dangerous than any other forced induction with the proper equipment, tune, and safety features.

You wouldn't throw a turbo on a car with no wg, bov, or tuning.

Everyone is just so freaked out about it because of those movies and every other ricer writing an essay on how his buddy's cousin's friend "fried their piston rings" with naawws...

It will NOT make your passenger floor board fly off.

 

not realy

 

This.

and lol at the floor board comments.

 

true, true, definately not cheap, easy or something most people would do when of course its easier to turbo swap it, tvs it (not cheaper for tvs though lol) or n20 it.

 

What gain could you possibly get from porting the stock supercharger?

Stiegemeier Supercharger Porting-Pricing

This place does it for $445. Just wondering if it's worth it.

 

fbo with gmr cams. pump gas, meth, 2.7 pulley, 60's. i think. look in the cam comparison thread. it's not that got damn hard to find the information.

 

mrB you can do quite a bit to the m62, ported out like a ****, lightweight rotors(not sure who all has tried this), super small pulley, ls4 tb, all the works but whats the most that anyone has ever got that thing to flow?

 

Mmmmm PnP and built head
