Thinking about supercharging my 2.4L. I have a few questions that i need help with if anyone knows. Do i need to go liquid cooled? Or i can i just go air to air cooled. I think
it would be easier just to use a front mount intercooler but im not sure. And where do i
get a Custom Idler Pulley with Mounting Bracket ? I would appreciate some help thanks.

 

you have to go liquid cooled. maybe you should look into it a bit more...

 

The only place i can look into it is on this forum. I was just checking out becks walkthrough. But just had a few questions ya know. Is there any particular reason you have to go liquid cooled. Does it circulate through the supercharger to? Or is the supercharger just oiled?

 

if you could make it air to air and a front mount thatd be awesome lol.

 

use a liquid intercooler it's more efficient at cooling that type of boost down.. to cooler.. it's not the best flowing but the M62 produces ALOT of hot air

 

A water-to-air intercooler is also an easy install since it's what the LSJ's intake manifold was designed to do. Also, since you have an auto, routing anything larger than 3/4" ID coolant lines around that engine bay is going to be difficult.

 

Thanks that helps alot guys. Appreciate it

 

the m62 intake manifold will require you to use liquid coolant.

 

you can modify it to amke it an air-air IC, but there hasnt been any independant testing...and (IMO) the few who have done it are a bit biased in the results.

 

yeah, i know but if this guy is even asking this kind of question-- he's not even going to attempt it. btw, i may move out to Los Angeles sometime in the near future. Thinking about taking a job out there. How do you like it?

 

if you want to cool it down like air/air. just dual pass end plate with meth injection, also option b... helps

 

I love where I live. beaches 20 minutes away (closest being 5 mins north of malibu), downtown is 40 minutes away, hollywood is 30 minutes away, and mountians with snow about 1 hour away. We have everything you'll ever need..lol

The only complaint i can ever see having with LA is theres a lot of traffic on the freeways, but hey, cant be perfect right?
