Upgraded Supercharger?

I was just wondering, with all the mods available to the MCS I've never come across an aftermarket superchager upgrade. Is there anyone that has modified to an aftermarket one?

I'm making my own turbo kit. It should be installed and running in about two weeks. If you want to make real power let me know.

There are at least a couple of companies that do some port/polish work to the superchargers - M7 and Endyne. Probably more out there too but those are the only two that spring to mind.

As far as a completely different supercharger, it would have to have a provision to run the water pump as does the stock one, or adapt a different water pump to the system.

Where did you hear that from? The M62 is quite a bit longer than the M45 - there's precious little room on the pulley end of the SC now. I can't imagine it would fit, even if you did get around the water pump issue.

I know of one company here in the UK that runs a M62 on their development car, but they are very publicity shy and I shall not name them until they wish to go public. It is a trick setup though, and they are seeing 245bCrank BHP with everything absolutely stock (running 9psi)


It sounds pretty fruity as well...a lot deeper and more mellow than the frantic M45+reduction pulley.

Cheers,

Henry

so basically u guys are saying it doesnt appear feasible to put a bigger supercharger in the mcs... but rather boost the existing engine with pullies, polished cams heads etc?

i don't remember where i got these from but this is an autorotor setup on a mini engine. I know from my VW background that these are MUCH better superchargers. A friend of mine runs 11s all day in his autorotor 16v rabbit.

IIRC, Randy Webb looked at importing a twinscrew, but the units would have been over $2000, and it didn't make sense price wise to pursue the project. There might have been other factors at play, but that's what I remember...

What about a Twinscrew (autorotor style) SC with a good Turbo, or is that going into the land of extremes?
