what was the down fall of the bigger SC that it was taken off and that no one wants to do it?

im thinking about a new project with the car and a turbo has been on my mind amoung other things.

 

If anyone is interested in getting the M62 kit they can drop me a pm.

Theres your man right there!!!
I'm tryin to help you unload that beast bro... Unless you wanna take those pistons for downpayment

 

Man what a thread it will take me all day to read this thing. A guy on fb is talking about the M62 and says he did one for 900 bucks. I think he bought the first unit from DDM. Another guy on fb said this was hotroddin and I am diggin it big time.

 

See link, there's ONE available for one lucky person

Anybody still around from when this thread got started? A Youtube video making the rounds on FB has a German GP1 making over 300 hp on a dyno with a M62.

 

Oh yes we are still around. I have one that i am currently prepping to install on my ‘05 R53.

 

The post above your with all of Charlie’s comments, he also has modded a Lysholm whipple 1200AX also and has it on his Non GP. Has an M62 on his GP.

 

BVH? What parts are needed for the install?

 

Welp the m62 is on, bugs worked out, and im running logs right now to finalize the tune but she lives with a cobalt eaton M62 supercharger running a JCW pulley and making 21 psi at 5k rpm.

 

Outstanding!
However, (no offense), Installing all those great mods....on a filthy engine?
Again - no offense.

 

Sorry to resurrect this one, but I have been doing extensive reading and have one question:
Why does everyone cut the intake off right after the SC body?
Why can't the long, wide intake section be kept on and mount the stock TB at the end?
Knowing how restrictive the small plastic charge tube is, it seems like a win-win.

 

gotta rework a lot of other things to keep it. It can be done. Working on one right now with a custom intake.

 

Please share pics! This will be my winter project

 

As far as I can see on my R53, the existing intake system (TB, intake hoses) and AC lines are the only thing in the way.
However, I'm not sure of the trans bell housing.

 

the trans is in the way, it has no bellhousing its all one unit. but you can carve it down 3/8" and shave the super inlet to match and it will clear as long as you shave the back side of the case those 2 mounting points still need to be removed.

 

Can you share pics of your custom intake?

 

Question for everyone:
Can you use a non-Saturn or Cobalt M62? I see a number of others from different GM vehicles for cheaper, like this one
