I put an M62 on my 82 Turismo 2.2

I just thought I'd throw a couple pics in here of my setup. I've had the car for sale and only had a few calls so over the summer I started messing with the idea because it was just sitting on a shelf. I have a spare motor sitting on the floor and I started looking at it and said to myself I think I can make it work.

first off hows it run/go ??

I have plenty of M90's if you want to go bigger let me know

how about more pics of the way you have the sc mounted/secured - looks like an airbox underneath the sc that you are boosting into

i really would like to have twin m90's on one of my 3800's something like this only 1 TB:

any pics you could provide will go in my memory bank of possible ways to make it happen

wow , proves where theres a will theres a way

so you are running fuel through the sc ? is it eating the coating off the rotors at all ?

does the sc/intake sit directly over the exhaust manifold ? if yes isnt it getting pretty hot or do you have a plan to keep heat soak at bay ?

 

[Brad Zeidler]

There's a couple of inches between the manifolds, the exhaust manifold dips down shortly after it's bolted to the head. I believe they only started putting the coating onto the later 94-95 M62's. The only coating I really saw on the rotors was the usual carbon buildup from EGR gases(black). I could make a tin heat shield to go between the intake and exhaust, it'd be pretty easy. Maybe even use some other heat blanket/ header wrap and attach it to the shield as well.

Love the "outside the box" thinking. It is amazing what can be done with spare parts.

Thanks, that's basically how it happened. I'd been trying to sell the car and wasn't getting any bites so I got to looking at the spare engine on the floor and the supercharger on the shelf. I had just grabbed some aluminum plate from one of my customers who were moving and thought to myself--I wonder if I can put this on my Turismo? That might get some people interested in it if I can get it running with that on there!-- I'm still messing with it and I will have to remake the elbow/adapter. The diameter is too big and anything below 2,000 it doesn't like to run. The fuel puddles. It's 2.75" dia. so I'm going to make another with 1 7/8" tubing to keep the charge velocity up. That's just a little smaller than the inlet neck on the carburetor base I used from my 78 Lesabre Turbo Coupe.

WTF hahah gotta love those turbo dodge people! Maybe you should convert it to T1 or T2 electronics and run MPFI.

Thats a cool idea though, how does it run?
