Hmm.. What could I be up to?

Nate's Alero · 04-29-2008, 10:26 PM

top end supercharger?

[ion] C2 · 04-29-2008, 11:07 PM

It's the MP62 supercharger from the LSJ (Cobalt/Ion engine). I'm making a manifold to support the LD9.

and you gunna send me your old one cheap RIGHT?

Nate's Alero · 04-29-2008, 11:14 PM

how about me???

Ya once I get this one working. I got a lot going on. Gotta figure out how to have my school's metal fabrication shop make this manifold so it works, gotta rebuild my LD9 first, then buy a meth injection kit, full exhaust, and drag radials, hit the track get some times before ASS '08, which will also cost money.

I was playing but when you let the old one go let me know.

Nice!

I think you'll be farther ahead by building in an intercooler, though, if space permits.....or at least allow some room to add one in later....

Yup, I plan on making an FMIC style one. They did it on the Alero OSV with this supercharger. GM also did it on a concept Cavalier. Otherwise, I'll do the LSJ style in-manifold intercooler with a liquid to air heat exchanger. There's a lot of demand for this manifold over on j-body, a LOT want to be able to use the MP62.

i would appreciate your old supercharger. my birthday is june 7.

Vinalero · 04-30-2008, 12:29 AM

Will you have enough clearance under the hood?

Of course it'll fit. They do it in the Ecotecs, it's not that much bigger. Someone is shipping out a hacked off MP45 manifold to me Friday. AKA the same manifold the MP45 supercharger uses, just with the supercharger area cut off, so all I need to do is get the metalshop to weld up a box with the correctly spaced threaded holes to strap this thing onto, spaced to line up the pulley with the belt. And put a barb fitting on each side, one for the FPR/boost gauge, and one for the MAP sensor or whatnot.

This one will be easy to make, it's the mass-produced one (using just the 2.4L flange that's readily available) that's going to take some customization, since I'd have to have the shop design the runners from scratch and make a whole new box, with everything sized right.

Here's a shot of one of the j-body guys' progress, who later dropped off the face of the earth, like the other four who were supposed to make it since 2005.

So whar are the advantages of the mp62 over the mp45

[ion] C2 · 04-30-2008, 09:56 AM

MP62
1.0 L of air per rev

MP45
0.75 L of air per rev

It's bigger, more efficient, whines more. Can push a lot more PSI than the MP45.

TheMeaningOfLife · 04-30-2008, 10:15 AM

Sounds like fun, got i want a s/c alero, burn all them lil Si's and crap

Yep same reason I dropped the 62 for the whipple good luck with your project looks nice, the 62 should be real good on your 4 banger....

kwhauck · 05-01-2008, 03:05 PM

pardon the double post but now that i have thought about it more, if you are going to all the hard work and fabrication why not make the bigger step to a prositive displacement blower like the smaller 1200AX whipple charger or eatons new TVS blowers?

They are even better and more effecient, even the more hardcore cobalt guys are dropping the 62 and trying to fab for the 1200AX whipple or a TVS blower

just wondering.......

[ion] C2 · 05-01-2008, 03:07 PM

i have a free MP62, free manifold, free 2.4L intake flange (for the tubular complete manifold design) and there's lots of demand for these to make a bunch of these and profit.

whipple would be nice, love the sound of them, buy me one and i'll do it

Bad99Olds · 05-01-2008, 03:12 PM

looks good man, cant wait to see the slips
