which super charger?

[Zuffen]

I'd go for the 112 and use a larger pulley.

If you do rebuild the early engine you won't be happy with the M90.

watching 3 m112's at the moment...espically the new one,expecting to pay £200ish

what about a clutch? i know its possible,mr2 i think (something jap anyway)

 

[XR8tt]

Anxiety reigns supreme...Aha
Till you win and get it in your hands...

 

[zen]

yep...will have it by tomorrow lunch time..(or not as the case may be..)

there is a used low mile M112 on ebay right now for around $6oo. Came off a cobra to be replaced by a whipple.

Guy has a "buy it now" for only $300. M90's are hard to find cheaper than this.

if you get the m112 mate, the clutch setup from an m62 can be bolted on, but it makes the snout very short, but it is possible to work around it

 

[zen]

oh good....(hmm..mad max....hmmmm..wonder what the mrs will say when she see's it...and the old bill...)

 

[Zuffen]

Remember the M112 can draw almost 100hp when at full booost.

The clutch off the M62 was never designed for that sort of abuse.

If Eaton had intended to use a clutch on an M112 they would have done it by now.

I think it will work a few times and start producing smoke just like your Lucas wiring!

 

[ruishy1]

upgrade the clutch ?
if i had one to look at i would know whats involved, but if you have the cash, upgrading it wont be hard

 

[Zuffen]

The clutch use din superchargers is very simillar to air conditioning compressors and they usually handle around 5hp.

Think of 100hp as being like a 1600cc car sized clutch.

 

[ruishy1]

i doubt the clutch is that weak on the m62, an onld boy i worked with had a tuned merc with the standard charger, and it didnt break

 

[zen]

well....i have the m112..

let the fun begin...

questions..where to mount.where to get crank pulley and others to route belt to charger...

be easier when have in hands,come on postman..

 

[ruishy1]

the jag m112 is a a fair length mate, i know i have one aswell !
ive been looking at getting a shorter snout from an m90 or ford m112 to help with the issues.

Its difficult though

 

[SuperRunner]

I am using a ford lightning m112, althoughI wouldn't mind getting a longer snout to move it back a little for better balance on airflow. The mustang m112, I found to be a little too long for my liking.

 

[spf_lexus]

What are the physical differences between the lightning and the cobra?

 

[Lextreme II]

Just got this from Bullet 5 minutes ago. You have to order a special snout for the m112. Very clean kit.

M112 is side inlet
MP112 is top inlet.

Depending on your configuration, side is alot easier for the car and top might be easier due to the hood clearance. I also noticed the Bullet version is slightly shorter so much more room for hood clearance.

Nice David, I'll hopefully have one of them on the way soon! Have been talking to Tom at Bullet. All I need is to get a Cobra m112 to Australia

 

[SuperRunner]

hmm, wonder how much just the snout is.

You going to fit that with an intercooler? I am thinking about it for mine, but I would probably need to add 2" to the setup.

 

[SuperRunner]

BTW, where do I pick up one of these intake/TB setups? Or is this fully custom. I haven't been able to find anything else like it for the lighting m112.
