DASC

[weezer]

Haven't posted in a while, but I am finally breaking down and seriously thinking about purchasing and installing one.
A newer car will cost $15k and up whereas this upgrade will be in the sub $5k installed.
Wanted to get feedback from those who have installed these.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Fariz

Taked to Jim at Downing yesterday. They have plently of parts but no superchargers. The Gen 3 they used was discontinued and it's not financially profitable to retool again. Used is the only way to find one and the prices will be going up each year. Sorry

if that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to buy a similar supercharger and all the parts they sell?

Would there be a compatible/similar supercharger that can be used instead?
That would be freaking awesome...

Short story: No there are no other SC's that fit the DASC manifold.

Long Story: There are no superchargers of the MP62 Generation 3 currently made. If you can find a Gen 3 MP62 it can be rebuilt by Magnuson with OEM Eaton parts which is what they used in all their cases and I'm pretty sure Downing has all the other parts needed to assemble a full kit. Downing only used Magnuson SC's in their kits and all their tooling was for Magnuson SC's so it pretty much put them out of business on DASC's when Magnuson discontinued the Gen 3 SC. Downing looked into other options for 1 1/2 years with no luck and their position currently is retooling for the new superchargers is not a profitable venture since the M42/M44 is a older car and the demand is not what it used to be for the DASC kit. Good news is if you find or own a DASC with a worn MP62 Magnuson can rebuild it as long as the case is good. All Magnuson's SC's still use the Eaton rotors, bearings and gears, etc.

For those that own a DASC or know what a Gen 3 looks like below is the Gen 4 link. Obviously it's not even close to a gen 3 so it's not as easy as making a adapter.

I think I found a website from Australia that says it "sells" the 3rd gen M62,
I don't know the exchange rate but it seems quite pricey though ($2700)

If they do have a few of these in stock, maybe we can pull together for a group buy....

What do you guys think......

I don't think that's the right SC. It needs to be a MP-62 third gen by Magnuson. The Eaton and Magnuson cases have different mounting holes

I was wandering if anyone could tell if the correct SC is the one bellow (if not does anyone has the spec of the correct on)



Was it ever used on nay production car or was it for aftermaket applications only?

Drop supercharger, turbo charge it...
How much does the DASC cost ?

The correct model is the MP62 Gen III.

Yes that is the correct supercharger!!!

I doubt it was used in any production car. I think all production cars used the Eaton M62 which will not fit Downing's kit. I hope you guys find something that will work. Jim G at Downing stated he has been looking for 1.5 years for a replacement or something they could retro-fit and has had no luck.

Ok folks I just called Magnuson and spoke with Tim. He stated that the only company that used the MP-62 gen 3 was Downing for their DASC BMW kit. It was a special housing that no production cars used and he was not aware of anyone else using that SC housing except Downing. He said no problem on rebuilding any MP-62 gen 3 as long as the housing was in good condition. He stated they sent Jim at Downing a MP-62 Gen 4 but he was not able to use it with their current tooling. Sorry guys...
