Supercharger

[imprttuner88]

Building for Autox duties and wanting to stay with the M42. Need suggestions on where to find a kit since you can no longer find DASC kit new and nobody apparently has any for sale. Just looking for 6-8psi and suggestions on alternate suppliers.

TIA

DASC was a Eaton MP62 Gen III I believe. You might be able to find a used supercharger from a miata kit, Mercedes C230, or something. I think the earlier mini cooper S used an MP45. Problem would be making sure the snout length is correct, I'm not sure how easy it would be to modify that.

Also, the intake manifold ports can be very different even on similar model superchargers. I guess if you make a custom intake manifold that wouldn't be as much of a problem though.

Thanks for the tips/help everyone.

Some reading/research to do

I used to run a few centrifugal supercharger setups on the M44. All custom fabricated so it costs lots of money. Better off doing a 6 cylinder swap. Will also allow for more power down the road too.

Worried about weight being added to the nose of the car as well...

It makes jack all of a difference. I'm currently running a 6 cylinder engine and a turbo setup with intercooler. The car handles as well as it ever did.

Check the rules to see what class you would run with a supercharged ti. Something tells me you will need a lot more than a supercharger to be competitive at even the local level. The ti is a great autocrosser stock!

Tracking the car and my M3 I can most definitely tell a difference in the weight on the nose. I also like the challenge of going with the 4cyl over a 6.

I finally acquired a DASC and am looking for options on Meth injection or inter cooler and thoughts of going MS and tuning. Looking for track day reliability as NASA time trials will be this cars end game.

TIA!

M3s in the US uses the iron block. Try an alloy 6. Will knock off about 20 - 45 pounds off the weight.
