M62 in place of aircon pump
Has anyone done it?
Ive just blown the vvt in my mk1 and have just picked up a replacement engine. I dont want to just fix it back to 107whp. Rough mockup https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a924b4a83.jpeg Sorry about the potato phone pics |
Some euro guy is doing one rn, sorry don't have links, but it is in one of the FB miata supercharged groups. My MP62 is where most alternators are.

Thanks. If theres nothing off the shelf i'll probably DIY - we in the UK have a 4 day national holiday coming and i'd really like to be back on the road ASAP
I cant believe it hasnt been done this way already. This blower and location combo looks like such a simple way to go about it. If it fits. |
You're gonna custom supercharge your car in 4 days? I'm gonna wanna see this lol
Fabricating all the piping to/from the charger aint gonna be fun. |

Seen it done this way on a kit car (Lotus 7 / Caterham / Westfield style car).
Don't see any particular issue with the location, nice strong mounting points on the block there. The intake might for the sc might take a bit of working out, getting it past the hot exhaust that looks like it will be dropping down just behind it. The intake for the sc is also something you don't want to compromise on if you want to achieve the full power potential of the setup. Nice open bends, good size pipework etc. 4 days might be pushing it, custom fab always takes about 5x longer than you think it will :bigtu: but have at it! |
So obviously this didnt happen... But i got pretty far.
Denoobing with a build thread https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...saster-106800/ |
Blackbird Fabworx had a one-off build with the blower mounted low in the location you're describing.
