Brooosssss.....

would want to ask any sifu here if they know what is the pro and con of installing a supercharge to an old M40 engine....
can the Levin supercharger be use with custom piping and existing ECU (supercharged at 3000rpm)
I am keen to install the unit....costing around rm3k - 4k

dude, i dont print money at hope larr... Laughing

you are saying dont? it will over stress the old engine? i've seen E34 doing this supercharging and so far no problem...but it's just a light setting...main objective is to make easy for me to overtaking during normal drive. not for racing bro....i will be looking at the levin 1.6cc supercharger or if i could find the 1.8cc version it will be better...but i still need some advice....only 50/50 for doing it

you are comparing an apple with an orange bro....1.8 with 2.5. engine conversion is out of the question......could not afford lah....i am semekin...aka miskin. slower than m20 2.5 doesnt mean i want to race with anybody, just want some sufficient power to overtake during normal drive

but to be honest, if u want extra power, still a 6 cyclinder 2.5CC is the way.

chris,

how much is the conversion cost? easy to get JPJ's approval (displacement more than 30% of original spec)? BTW i'm using E36 with M40 engine and so far the engine is in good condition.

I don't think JPJ will approve an increase from 1.8 to 2.5. But if you do not mind that, then by all means, that's a valid option as well.

I do think a significantly lighter, SC-ed M40 might be a good alternative to the heavier, older M20. Laughing

well, evilnickwong has a point, the 4 cyclinder is lighter and definitely faster if the supercharger is tuned and installed properly, no doubt but it.

Nick, so when la? xD

If only can still find that style of SC ala Downing-Atlanta where the unit is integrated into a custom intake manifold.
