Hi all,
I'm in the process of fabricating the necesaary mounting plate and intake tube for installing a Eaton M62 on my 4.0 OHV motor. I'm looking to see how many other SERIOUS people out there are interested in doing the same. This is to calculate machining cost and material for multiple kits.Please leave a post, I'm using this as a cencus.
Thankyou
Keith
The kit will be very similiar to the BBK system.

 

How many pounds of boost do you plan on running with it? I know Vortech makes the kit still for the 91-94 crowd and supposedly Steeda will do things for the 95-97 crowd with it but I have emailed and gotten no reply from them.

 

The kit I'm building uses a positive displacement blower, rather than a centrifugal. Boost will be approx 5-6. The BBK system produces a max of 7 with a slightly smaller pulley. I have as of now milled out a dummy set of plates for supercharger mounting. As soon as I get more time, I will make like three sets in aluminum. I have a connection to purchase the Eaton blowers at a really good price. Which I have already bought two.Then what will be left is the intake tube and any necessary tensioner (if needed).
Please people keep replying to this ,so I know If more people would be interested in one .
Thankyou
Keith

 

LFB I spoke with John Vanek of EE a while back and it wasn't necc. the lack of demand for such a product it was the fact that the product from BBK was lacking quality missing parts etc. So if you come up with a workable solution across the board that is great.

 

Yes thats what I heard too. and the fact that the cost is a bit much. I wish I could devote more time to this project.But, other projects I have take presidence. I'm hopefully looking at mid summer.And the cost will be CONSIDERABLY less!!
Thanks
Keith

 

Any idea of your cost so far? Obviously if you can get small eaton units at a reasonable price then you may have an easier time doing it. I had thought about doing it but just lack the places to get things fabbed if needed.

 

hey birdlowflyer.
i´m jaime, i´m SERIOUS buyer of a supercharger for a ford 4.0 OHV 1997 manual tranny.
please send me the info my email is = jdj_68@tutopia.com
thanks

 

Keith,

Will it work on a Ranger? Explorer? Aerorstar? You should maybe try out those forums, as well, to see what kind of interest in your project generates.

 

any body could help me???? that is not a good answear for me

 

I'm very interested in this Research and Development. Let me know if there is anything I can do. As the extent of my Mechanics are replacing the water pump, although I am very analytical, I usually can figure things out, so just let me know if you need anything, other than money, and I'll see what i can do. Good Luck.

A friend just installed an M62 on his '01 Ranger. Specs are 5 -6 lb. boost, 75hp at rear wheels. Kit is well made by X-Chargers (888-397-5673) and sells for $3599. You might contact them. Hope this helps - Good Luck.

thanks dono, but my engine is a 4.0 ohv efi V6, i coul´nt find a charger for this engine.
X-CHARGERS produce for a V8 5.0 only.

 

Hi all,
I have not abandoned my build, its just that I simply dont have the time to devote to it right now. What would push things along would be if one of you guys would happen to know a place or friend who does milling, either CNC or manual. I already have 4 new eaton blowers in the box, and one used- very low mi. I'm using that one for all my work. I figured out the set of mounting plates, and made them in MDF board . As for the intake for the blower ,since the blowers inlet port is on the rear driver side. A 90 deg. stainless elbow pipe is what I plan on fabing to use. As for throttle body, to make it simpler and cheaper. I'm using a mustang type 65mm. They are WAY easier to get and cheaper than the ridiculous BBK $200+ for their 66mm. This also simplifies the idle air bypass issue. Besides who wants to give them any money anyway after they dont come through with their blower system. Yes I have heard of one or two out there, then seen their price jump up to $3599. I say let them scratch.
Please reply
Keith

 

o.k i think you are still working in your idea.

you mention you have all the proyect made in MDF?, do you have some kind of draws from it?.

Here in colombia the hour of work is less expensive than USA, maybe whe can to join forces, to develope the idea.

Thanks

Hey bird drop me a line I have access to cnc mills and much more. I also need a sc kit for my 98 mazda 4.0.
