While The Gsx Is Off To The Tranny Shop The 1.8 Gets An Eaton Supercharger(Part 2)

[costas14]

Yea, so it did work. The Eaton m90 is a bit too much though, and the supercharger welded on to the intake isnt such a good idea! It works but the air temp is extreme, the first couple runs it was climbing to about 500f, then 800f, it did chirp through all the gears, it wouldnt stop burning out till about 50. OOO and the belt snapped when we tried a dyno run. So im gonna order a new eaton m90 supercharger next week which will prob cost an arm and leg, even though the current one i have is fine. It just an early m90 and the new ones are a lot better and way improved. Im gonna take the a/c condenser of the front out, put a fmic, mount the new m90 under the stock intake manifold, make a custom outlet pipe to go to the throttle body, and run a cold air intake system to supercharger. Im gonna to run the intake to the supercharger then the outlet back to the fmic and then back to the throttle body to keep the temps done, and im gonna work on a exhaust manifold since the stock one looks a bit restrictive and take out the cat and replace the 2 and a quarter piping with either 2 and a half or 3 to my hks exhaust. So yes it is possible to get more power from a 1.8, more then double of what it comes from stock but you'll need a lot of stuff. Also need to up the fuel system, and brakes. Once i get the new m90 and a fmic and get everything in order ill setup a kit for all you 1.8 owners

Now the gsx had a okay day today. Triple A didnt come and tow it, they were assholes even though im a plus member they wanted to charge me to tow it since they said i used all 4 of my tows(all on the gsx) so i told them to go #### themselves. I figured out why its stalling even with a new ignition control module. The wires that go to the clip when you move them make the rpm gauge go crazy and stall it out so i need to fix that, then i can hopefully drive it down the street to another auto tranny shop!

If anyone has a 1.8 they'll like to donate or sell cheap to me so i can experiment some more. My current 1.8 is my dd, and the gsx of course is never running(its just there for looks) ill be very glad

Also i got a 94 galant that a customer doesnt want to fix, no title yet but what parts can i take out of it? I was thinking fuel injectors i could use! Its the 2.4 sohc engine

Instead of the fmic, have you considered water/alcohol injection?

 

[costas14]

i didnt think of that, what does a setup like that run?

 

[Gstclipse69]

Check out devils own water/alcohol injection, a vendor on this site. There basic/ universal kit is 200.

Get a bigger pulley on the charger. Lower boost, but no belt issue. This is very interesting!!! I'll bet an m62 would be a perfect size.

 

[costas14]

yea i was looking at the m62's those are hard to find too, im looking around to pick up another 1.8, i found one low miles so when i pick that up im gonna use that for my abuse

 

[lowandsleekDSM]

I always enjoy something different like this!! Great job!!!

 

[artindsm]

keep me on a list for the 1.8 kit please

 

[costas14]

will do, i was at the junkyard picking up some more intakes

 

[TheMadCheshire]

This sounds sick. My lady drives a 1.8l and has always hinted at wanting boost in her car. This may be her chance. Not a turbo, but I think a little better.

 

[RedTalon95]

Pics or ban.

I always wanted to say that.

 

[interex]

Honestly your best bet on an eaton would be the m62. Just my $0.02

 

[costas14]

yea dsmtalk banned me, pics will be up by sunday or monday, im trying to find a m62, they didnt come stock on many cars, they came on a c230 kompressor and junkyards want 500 bucks for that which is insane, and for ones with over 150k miles, those will need rebuilds asap
