RUNAMUCK Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 After the Nats, i500GT would like to fit a supercharger to a pinto. In order to accurately calculate what blower drive ratio to run, we're going to need to know what the volumetric effeciency is. As it's going to be a low-buck set up to begin with, (how they always start out, but so seldom stay) it's going to be imperitive not to run too much boost. Surely some of you pinto fiends will know a ball park figure for this engine??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 what size charger you using? L per rpm ect. figure the pressure ratio to the motor. actial boost pressure will be higher. (back bressure between the inlet valves and charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thats where the VE figure come into play. We're figuring either an eaton m62, or an s/c14. If we know the VE we can get closer to a happier boost figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 just wing it man. i did see a m62 on tm the otherday for around $600. going injection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 We haven't got that far yet. Some say that the eatons can't hack having fuel passing through them. Although I've seen a few set ups where they've been run with drawthrough carb set ups. I've got an m62 here that he could buy much much cheaper than that.

eke_zetec_RWD Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 how many kw can a m62 support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Absolutley no idea. The blower I have here came off a VG33 in a nissan frontier pick up truck. (ebay special) I did a bit of googling on these motors a while ago. They reckon that the blowers are out of their efficency range once you turn up the wick on these engines. But given how much fewer cubes the pinto has, it should be able to pep things up quite comfortably without pushing the envelope too far. The only consideration will be what the stock engine can stand. Although with a realistic boost figure, and a conservative tune there shouldn't be too many reliability issues.

Testament Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 how many kw can a m62 support? something like 200kW max probably. at a guess without any flowbench or other real data would be ~85% they were what, 100hp? with 9:1 compression or something like that yes?

RUNAMUCK Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Excellent! I'm thinking maybe we should go see Simon tommorrow evening and pick his brains about the costs involved in running the TBI that his pinto van has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 With a cheap link, and the TBI, you could unlock some crazy horsepower Karl. I'll txt you up tommorrow. PS, given your addiction to old corty's, you'll fit in with those bogans like they're youre family you were separated from at birth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
