looks like its going pretty good..i was thinking about doing a similar build on 1 of my spare d15's ...keep us updated :6

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log
 

looks good....good luck with the build :)

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log
 

lot of work for not alot of perofrmance, good luck on the experience aspect.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log
 

I'll agree with that statement :y

really what I'm looking forward to on this is the torque, it'll be interesting to see if it's as dramatic as I'm led to believe it is.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log
 

I think this has more potential than you realize.
Here's a 1.8 Miata making some serious torque with an m62.

A lot of work- yes, but I'd take 300ftlbs at 3500rpm any day.

You may need a steering stabilizer for the torque steer! ;D

i have a friend of mine that wants to turbo his neon. what kind of fuel managment can he use, and where can he get a manifold for it? that is the only thing holding him back.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log(updated with cam install)
 

As far as management goes, last time around I used a rising rate regulator and bigger injectors/fuel pump. That was dumb :1

definitely tell him to check into using megasquirt management. lots more control and will drive nice. The rising rate regulator works for lazy people who want a car that never runs quite right.

as far as a manifold goes, there are a few options- mostly log style like I had. Tell him to check out www.neons.org/forums they've got a ton of good info there, and usually there's always a couple of turbo manifolds for sale in the classified section.

EDIT: If he at any time starts saying something about using an S-AFC, slap him upside the head with a quickness.

I'm not a big Neon fan, but the project looks borderline worthwhile. Taking into account the amount of experience you'll gain from it, and what you'll be able to bring to future projects, my borderline worthwhile comment is more like a foot in my mouth... but, hell, I did say I wasn't a big Neon fan, didn't I? :-*

You're a crafty fucker. It looks like it'll turn out slick.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log new pics 07/10
 

An M62 on a 2.2 motor does this boost wise.

1.5 -1 pulley ratio = 4 psi
2-1 pulley ratio = 8 psi
2.5-1 pulley ratio (maximum SC effeciency) = 10-14 psi.


I am making 180 whp and 210 torque at 10-11 psi on my 2.2 subaru legacy motor in third gear pulls. I am using 430 cc injectors.

Good stuff.Looks like you are learning alot and i think this is gonna come out pretty nice.What are you going to use for engine management this time?Keep the updates coming :y Oh ya the plaster mold job is tits too.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log new pics 07/10
 

What's this? a compliment? :P Ha, thanks man I appreciate it, I'm actually having lots of fun with this, now that I got the tig/plasma all set up and I just got my steel the other day, now I can start fabbing up some brackets to mount the supercharger with.
I'm thinking about ditching the stock power steering pump bracket and simply making a single bracket that will mount the power steering pump, the belt tensioner, and the supercharger all in one. We'll see what happens.

yeah I'm definitely learning quite a bit on this one, more so than the old turbo setup even. and I'm having more fun because it's such a challenge to make everything fit and work properly.
For management I'm using the Megasquirt system. Fuel only at this point, I'll try to get that worked out first, then go with spark management later. I'll also be using SRT-4 stage 1 injectors. Not sure what I'm going to use for a wideband yet, any suggestions?

I should have another update ready for you guys after this weekend.

Looks great! I always find myself reading these thread but not replying. The project is insane! Looks like it'll turn out well. I'd say good luck with it, but it doesn't look like you really need it :P

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log new pics 07/10
 

Yeah, that was a compliment. I don't drop them on cookie cutter solutions that chimps can come up with unaided.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log new pics 07/17
 

I have a 2.5-1 pulley ratio going on with my setup, which is maxxing out the efficiency range of the M62. Once I fix all the boost leaks (I didnt realize I had so many till I pressurized the system!!!!) and fix/ replace the outlet from the supercharger to a 2.5" one, I should be making 15ish psi. Which on my AWD system is good for about 240-250 whp since each psi of boost is worth about 12.5 whp for me.

These superchargers are awesome!!!!

how did i miss this entire post for two month :l

looks like a pretty solid project..if everything works out what you should do is to do mass production and sell them on ebay ^-^

BTW you look like a tall mofo how do u fit yourself in a neon :l LOL

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

You've got me ;)

I've thought about it, but it's too much work, and really the charger I'm using isn't a very good one anyway. Plus I like to be exclusive.

I get that a lot. I'm actually only 6' but I've got long legs, plus taking pictures at waist height will do that :)


For the rest of you picture -----s, I've given you plenty of pictures to leave some comments for, so leave some comments dammit! :P

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

i think i remember you posting a pic of your sister or ur gf :l

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

Hahah, that hot or not hottie? Too bad I deleted that pic from my account or I'd post it up again.

You guys would like pics of my sister: 5' 3" 115lbs, size D fake boobs.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

Well don't tease us, you know what to do O0

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

:y LOL

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

This is a great project, I like what you're doing 8)

What are your goals? Change your avatar because every time I see someone that uses one of the stock ones I think that they are a noob that knows nothing. And I also think you're ricky101.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

the Ricky who like banana? :l :P

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

Yep. That's how I know him too. Anyways back to your regularly scheduled supercharging goodness :D

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

MAKE NEON FAST NOW KTHX.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

Thanks man I appreciate it

Goals wise, I'd be happy with around 200-220 WHP, should reach that running at maximum efficiency on this charger. I'd be happy if the engine just felt like I had a strong v6 or something. Torque is all I really care about. If you go on the Neon forums, everyone there is a supercharger hater saying you just don't do it because there's so much more to be gained by going turbo, blah blah blah- anyway so I got bored with my turbo because too many people have them, and now I'm going with this, just to disprove the naysayers. :y

Yeah my old avatar picture stopped working, not sure why, so I'll try to get a new one set up today.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

So the PS pulley was out and you didn't notice it until the sc was mocked, or the sc was off and you moved the ps?

Nice work btw.

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

That's the one.

thanks for the compliments

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

Awesome project. I love all the clean custom work done, and I gotta admit, that SC bracket mold was slicker then greased owl ----.

oh yeah, pictures of the sis! :6

Re: '96 SOHC neon- M62 supercharger- project log updated 07/26
 

I hate Neons. I'll make an exception for this one though. I hadn't realized that this project had progressed thi much. Looks awesome man. :y :6
