Good luck on the project. I found it fairly easy to adapt the m45 to the m103. The factory 2.6L m102 is not a great match for a 3,000+ pound car as far as speed goes. But it's a stout engine and it really responds well to boost. A couple of psi makes a really noticable difference. Basically, with the little m45 done right, you won't have a ferarri, but it does make the car feel like it has a bigger engine with a much wider power band. It really wakes up the low end of the short stroke m103. I think you'll be happy with the increase. I'm on vacation in hawaii (YES!) for next week, but I'll be sure to post some pictures of the bracketry and piping when I start putting it all back together in 2 weeks.

AWESOME thread guys!

really my hat is off to you. i want to supercharge my M104. If you build it, I'll buy it. I'll drive all the way down to you too. Build one for a 91 300E with a 92 300CE M104 swap, 190E 2.3-16 manual tranny swap if any of it makes a difference. Keep it under 3g's installed and I'll be there in around 16 hours driving non stop I'll send a deposit right away too. I can't afford a 10g twin turbo kit from mosselman and the supercharger kit at 5000 UK pounds is around 10g's too.

PM your e-mail, we can talk!

Typejr:

I did a Supercharger install on my 1993 3.2L M104 for under $1200 in Dec 04. The key is finding a good deal on the right blower for your engine size. Beyond the blower it's just sheet metal, belts, clamps and piping... all pretty cheap stuff. I have my project documented in a Powerpoint slideshow I'd be glad to send you (the file however is almost 30Mb with the photos)

Best of luck!

93 M104's are pretty different than 92 M104's. and mine isn't electronic injection and other things too. I wish mine was the 93+ though

I would be very interested in seeing this slideshow. Is there some way you could host it since its too big to send over most emails?

please M104 1990-1992 info!

email me the file and i can send it

stevehowson@hotmail.com
OR
steve@ballardshaw.co.uk

Steve "I NEED a SC" Howson!
