Fitment issues with a M62 S/C on a MX3?

Post by Juans_93_MX3 »

If I had a M62 with me, i wouldnt be asking this question
In 2 years I plan to install a S/C system

I was just wondering.
If I wanted to make my own custom bracket/adapter and put it where the A/C or power steering is at, would there be enough room?
Would I have to cut into the frame or anything like that?

I'd most likely want to put a M62 where the power steering pump was at.

I cannot see how that could possibly fit there. With a header on I could barely get my engine in past the steering rack and subframe. My official prediction is no way Jose.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.

M62 should fit in the front if you relocate the oil cooler. Dansac is putting one on his 323.

I've toyed with the idea of twincharging the mx3 just for sport if I could ever come across a deal on an M62.

It gets done in probes all the time, where the ac goes, however they have a bit more room than we do.
