I dont know if i dare.
When numbers are too small,its dissapointment
But it think i should dyno it,because its fully stock g60. Good to know what numbers we can ,when just changing charger.

Sorry if this question has been asked before but can you bolt up the brackets to a ABA block? How much boost can you get out of these chargers? I would like to run 15-20 psi, intercooled. My new project came with a g60 swap but I have a built aba,c2 #42 software bla,bla but no turbo yet or exhaust manifold.
Thanks I'm hoping to have time to read through this on the weekend looks like lots of good info.
#1300
Has anyone come up w/ a method for running an Eaton in an A1 chassis without having to use the G60 tensioner setup? It seems like at least half of the folks have clearance issues...
Thanks, Jeff

Now only piping to do. What you guys think about cooler fitment? I dont know do i like it or not yet.
#1304
Dosent look bad, a little off centered though. Are you using that pulley on the m62? It's a little big don't you think?
#1305
Centered ,then "cooler to eaton" piping is harder to route. At moment its almost. Original m62 pulley yes. Because i havent drive this car with charged,i dont know what to excpect.For start i just want to get it work as stock as possible. Then look for more power( bigger pulley,bigger injectors,more fuel pressure,chip etc.)
#1306
#1307
Yes, i have driven about a year without g lader. I know yes,that smaller pulley makes more boost. I take it step by step. I am running 6PK1685 belt. Factory belt is little short,because eaton is further away.
Some update:
Intake piping to eaton is ready.
And cooler to engine piping is also ready.
Now need to fit about 20cm piping from eaton to cooler and its ready.
For finish piping will get matt black coating.
#1308
So today is the big day. Finally got all connected and ready.
But,no boost at intake. Checked that if hold hand in front of an intake pipe before tb,then air is moving good,so i doubt that piping leake is so big. When give it a gas in neutral,then it spikes 0.3-0,5bar. But when driving, 0psi.
Already removed isv,this aint leaking.

Weirdwhat are those red/black wires on top of the blower about?
#1311
These wires are sc magnetic clutch wires.
Today checked original bypass and its also works good. And still no boost.

^^ I wonder why mine has no magnetic clutch? Did you figure your boost problem out yet?
#1313
No,it looks very weird problem. Checked bypass. At first i could push it open with finger,after some modification it was good and closed as it should at WOT. Still no boost. Checked hoses and all looks good. But It must be some hose leak, no other explanation. I dont think that all boost could escape from cracked vacuum hoses? Vacuum hoses looked also good.
Is your m62 also from mercedes? We have in estonia one g60 more with M62,and he has also magnetic clutch.
#1315
Hi guys!Are you shure the clutch is engaging or stuck open? It should be like the a/c compressor outer pulley and center piece should spin @the same pace,hope you figure it out! Looks great mate!! Roderick
#1316
I found my boost. As i thought it was silly mistake. One hose popped very little of the pipe,and leaked. About 70kmh with second gear i saw 0,5 bar.
#1317
#1318
Glad you found the leak, where was it? And I can't tell with that video how much boost your hitting. Are you still all completely stock? No chip, for, injectors?
#1319
At end of rev limiter it hits 0,5 bar. Yes all stock. Suggest me a chip maybe?
I live in estonia,its hard to get good things over here.
#1320
I'm running a stage 4 BBM chip. I also did not know my car had a chip from previous owner. Supposedly its a old school Sns chip (evo-91 octane ) haven't ran it with the sns chip. I don't feel like pulling the ecu back out. I talked to Jason at BBM and he recommended me the stage 4. I'm happy with it, although I haven't tried my other chip so can't compaire. You NEED a better for, and injectors. Don't run the car hard till you get a chip and the fuel accessories. And get a smaller pulley.
#1321
I think that without smaller pulley,and only 0,4-0,5 bar it should be okay at moment. If it melts, then it should have done it already, floor it all the time.
But yes, i need fpr,injectors and chip. Your right about that.
#1322
Did your original serpentine belt fit over the pulley on the eaton?
#1323
No. I measured lenght and bought 168cm long belt. 6PK1685 should be.
#1325
Yes,it blows about 0,55 to 0,6 bar. Spark plugs are good brown,so airfuel mixture is good.
Next weekend is streetrace season opening,then i can measure 1/4 mile ET.
Only problem at moment is that my second gear is difficult to get in,when accelerating full throttle. Changed all engine,trans mounts. Also filled back engine mount with windscreen glue to stiffen it up. I have rubber mounts,not hydro.
Still not satisfied, must change front mount to solid metal maybe.
But yeah,2 gear hard to get in. Its not transmission case, i think something with gear cables. Some ideas?
This is 0-100 kmh video,with very long gear change.
And this is just 2 gear and some 3.
#1326
So today was chance to get some 1/4 mile times. Best ET was 15.9.
From this i can say that about 120kw is from engine. Car stock emty weight should be 1180kg. I took out spare wheel,and rear seats. Maybe -20kg. 1160kg + me 110kg + about 25kg fuel is 1295. Lets say 1300kg. We have in one estonian usa cars site very good ET times calculator,and from this i can say that approximately 105kw from wheels. And its about 120 from crank.
Now its time to think on standalone. Chip isnt worth the money. And its not so accurate also.
Next goal is 14.9 ETFor this i need 130kw from wheels theoreticaly. About 145-150kw from crank. Not so easy
Edit: Trap speed was almost 142kmh , 1) car is lighter than i think 2) there is more power from engine. Calculating shows about 125-130kw from engine with this quarter mile trap speed.
Some day must weight the car.

Just bought a m62, looks like its from a cobalt/ion car. Anybody make adapters?
#1329
Can anybody identify this eaton? Don't know what it came out of, but it only has 30,000 miles on it and supposedly a 20psi pulley...
*just researched more and it's a m62 from a Buick*
