Re: i am at the crossroads klze, de, or bp
if i do go supercharged de route i have the m45 i think (supercharger off mercedes) and i want to put that in place of the ac and a front mount i/c. i just dont know how to regulate the boost running to the motor on a supercharged setup
Re: i am at the crossroads klze, de, or bp
another thing i was thinking but know i dont have the money for is swap the mazdaspeed 3 motor in. that would be sweet, 265 horse right out of the box. to much fab work though

When running a m60 or m45 (m60 is the clk kompressor charger) you regulate boost via pulleys. The stock, clutched pulley only will give u 3psi of boost if that. You would need to get a overdrive crank pulley or a 2.25" pulley for the charger to churn out 7-8psi with maybe a 1-2psi loss through the piping and intercooler. You should run a intercooler if over 3-4lbs of boost on a roots style charger as they create alot of hot air that can lead to detonation problems.
