    M62 Supercharger Build

    So I've been considering a turbo for a little while, but never really knew how to do something like that, I considered a supercharger as another option but never thought I'd end up doing it, but after talking to nepbug a little bit I decided a supercharger might be the better option, so after a little looking on craigslist I found someone selling an Eaton M62 kit for $800, I was able to talk him down to $700 so I went and picked it up the kit included the following:

    -Eaton M62 Roots Supercharger
    -Type 14 water to air intercooler
    -Type 101 heat exchanger
    -Type 200 Fluid reservoir
    -Bosch Water Pump
    -Misc. silicone fittings
    -tubing
    -3 vacuum switches
    -Supercharger intake and exhaust manifolds
    -Electric cooling fan


    The only problem with this is I'm not too sure what I am doing, so it'd be great if anyone who has done this or has any knowledge of this kind of project to sort of guide me, like things like do I need any more parts, do I need some sort of Engine Management, and where should I start; any input will be much appreciated



    -Thanks, Steve


    and heres some pics of everything included








    (sorry if i sound like a noob, i'm new to the whole forced induction thing)

    But I've had somewhat of a setback, my front, passenger side CV axle went out the other day, and in the the process of replacing it noticed the driver side boot was torn so figured I'd do that side too

    and theres a few thing I have questions on:

    What kind of engine management unit should I get?

    and I'm planning on relocating the throttle body, is it possible to extend the cables or do I just need to get long cables and replace the whole thing?

    No, not really much progress since then, decided to go with a different intercooler though; havent had much time to work on the build with working 6 days a week and needing my car for that, but now I got myself a second vehicle so should be making progress soon.

    6 days a week is good for earning money and not spending money, but just wish it didn't happen when it's good modding weather out.
