Can I just build my own MS pro?

gotta agree on the civic vs protege sales...maybe you read it and it was historically...if you include the 323 i wouldnt be surprisedif the protege was the 4th(or at least close) best selling car of all time....but Mazda is increasing its Protege sales and gaining on the Civic,though I doubt they'll ever beat it

Wow keep us all informed how it turns out sounds like you have a very cool project going there.

Yes, The M62 is a supercharger. It's 62 cubic inches positive displacement. The one I'm going to use is off a series one supercharged Buick/Olds/Pontiac 3.8L. It has the bypass already built in, is just about perfect for size (the throttle body will be in almost exactly the same area it is now) and won't have to be spun very fast to make the kind of boost I want. This will keep the efficiency high and keep the inlet temperature down.
blowers lose efficiency the more you push them (they heat the air more for a given level of boost). If you use a slightly larger displacement blower than is strictly needed for your engine, then you can spin it a little slower to make the same level of boost as a smaller displacement blower. With the M62 I can spin it slower (it will live longer) and still be right in the meat of maximum efficiency at the boost level I want. I could probably boost this thing to 12 psi without straining but that might be a little much for our engines. Eaton makes a smaller displacement blower but it would be much higher up the efficiency scale for 7 psi and would be out of capacity much beyond that.
