Well wayne dont lose sleep mate, and allow people to have some fun

He is letting people have fun, but for £200 you won't get very far.

As Wayne mentioned you will need the M62 as the M45 is designed for a smaller engine. You will also need to fabricate brackets and piping as well as buy couplers and have a remap done (that's £150 alone for this engine).

As Kells said, you will need new management if you want decent output. I think the standard ECU can be made to work with boost, but only on very low pressure as it's not designed to run boost.

Then you've got gearbox and engine, they're not designed to take boost. The 020 gearbox will implode if you chuck a supercharger at it, so you're better off using an 02A or 02J. The engine is also not up for boost. You can run low pressure boost without building a forged engine but if you've got a supercharger, and you're spending money you might as well run a decent amount of boost otherwise it's money wasted.

You're looking at around £800 minimum to run a low pressure system.

plus at least £500/£600 for standalone management if you go this route

as said, would be a great project if you carried it through


must say. agree with Khare

+1 would be good to see it happen, but as Kells, Khare and Wayne have all said it will take a fair amount of work and money, not just a simple case of buying a charger and slapping it on.

M62s from the US for 150 quid, brackets fabricated locally wont cost too much, I forgot about management tbh but thats probs 200. Stacked gaskets to lower CR, gearbox should be fine, and pipework wont cost the earth the same as injectors off a VR. Dont get me wrong I'm no expert, and you all probably know more than me, but reading the stickie on it and it doesnt seem to add up to £800. A fair few people have done it and I dont think any of them changed their gearbox. I'm sure you could get it all done for less than £500 which wont break the bank. I'm not trying to create an arguement guys and maybe I'm being a bit naive but I think I may go for this in the summer so I will keep all updated if CCGTI has not done it by then  :smiley:

Best to shop around but ecp and gsf are good places to try.
