Supercharging my M60

[mark///m3]

Since day one I've wanted more power out of my m60 swap. I actually went down in hp when I swapped from my turbo m20. I've been trying to figure out a solution without spending $10k. I stumbled across some really interesting stuff today.

The parts appear to be from a Jaguar XJR. I went ahead and ordered one of the intercooler/intake manifolds to see what I am going to have to do to make this work. I need to upgrade my clutch and am thinking Miller's tune for a supercharged/turbo m60. I will keep this thread updated. Progress will probably be slow since I am very busy at work right now. Hopefully I will have the whole setup mounted in the next couple months and then work on piping and tuning over the winter.

There is also some kind of turbocharger package for M6x from factory as M6x variants were used in Bentley Arnage (?) in the '90s ;)

Space will, of course, be an issue in E30 body but everything is doable..

I'm in for this.

Look proper. The Jag V8 is so similar to M62s it's not even funny.

The upper intake I ordered came in today. I was a little surprised by the angle of the intake runners, I am hoping when the lower intake comes in that they will be curved to accept the upper section correctly for the m60...

Yup, that supercharger is one option I considered before going NA. Good luck, and share results!!!

This is the one I was looking at

Thought you were selling it.

Interesting... wondering what hood clearance is gonna be like (also rad clearance). Does the supercharger pulley line up with everything else, or do you have to get a new 'dual belt' crank pulley?

I will soon have all these answers.

Jaguar XJR? What's that about? Did they use a BMW m60 in it or something?

M62 and the AJ-V8 are very, very similar, but have distinct differences.
