The Mégane II Owners' Club

hi

Ive been thinking about putting a Eaton m45 supercharger onto my megane which is a 1400cc dynamique can ANYONE give me any tips on what im going to need to do please thanks alot Andy

No one has done this...

You will be the first...

I can't see it fitting in term of space, or the cams, pistons, manifold handling the pressure/forces. Not to mention changing injectors. There by no means built for it...

Good luck all the same I think you will need it, make sure to put up photos of the job.

It won’t be as easy as just slapping on a super charger, a lot of other parts will need replacing (if the replacements for them even exist) If it was me I would save the money and buy a 230 or a new 250. Either of which will work out cheaper I would imagine.

And isnt the M45 rated for 2.0L and above?

And what i remember from uni is a supercharger gives an average of 46 percent more horsepower and 31 percent more torque. -- Buy a 225/230

Although say you get it fitted and it 'works' as soon as you put your foot down some part will go bang no doubt.

As above, the car will literally fall to pieces and the cost of this will be £4-5k and that's if the parts are off the shelf which I doubt very much. You will need to fabricate fittings, manifolds, brackets etc. etc. Cost could run way way above the cost of a 225 and you will end up with about 150-170bhp for the 5 minutes it will drive for. Good luck though.

Im sure they was someone on the Clublupo site that fitted a supercharger to a 1.4 lupo think it even made it to a magazine spread, have a look at that site.

Goodluck
Alan

just had a look at the lupo very nice i just wanted to know if anyone had done it or could it be done was going to be an experiment but i think im going to pass thanks guys
