Was this the old Alpine kit?

I heard the NGM kit had issues with the S/C hitting the firewall but it look like this kit had plenty of room, even enough to put the IAC in the stock location.

First set is a custom set up, the last two are the Alpine MP45 Kit.

Chris H's old RD1 Tib, and Bradley's (yamaneko) old Elantra.

I have some pictures that I have collected over the years, when I was considering doing a custom setup... (These pictures where all taken by someone else. If you took these pictures and want me to take them down, let me know!)
The first picture is from kennman. The rest are all pictures of the Alpine kit. The bottom ones were a prototype redesign (pictures courtesy dmdicks I think) - I'm not sure if it was ever produced.

The blue tib was Zoe's (Xorro) old tib! I believe she had her Alpine S/C running pretty good at 8 psi (smaller pulley).

Those last 3 pics of the polished blower were on my car when i was twincharged. It was nothing more than the Alpine MP45 kit together with the Alpine 15T Turbo kit. Yes, I am dmdicks... lol

ok cool. I have been away for a while. I didn't realize.
I thought that was the MP62 kit? It has a different snout and manifold then the other kits (MP45?).

Do you have any connections to get that MP62 manifold manufactured? I would think a lot of people would consider supercharging then... used MP62's (from buick's) are super cheap on ebay and at wreckers...

When the Beta2 engine came out Alpine had redesigned the intake plenum to beta match the flow of the Beta2 head so that meant a different snout. Same MP45 though. I also did prototype a M62, not MP62, race only kit that made crazy instant power but was hard to tune because it had no bypass valve. I mainly did it to show Alpine it could be done, but they wanted to stick to the smallish MP45.

ahh, gotcha. That must be what I was thinking of. Thanks for clarifying DMDicks! smile.gif
