Thanks for the reply Paul, I was going to use a 1275 head, chambers worked, etc. And it says in the description it can sit happly at 9.5 CR with a Cooper Head, so not sure. And I am only hoping to run the standard pully, etc, at about 8.5 CR (?). |

Flat topped pistons and the 12G295 give around 9:1.

Only reason I can think of is ease of installation, due to the kits from the likes of vmax and jonspeed. Also the fact that the M45 is readily available at a good price.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

The problem for the 998 is that you need to slow it right down to get it operating in its comfort zone where it will produce power producing boost. There are plenty of 1275s fitted with these kits that are running 15-20psi boost, but at high inlet temperatures that means that the air is not carrying the oxygen it needs to make power. Plus it induces detonation that will destroy pistons. The same kit on a 998 is a timebomb. Unless you can get or make a crank pulley much smaller than standard, then it will end in tears.

Paul S - I know it isn't best suited for the 998, but its something different. I just want something different, and show it can be done.

Paul S - I know it isn't best suited for the 998, but its something different. I just want something different, and show it can be done. I agree. One of my many enginbe projects is a supercharged 998, but using an Eaton M24 supercharger. I'm making a special pulley: 
That should give around 10psi boost on the 998 with the M24. Not much point in going much over 10psi boost on an Eaton as it starts to get inefficient IMHO. Now to slow the M45 to give 10psi boost on a 998, the pulley needs to be around 65mm dia by my calcs. Possibly too small for the belt to get a grip of the pulley and very dificult to get the crank bolt in. On 15th Jun, 2009 1987_ParkLane said:

If I remember somewhere I read that the standard pully on the Eaton 45 gives around 10psi boost towards top end, I will try and find it. But I do agree, would be better with a smaller pully.
He said the piston crown was 6mm thick, and he measured the dish on a 1293 omega (6cc) and the dish was something like 5.2mm, but because the 998 pistons are a smaller diameter the dish would have to be deeper, therefore wouldn't be possible as the crown is too thin. ??
Doesn't look good :( . |

Superchargers or turbochargers do not create boost. They create an air flow that causes boost pressure. With a positive displacement supercharger, you can do some rough calcs to give an indication of likley boost. An M45 pump 45 cubic inches of air per revolution. Thats about 740cc. If you run the blower at engine speed it is pushing 1480cc into the engine. So if thats a 998, then it's taking in about 50% more air. To get the air into the engine it has to be 50% denser than normal. Thats 1.5 Bar absolute, 0.5 bar gauge or about 7.5 psig. Once you take account of the heating of the air due to the compression, then in reality that would probably be about 10 psi boost. If anyone quotes boost without reference to engine size or drive ratios, then it is of little credibilty.

Would it be possible / easier to make a larger charger pulley to give the same effect of a smaller crank pulley to slow the charger down? On 25th Sep, 2009 mini13 said:

Also the alternative, so I have been told, would be a 120thou head gasket from: http://www.performanceunlimited.co.uk/Come...istributor.html Apparantly they can order one in from the US factory, but wouldn't that be like using a decomp plate, which I'm trying to avoid? |

wouldn't have thought it to be that expensive. The smaller pulleys MED do to increase boost are around £70, so shouldn't be that expensive to do a larger one? On 25th Sep, 2009 mini13 said:

Just to let you know, those pistons have been in since 2007 and survived more than most 998s see. So I can comfortably say there is enough meat for a 6cc dish.
