Drivetrain 62 kit on its way to M7 ... Yes it is happening
#476
I for some reason think I heard something about the M62 kit, the "Juston" header and a whole bunch of other stuff being "officially released" at MOTD. I have no numbers at this point. I'm one of the idiots who jump into a project on blind faith in the mere idea that something could work purty dang good.
Longboard

Recap:
On the last episode of "How the M62 Turns" catastrophic engine failure temporarily dashed the hopes of the R&D crew. Undeterred, they appear to be busily trying to prove their detractors wrong.
In the meantime, silence from the brave men of vision, passion and drive has led the masses to start talking about boring books on economics, commie products available at the nearest Best Buy and becoming Ministers of the Cloth.
The question remains - what is happening with this once claimed Holy Grail of R53-dom?
Will the bold predictions of one handsome and dashing young Fijian prove right? Is the M62 destined for failure?
Stay tuned.........

I know this sounds like crazy talk, but I only want to pay for things that do what the manufacturer claims they do. Simple.
Just my opinion.

Please stop derailing this thread with your babbling.

I have over 15K on mine and beat it regularly......
There will be five 62 cars at the Dragon...... I think that it is ready for the next phase.....

Dave told me 2 days ago that the Dragon would be the official release... that is what I meant by "next phase" ... I hope that is clear.

Every product I've ever been involved with the development of
has had a pile of wreckage next to the workbench before release. Some of the products are even class leading! That's the way it works. And every snipe comment leads me to believe ever more fervently that there is no point in mentioning anything until release. It's not worth the stress.....
So what we end up with is less cooperation and group solutions to avoid easy cheap shots.... Oh well. It's just what I expect from Human Nature!

I'd edit your thought to read 'it's just what I expect from certain human's natures.' Because it isn't everyone doing it, it's a select few that ruin it for the community as a whole.

I wonder how many stints...
were made, tried, and thrown away on the way to the stint industry that we have now... OR blood pressure machines, or patient controlled anesthetic machines....... Or MRIs, or CAT scan machings, or X-ray machines, or radiation oncology, or joint repleacements and on and on and on.
And in fact, there are times when new stuff is tried on people who are too far gone to have any hope, so that we can develope new techniques and proceedures. And people die from it.
Sorry, but that was just another example of a thoughtless comment. Thanks for the contributions....

Get off your moral high horse, Matt - it was a joke. I'll edit my post so it's more obvious.

wow Gr8Force, so the header is made of ceramic? i understand the coating is ceramic but the actual header itself had to be made of either Stainless or mild steel, which was my question, which has not yet been answered. so you understand now or should i try this again. i don't know how else to ask. for the $950 hornguys paid i'm assuming it is stainless, but at least i know there is a ceramic coating.

MINIBLU has been back for about 3 weeks now and the M62 has made a generous difference in the 'butt dyno' department. With the stock header, and DDM CAI, the power is smooth all the way through the gear box.
I will be at the Dragon and rides will be available. I soon will be sending a second car to for the M62 treatment.
Thanks All

I'm guessing about 30 hp more? How much $$$ is the new bigger supercharger? I'm guessing about $2500? Does anything else have to be changed?

Hey Jack, I'm glad to hear that your happy with the car. I had the privilege or driving your car before and after the M62 went on. Your are correct, it wakes the car up considerably. Also, your description is accurate - very smooth.
Bob and others are correct. At the Dragon, there will be an informational "release speech" about the M62 given by Dave. Most, if not all questions will be answered there.
The list is growing with the number of cars with the 62 on it and have had no problems - that's exciting!
