Supercharged Marauder as DD?

[Leonator134]

Hey all,

New here.. not new to the car scene.

First car was a '96 Grand Marquis, green on green leather. Currently daily-ing a build-to-the-gills 1995 BMW M540 6speed. Weekend cruiser is a 1964 Impala sedan, very nice mostly original car (just got a 700R4 over the weekend).

However, I'm potentially looking to get out of my 540/6 and into an SC'd Marauder.

Wondering- is anyone dailying a blown marauder? Curious to know if this will be a fun "daily" (not everyday but many) or costly. I'm used to some expensive maintenance in BMW world, but wondering how much the 4DOHC 4.6 and 4570W can take before there's trouble.

Car in question is professionally built, and built right with lower miles. I like going fast, but I like doing it reliably.

What say you?
(Hope this hasn't been covered ad nauseum, searched but didn't find my opinions on a blower daily).

[RubberCtyRauder]

Plenty here do it. I don't drive mine daily, but others do with blowers. It's going to depend on how built up it is, the supporting mods , the tune etc. can you elaborate more on the set up of the car you are considering ?

[Leonator134]

Rauder- let me send you a PM. Thank you for the reply.

Leo

[JBeezy]

I could drive mine daily but I don't since I have other cars to drive.

[Seneca]

I daily drove mine to 70k miles.
Marauderjack on the other hand. Well over 200k

[chief455]

the answer is, with proper supporting mods and expected maintenance - YES!
THE 4.6 DOHC & 4R70/75E & 8.8 are plenty for a 400-450 rwhp blower car on a street tune, daily, or weekend plus driven.
As said, some have 200k on their blown cars.
If it is tuned to not kill the bottom end of the engine (weak link when boosted), and you monitor the car condition frequently, everything else should last as long as stock.
good luck.

[345HP87SSAC]

Wife's car could be a DD. It is smooth and easy to drive.

[8UWITH6]

Drive my blue almost everyday boosted now for about 7K miles. Just a baby compared to most here.

[Comin' in Hot]

I drive about 20k a year in mine, I've replaced a trans and a rear, but I drive it like I stole it everyday, and I'm at 138,xxx miles.

[lji372]

Me me me me.


Only problem I have is deciding which one :lol:

IMHO mild roots blower is trouble free and makes daily driving a blast.

[Leonator134]

Awesome guys, thanks SO much for the help.

I'm looking at Steve's/ Embassy's car.

I love my E34 but I might just need to switch it up. This car would of course not be being driven though the awful New England weather. Have an AWD Subaru for that.

Thanks guys.

[chief455]

JUST DO IT!!!

Right car, top ten on the forum, needs to be driven and appreciated. I'd love to see it in person. good luck!!

it would be a shame to turn Steve's car into a DD

See my sig

[chief455]

I'm getting the vibe it would be more like weekends, or sometimes through the week.
I agree, Steve's car is show quality, but, another side says they are built to be driven and enjoyed.
I say if he has the cash, he can chose to drive it, and a car with high, well cared for miles is just as nice as a garaged show car - but the owner got more actual driving pleasure from his money.
good luck to both.

[MGDriver]

I'd love to supercharge mine but I also drive it daily at the moment, car ownership is simply too expensive for me over here to run a second car and then there would be the concern of how the supercharger would work with LPG.

[jdando]

Mine is my daily driver here in MN. 10+ Minnesota winters, snow tires are a must.

[justbob]

Check my sig. It's one of a few here that are way beyond a typical blower and supporting mods and has seen around 12,000 in the last two years (2,000 ish with the newer blower set up) and gets driven for all errands when dry out. It was driven winters till a couple years ago (but meticulously washed) but I couldn't stomach trashing the undercarriage after all the work I've done.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/02/06b88ad236c8caf10a5d6d45d5bbb2 a2.jpg

But yes, driven and driven hard, hauls my family of five, groceries, building materials, whatever.

I do shine away from anything out of state or racetracks however. The truck and trailer take over as the only two issues (vendors crap parts) I can think of cost me DEARLY to get the car back home. Could it be driven across the country over and over? Certainly. But I'm a person with little trust already, the aforementioned issues does not help that.

Drive mine every day summer and winter.Eaton blower,4.10 gears,22mpg at 72 mph,with 95,000 miles.Snow tires a must.

[Leonator134]

I do believe cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed. I would not be driving this car anywhere near salt or bad weather conditions.

You guys putting down 400+ to the wheels- does it stuff you in the seat pretty good?

[Leonator134]

I am also a very competent detailer, can more than keep the car in excellent condition.

[Gryphonzus]

I am putting 480 horsepower to the ground and I has over 80,000 miles and runs good. I take it on long trips to Maraudervilles and will not hesitate to take it anywhere. Steve's car is well worth the money and I would love to have it but I have enough of them already. I am due to pick up my last edition to my collection in a few weeks, a 2004 SB. Good luck on your decision.

[gpfarrell]

540/6? Nice! Rare!!!

Coming from that, a boosted MM will be an easy driver. Mine is in semi-retirement now ( followed, but not replaced, first by a tuned Ecoboosted MKS and now an F10 535/6!) but they're easy and fun to live with.

Biggest concern would be age, not boost. As they get older, they'll need more care and attention. So my experience with a car 1-9 years old might not compare to yours with a 11 year old car. But if you're acclimated to a 20 year old car, you'll be fine!

[Leonator134]

Nice f10! Yes my 540/6 is a rare bird. Very fun but not fast enough and is gonna take a lot more money to get it where I want it.

Would rather start with something else.

Yes, I'm familiar with 20 year old car maintenance haha. My impala is 51 years old :D

Thanks all.

Its nothing like it? You will love every minute of it..... I have owned 3 and a newly acquired one in the makes, they said the third time is a charm

[Windsor58]

Mine has a vortech S trim with over 52k blown miles. Transmission was beefed up when it was new when the supercharger was installed. Engine/internals are stock. It has 450 rwhp/409 rwtq. Its quick for a big sedan and a lot of fun to drive. It's my daily driver and has been from south Florida to Denver and many places from Des Moines to Dallas. It's seen 155 mph (and still pulling strong) and I drive it hard all the time. I love it. It's the favorite car that I have ever owned, including a Saleen and an 03 Cobra. It does take a little more attention to upkeep, but as long as you do, it's well worth it and dead reliable.

[jass_BH]

Mine is with vortech supercharger i cant use it DD as it always overheats :( the weather here is too hot for a boosted Marauder in summer it gets up to 52c and in winter the coldest we get is 13c for few days. (middle east weather).

As of today, I will be driving my eaton swapped car daily....swapped at 116,000 miles...

[Marauderjack]

I put the blower on mine in 2005 with 84K miles on the clock then proceeded to add 172K "Blown Miles" when I got a load of bad gas or the fuel pump gave up and the motor blew on a GREAT hard pull!!:eek: Rebuilt it with forged internals and have over 4K miles on it now with nothing but smiles!!:D

So I'd say YES....DD a "Blown Marauder" all you wish....just make sure you have a good tune......good fuel....a good fuel pump and a good "Smile Monitor"!!:burnout: :D:D:D

Thanks guys!

Mid 90's F to 105* F is average. What intercooler are you using?


Builder Of Badassery

[sailsmen]

As respects the fan, which is critical ~20mph-40mph, the key is the shroud.

Study the OEM shroud and you will see why. The OEM shroud enables the air that is drawn by the fan to flow over the entire rad cooling area.

Over 40mph the front air dam becomes effective.

The Reische Thermostat increases flow which reduces the duration of peak temps.

Redline Water Wetter also reduces max temps by several degrees.

The water to coolant ratio affects max temps.

Removing your front grill reduces max temps 5*-8* and reduces the duration of peak temps.

Turning off your a/c reduces max temps 15* to 20*.

If you stepped up to damn good intercooler, properly shroud your fan, confirm the fans you have are at minimum 2,000 CFM or MORE, and perhaps a cowl hood to extract the under hood temps then you would be on the right track.

I thought you blew the engine on the 1st 1/4 mile on the 15# pulley. No?

I'm running 12# and Tim Barth raised his eyebrows a little. But he installed the pulley and tuned it, and all has been good with the motor.

[Motorhead350]

I do not recall if I responded to the original question, but here you go....

YES you can do it. You will have zero problems if you keep it to less than 10 psi.

Anything above 12 you will break belts, so keep at least 3 in the car at all times if you plan on driving outside of your town or city. Keep tools in the car and spare parts like tensioners, spark plug and clamps.

DD with 16psi, get T bolt clamps and bearings that can stand greater than 18,000 RPM. Constantly check the car to make sure things are ok all of the time. You will need to check the gap on your plugs ever oil change or more.

8psi with a 3500 still, 4:10 gears and a few bolt ons is perfect. You will have a mid 12 second street car. Anything past that you will find yourself working on the car more than driving it if you want to drive it every day.

Take it from me, 8 PSI or 10 PSI is the LIMIT for a DD without needing to give it constant attention. Also, when parts break, your supplier will always be blaming the other guy and think you are stupid. It's an ugly, upsetting road full of never ending repairs and not to mention city MPG will drop to 5.5.

Anything else on this feel free to message me. Some will respond by saying this happened because the car was in my position and not someone else, but those people are lucky to put 5,000 miles a year on their Marauder while I did around 15,000 - 20,000 WITH BOOST. I'm not high and mighty at all, but I am speaking from experience. My Marauder is no quarter mile king, or show stopper, it's driven.

13#s is a waste on an 8.5:1 Cobra short block. You should be starting at 18#s IMO.

Unfortunately not my man. Been having been in the shop for some time. Still More than interested in having a look at it. However there have been some BMW prospects come across my path.

I'm in no rush.

Thats no doubt true. But the BMW in question is one that I've had eyes for since before getting mine.

Again, no rush. We'll see what happens.

My s/c, a Novi 1200 SL (vortec), was installed as a kit by Reinhart Automotive in Florida in summer of 2007 and is a daily driver, 132K now. Excellent service, the only problem was of my own making, tool tight is not the same as torque wrench tight.

Good luck. When I finish with mine it will be going into the Smithsonian. (Ha, Ha)

I run 10 psi on my 193k daily driver. No issues what so ever.. Typical maintenance and repairs due to age / mileage.
