Will supercharger from m113 fit into m119?

My notion would be to contact the several companies that sell them. Even AutohausAZ comes up as a seller.

As for me, I once had a car with a turbocharger from a major US manufacturer. It trashed the engine but a complete [really complete] engine rebuild was done at no cost to me. I think that feature was discontinued after one year.

They are belt driven centrifugal superchargers, apart from one roots or screw, can’t tell which.
I like the idea of electrical centrifugal, but they need a separate 48v battery and belt driven alternator charger. I’ll wait until someone develops a more efficient 40W electrical vortex supercharger that can be run off the main electrical system. 😁

When a manufacturer such as Daimler supercharges or turbocharges an engine, they have a lot of extensive engineering throughout the internals just to accommodate the extra boost and heat. I remember just to add a turbocharger to the old OM 617 diesel , a lot of internals such as the pistons were re-engineered.

They also implemented an oil injection system to hit the bottom of the pistons to keep the heat down.

I think to do the job right it is a little more than trying to find a supercharger that will "fit".

It is really not that complicated. This engine was made to be boosted, it was used in the Sauber c9 and c11 race cars and boosted to well over 1000hp on a mostly stock engine. Mostly just to lower that high compression ratio. The guys at Kangaroo team brought one of their m119s to over 800hp on stock internals and have beaten the hell out of it on tracks day after day, redlining while drifting. Only head bolts had to be changed to thicker stronger ones.
