I have both at home. A couple of each actually. :lol:
I guess I'm doing a test-fit? |
And measure the inner diameter of the rotor housings.

Make me. :booty:

From my very careful measurements, there's a consistent .005" difference between them. Enough that I'm not willing to sacrifice binding them up for a test fit. The 94/95 Gen3 rotors would fit rather tight (possibly over-tight) in a Gen2 case. Not only that, but I never noticed the bottom of the compressor housing is a different profile between them. The Gen2 is flat across the bottom, while the Gen3 is contoured for the rotors.
It doesn't matter, as the efficiency of the Gen3 rotors would outflow the inlet of the Gen2 housing so badly, you'd cause heat problems at any boost level. And the inlet of the Gen2 housing won't be able to flow enough for the demand of the rotors. You'd need a pulley larger than 2.8" to compensate. You'd also have heat problems in the inlet at any boost level. Not to mention that with the lack of 'side fins', the Gen3 housing is much stronger and thicker. Keep in mind we had a former member that swapped a Gen3 onto his 92 (same as a 93) but used the original TB. He never got the car running right. |

Bigbad, according to what I'm reading from you, the dealer didn't do any swap of any kind, other than the proper Gen2 92/93 setup that you should have.

This means your car has the 92/93 supercharger and throttle body on it. Which would allow it to run and function properly with the current PCM.

Ok.. BigBad...I'm going off the deep end here.
YOU HAVE A 92/93 SUPERCHARGER. PLEASE READ WHAT WE HAVE WRITTEN, IT IS APPARENT THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ ANY OF THE LAST 8 POSTS The dealer charged you to swap the 92/93 parts onto the top of the 95 motor. Honestly..I am unsure how we can be any clearer. |
