m90 in 3.1 ac location

[offroader]

Is there enough room to mount a m90 in the factory a/c location? I want to go supercharged and have access to a m90 and a m112 the m112 is too big for a 3.1 and the m90 is cheaper (125$) and i dont want a big blower sticking out the hatch of my fiero, so Im hoping the m90 will fit in the stock a/c location so I can intercool it will it fit there?

I am sure if you made a bracket you could get it to fit.

Go for it and post pics.

isi t a ford m90 or gm m90??? the ford m90 would be a better idea for a remote mounted supercharger, as it already has the outlet peice built for you.

You're just jealous cuz I have an M90 jammed under my hood.

..... does it still count if it's on a 3800 and it came out of the factory like that?

I have access to both a tbird m90 and a gen3 m90 hoping to use the gen3 as apposed to a gen1 though just would have to make a blower hat and direct it through a tmic kinda like this project: http://www.bonnefin.org/kwb2/M90projectSHO.htm
whatta you think would I have enough room In my fiero.

nope

But my 3400 will never be anything without my 3800. The 3800 takes me to work. Which gives me paychecks. Which gets spent on new stuff for the 3400.

Actually, I thought about letting my best friend drive the GTP, then lining up the 3400 Cav next to it. And seeing what would happen. Granted the J has quite a traction problem through 1st gear now with the 3400 instead of the 2.2

Hey, I all for "jamming, cramming, and ramming" ANY supercharger off ANYTHING that we could fit under the stock hood and get to work inexpenively. If i was rich, i would probably waste 10 milllion on EVERYBODYS ride on this forum to supercharge, just to "stick-it" to the industry for chargeing waaaayy to much for-em. I belive every American has a God-given right to own at least one vechicle in their life that goes REALLY fast and wastes gas. If I could help spread the love, I would, trust me.

With the few mods I have I manage to beat most and hang with other 3800s. It really pisses them off to and Ive managed todo quite a bit with my daily driver as I travel across the county. Lots of logistics and a heavy dose of insanity make it happen.

I can understand the desire to jam a roots blower under the hood, mainly due to how cheap the blower can be had for. Most people however forget all that is reqired to get it to work quickly offsets the cost of other forms of boost. Personally Im going with a turbo, you can get used turbo's off ebay farily cheaply and rebuilding doesnt cost too much. The trick is making the crossover, downpipe and intake piping. If you have a w-body much of this has been figured out, if not it just takes some time with a pipe bender and a welder.

Not to metion the much improved effenicy of a turbo over a supercharger.

[SHOoff]

That and the fact that turbos are cooler. Especially if the inlet on it is nearly big enough to fit your head in

[El_Diablo]

turbos make more hp per lb. of boost than s/c's

[mcgavinz26]

I would go with the ford just because the nose is so much shorter.

Why be so one side or the other? Myself? I prefer CFI BABY!!!!! What is CFI? Compound Forced Induction. Both supercharged and turbo'd. Best of both worlds with the problems of neither
