well, it's finally done!
M90 supercharger fitted to our little 4 pots.
Goals:
- 7 psi for about 190hp
- keeping it reliable
- buy only what I can't fab.
- keeping the engine clean looking
- keeping it simple
Since I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, I opted for the DASC sytle design
here's the build in pics...
3D manifold
3D intake elbow
fabbed manifold
I didn't want to pay 150$ for a K&N filter with the bracket adapter and wait for the part to arrive in I don't know how long, so I made my own 3" filter bracket for the AFM...
3" aluminum pipe and 1/8" AL plate
Find hole locations and then cut
Fibreglass the peices together through the interior and then once it's dry apply 2 layers on the outside
Then trim and paint! no picture of part alone...
To keep it simple, I used the power steering pump as the tensioner, but before I dissabled the pump as not to move extra fluid around.
P/S pump apart
Onto the building part!
a common sight to most of you...
I didn't like the idea of a 25lb wight just hanging from the head, so I added an extra steel bracket that bolts right where the alternator bolts on.
Manifold on!
Blower on!
In order to keep it clean looking, and also for space reasons, I tucked all the piping under the manifold and elbow, in the large hole right beside the starter
Rest of the intake on!
For the details
- #40 injectors
- stock internals
- LC-1 WB 02
- bosch bypass valve
- modified rad hose
- 1:1 pulley ratio giving 6 PSI
- estimated 185hp
- no intercooler
- cooler plugs
- 255 lph TRE fuel pump
-
Tuned chip by midnight performance (great to work with!:D )
- relocated P/S reservoir
- stock throttle cable and TB
- 3.91 LSD Medium case diff
- 17" rims
was it worth it? YES! the torque is amasing! a little too much for the stock clutch to handle so it's on the wanted for x-mass list. It's really great to drive around and play with! best of all, it drives really great around town when getting lazy shifting gears. She has a really nice purr at idle however can't hear the charger under load (pulley ratio and loud exaust).
