Eaton M90 Supercharger

[NewStangOwnr]

I just bought a good condition one for fun and was wondering if these can be used carbuerated? I can't find anything on it. It may be going on a 302.

Thanks for the help!

I dont think they are made to have fuel ran through them.

you can make it work, but you will have to change the seals, and you will have problems with tuning the carb. it wont want to stay tuned. much better would be a weiand blower, or the B&M blower with a carb.

What vehicle did it come off of? Mount it on top of the passenger valve cover, from there run piping to an intercooler of some sort, and then a blow through carb. Basically turning a roots blower into a centri....

hmm. thats an interesting idea, but a hard one. You would have to mount it "upside down", as the air obviously has to come out the bottom. So you would need a manifold type set up for that, then run that to a IC, then from there up to a carb. Lots of work, plus the belts would have to run all the way up there.

Thanks for the help. We'll see what I can do when it gets here.

If I convert to fuel injection it will work right?

Depends where he got the M90 from. The Saleen ones were mounted ontop the intake, outlet on the bottom, with a heat exchanger fed intercooler inside the intake. The thunderbirds would be best for the application I mentioned. The outlet is on the top. From there it went to an intercooler, and then back into the intake. Make sense?

Check out this website. toohighpsi.com This guy put 2 M90's on a 351w Tbird and went 10's in the 1/4. I have been think of using a Cobra or Lightning supercharger the same way you have discussed. Good luck and keep us posted.

Makes sense that you could do that for the thunderbird set up. The saleen is just like the cobra set up, and just how you mentioned it. Bottom/rear output, through the intercooler which is in the intake. I cant take a picture if anyone wants to see a 03 cobra set up.
The only thing about mounting it without an intercooler that would bother me is that the Eatons are known for being really in-efficient and a high-heat blower. Intake temperatures could be real high? Also, intakes on the cobra/saleen models is in the rear, so running some sort of intake would be difficult if you mounted the blower on the valve cover.

 

[NewStangOwnr]

Yup, the outlets on the bottom, inlet is behind it.

I was thinking of running it like this...

Intake on bottom, blow through carb, with studs, then mount the supercharger on top.

And I would fabricate dual air intakes coming from the back to the front grill?

Like stated, you need some sort of intercooler with a "heaton"

Mount the blower upside down, over the valve cover. Fab a peice that goes on the outlet, to an intercooler, then to a blowthrough carb and carb hat.

How much boost are you looking to make? V belt or serpentine setup?
