Throttlebody placement for blower

[rcmonster]

I am attempting to install an Eaton M90 on my 95 GT Vert. Car is torn apart right now as I am trying to figure out placement. I have seen how others have done it but I think i'm gonna try it my own way.
My question is: can I put the throttlebody between the s/c and my intake manifold? Is there any reason why not?
Maf between s/c and air filter? I saw that other ones had the Maf and throttlebody between the s/c and the air filter. It would be a lot easier to pipe it if I can safely do it the other way though.

No you cannot, it has been tried, it doesnt work. The Eaton is a Positive displacement blower, it requires the throttle body the be before it, The thing with it being not behind the TB is that that constantly pushes air, and with it wide open like that you would see crazy pressures, porbly blow off hoses all the time, it just simply doesnt work that way.

If you want to see how I did it click the build link in my sig, very fun project with what feels like a good gain

If you have any more questions for me plz feel free to ask.


Edit: Just saw your sig with the or turbo, turbo is alot more work, I have a turbo sitting in my closet that I was gonna put on but decided for the eaton for the easier installation, turbo would be more effieciant tho. Also keep in mind if you go the eaton route theres not much room for expanding your needs, on stocks head I got mmine pushing 8 psi at time and thats about max for it, if you have an H/C/I, i can see max boost for this blower at 6-7psi, prolly down at 6. Just Things to consider. As for me another reason I chose the Eaton is because down the road (3-5years) Im planning on a 351 build with a kennebell, just wanted some cheap fun for now.
