m90?

[twistie]

i have a buddy with a new eaton m90 he wants to sale , i was looking for an adapter plate to make it work on a 4.6 2v(97 gt) but i cant find out anything. Ive seen a few that have been side mounted on a 5.0 but i dont think i have enuff space under my hood ...... anyone have any info?

finding an adapter is like finding atlantis unless you make your own atlantis.

It wouldn't be all that hard to make if you have the know how though.

true, I've seen some stuff like that.... i think they used some of the earlier 2v Lincoln aluminum intakes and modified the plenum bolt down area to accommodate the blower and then extended the snout or something... not 100%

Is the m90 really something worth putting on a 4.6?

Someone made a kit, Tork sounds familiar but I can't remember. IIRC, the cost for all the hardware needed to mount it (not including the blower) was about the same as Vortech or Procharger kit.
There are better units out there with more potential that also are more cost effective.

Saleen series 1 and 2 used the eaton M90. Its really reliable, makes good power and you can make the spin faster than the M112`s.

do you possibly mean the m112?

 

[justinschmidt1]

No, he is right...they did use the m90 in the saleen stuff...I mean, I guess its better than nothing...but there is def. better options.

I have heard that the m90 is better at higher boost levels than an m112.

the m90 is a better blower, especially with some gtp rotors in a mpx case.

its only worth it if you can make the mount yourself. Personally id use some npi to pi plates and sheetmetal then its just welding.
