I was wondering why you were able to help so much. Do you have any pics of the setup?

Nope, but then again, it's not really complete.

Here's some specs:
FD serpentine setup
Greddy v-spec FMIC
S-AFC2, Walbro 255, 720 & 1000 injectors
stock TB mounted *BEFORE* the charger
charger sits ontop of the engine, blows out to the drivers side into the IC, comes back on the passanger side through a custom intake manifold which mounts ontop of a ported tII LIM to fit the n/a block.

Have you been able to start the car yet, and if it is running what psi have to gotten to?

By the way that is a cool sounding setup

Nope, still busy ordering parts & fabricating stuff up. I'm going to start with an S-ported M90, and if I can't get 300hp out of it, then I'm putting the M112 in it's spot. If that fails, it's time for a Wipple.

That is too cool. I like the way you are doing it. I was just trying for more power for less. But as you know these things take on a life of their own. I think I am going to check all the vac lines for leak and then get a smaller pulley and a cooler.

Expensive is my problem. I wasted all my money on the other stuff.

But don't worry, as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to slap a Whipple 2300AX (2.3l/.834cfm p/rev) on there. That should get me somewhere.

sonic, have you thought about either porting that supercharger yourself or having someone do it?

Haha, why is that? I want this damn m90 to put out at least 300hp, or I'm going to be pretty unhappy. As far as I can figure that's about the limit of it. If it doesn't work, that whipple sure oughta be interesting, Almost .8l/rev more than the m90.

I cannot wait to see some of the write-up on these supercharger projects.

I just need to make some money so I can start my own supercharger project.

Good work you all.
