    Default INSTALLING A M90 on a 6G72

    THE THINGS WE DO

    So my girlfriend has been asking me for a while now to beef up her magna,
    It's and old duck, TE 3.0L close to 300,000on the clock, and she wants more power like my cars..
    So I said sure... Why not, the car it self is special as it the money to buy it was left to her by her now pasted on grandfather... " so buying a new car osnt in the picture"

    years ago I did slap a supercharger ( a eaton M90 from a chev ) on loud1, before the turbo... Made heaps of noise and got me around the 220-240 horse power mark, no dyno sheet was recorded! Because at the time I wasn't happy if only 240hp..
    But its easy enough to do..!

    The supercharger will be here next week and I reckon I can do a full custom set up for under three grand, I'm of to a good start...

    EATON M90 $500
    ECU $1000
    FUEL HAVENT GOT
    INJECTORS. HAVENT GOT
    MANIFOLD. ISNT MADE

    I'll up date this post as the build is happening,
    But just to let you know, I'll be make three manifolds to fit the m90 supercharger to the 6g72-6g74 they'll be for sale on amc when I have the dyno figures of the finished setup..
    "so if you want cheap power" and a supercharger Post in here.. And watch how I do it cheers

    Supercharging will def give more power but perhaps a simple 3.5lt 6G74 engine swap might be easier. Not loads more power with a 3.5lt but still an upgrade in my book.
    I just did the 3lt to 3.5lt swap over easter.

    Go a 3.5 then whack on the supercharger! LOL

    I want cheap power!!

    Yeah, but once all the hard work is done to supercharge this motor, how cheap & easy is it to put a fresher 6g72 (or even 74 or 75) under the SC ??

    I'll be watching too. I like seeing performance projects.

    Same.

    I've had a spare 3.5 laying around for ages now, and since I got rid of my old TE project I've been looking for a high kms car to buy for cheaper, then drop my spare 3.5 in, currently doing this project even though it isn't the easiest or best for power, it just gives me something to work on.

    3.5 conversions are not as straight forward as people may think, unless you got a lot of the extras you need with the engine.

    Easiest option here would be to get a 3.5 with the same transmission (auto/manual) as the current one, along with as many brackets, manifolds, driveshafts as possibly. Then and only then it would be a fairly straight forward drop in
