Thread: Super Coupe Superchargers

Tweet

Has anyone run one, or more, of those (EATON?) superchargers from a Thunderbird Supercoupe 3.8L V6 on any other engine? Especially Small Block Chevy's? Did you use a adapter box on top of a stock manifold? How did you duct from rear of blower into manifold? HEI distributor seems to be a potential for clearance problems. What about Pulley drive, belts? did you lengthen blower drive?
Has anyone run 2 on same engine at same time (double blowers)? What about belt tensioners?
Anybody try one one a 2x4 barrel intake blowing throw rear carb opening with front opening closed and used for mount?

The Eaton M90 is what is on the T-Birds (and 3.8L Grand Prix, Regal, Impala and Monte Carlo). Magnacharger sells these as complete kits. But the supercharger that they recommend for a V-8 Chevy is the larger M112 that is used by Ford for the Mustang Cobra and F-150 Lightning.

Magnacharger sells complete kits for around $4000 to $5000. I'm using one of these on my 6.0L Gen III. The kits will allow for forward air intake or rearward intake. These systems work best using an EFI system.

hey guys ,what would you need to adapt the Eaton M90 supercharger to the standard 3.8l v6 cougar?(1994)

grab a super coupe that's still running. There is quite a complex system if you want to run the factory set-up. check super coupe website.

The lower ends on these cars are specific to having the supercharger. You might be able to swap the intake/supercharger unit only (with ECU and wiring), but you probably couldn't run more than 3-5 PSI boost.
