Thinking about making a custom lower intake to bolt on a l67 m90 supercharger..what do you guys think? Would the power increase be worth the effort..i think it would be something cool and unique..

It is doable tho it takes more effort than you polly want to put into it a kid in rhe past did a3100 beretta z26 you'll have to do something wwith the decklid the charger will sit.too high the injectors will need moubted differently . As for the snout you will either need a different snout or have to puchase a zzp ssm90 pulley for it to line up with the stock setup. I mean its definitly a cool idea just ALOT of work needed

3400, like the 3.4 pushrod similar to the 2.8 or the DOHC? Sorry, that gets confusing sometimes as people say one when they mean the other. If it's the 3.4 pushrod, sounds intersting, I know someone did something kinda like that but mounted the supercharger off to the side of the engine.



I think the one area you may have trouble with is that the M90 was used on a 90^o V6 and the 3.4 or DOHC are 60^o. That might create some difficulty with overall height being to much to fit under the decklid and would explain why they mounted it off to the side in the above pic. Of course it might be possible to add a decklid scoop to give more clearance for it so long as the pully end didn't interfere with the decklid support structure.

Is there a build thread on this? Thats really interesting.

I've see. That car before online doing some reading there was also a lt1 camaro with 2 m90s mounted exactly like that fiero, it was pretty cool

Unless the chargers are basically free imo a turbo is a cheaper easier route

I would not get too excited about this side mount install. Its right over the exhaust manifold where loads of heat will be present. Heat in the intake is not benefical but I guess an intercooler could be added. I would reccommend a turbo instead....., lower cost, easier to install, and more horsepower potential.

The m90 I have was free!

Even so ,by the time you are finished dicking around with the pipe fabrication, pulley mounting and bracketry for the side mount setup and not getting results, the turbo would have proven to be cheaper AND more effective. That supercharger was designed to be mounted over the engine on a water cooled intake manifold, not right over a 600* hot exhaust manifold.

I don't plan on remote mounting it. As stated in my first post I plan to Fab a lower intake manifold to mount it on

I agree it would be a fun project but personally don't see the point. Don't let that stop you though, our cars are all about having fun your way.

and just so that nobody is confused (Khw), by 3400 he means the aluminum head push rod engine.
