It's been done before. So It's not very difficult. But you will have to fabricate some sort of bypass like the ones for centrifigals. One of the members on the Corral has done this.z9_87 said:I was thinking, could you just make some tubes and treat it like a centrifugal type blower? Like a tube to where the intake box is and then a tube to tube up to the tb. I could mount it where the smog pump used to be. (custom brackets)
proxses said:I did it with an M112 for about a grand total, including the blower.
I was introduced to a guy at a local machine shop who made me a completely new snout with shaft and 6-rib pulley, along with the plates for the inlet and outlet of the blower (to make the custom manifold adapters) for a grand total of $300.
I bought the blower off ebay for $400. And got an FMU for $50.
The I made an adapter for a GT-40 lower out of 2x4" box channel steel. Holes for the bolts and runners were drilled with the above machine work, and I just welded end caps, and the blower outlet adapter plate to the box channel.
The box channel also helped get the snout of the blower anout 1/8" about the distributer cap.
Next I made a sheetmetal inlet for the blower that had the throttle body mounted to it.
Actually quite simple once I think about it.
Let me look for the link that gave me inspiration to do the project.
Oh, and my setup was in the heavy 4x4 Ranger in my sig, and it was faster than my brothers C-5 vette. Well, below 70-80mph it was, then the brick like shape started to really hurt.
Edit: Here are some pics, and a tech article for adapting an M90 to a Ranger 4.0L.

not the most efficent way to make power, but it does work
speadfreak said:Doesn't anybody remember the BBK Instacharger. It used the same M90 that is found on the Supercoupes and XR7s, only with a shorter snout. It was mounted on the passenger side like most centrificals. The M90s generated ALOT of heat. The early models (with the oval shaped inlet) are very ineffecient. The ones that came on the 94-95 SCs and XR7s are much better. The have a larger, rectangular inlet port that is placed slightly higher than the previous model. There are companies like Magnum Powers that sell replacements (or they will modify yours) that are "worlds" more effecient than the eaton. I put a 15% pulley on my 90 Supercoupe, ported the blower, ported the inlet tube to match, bought a cheap CAI off ebay, had a custom blower outlet made (to get rid of the bottleneck on the stock piece), full exhaust without cats, flowmaster midsection and some cheap turbo mufflers.............and it went .54 sec. slower at the track, all because with the 15% pulley, the amount of heat generated from the M90 killed HP.
just my $.02

There are many places that sell them. I bought mine from Racer Walsh, other companies such a Super Coupe Performance sell them. They are all about the same price wherever you buy them.Daggar said:Where do you guys find the different sized pullies for the M90?
