Hey guys. This may be crazy. This may be stupid. BUT... I can get one of these things DIRT CHEAP! and, when something like that happens to me, I start thinking, maybe I can actually pull this off! I would be getting what I would imagine the most expensive part of a build like this for very cheap. That alone is encouraging to nail a project like this.
So, before this becomes a really bad idea and a project way beyond my realm, I want to know if THIS supercharger was ever fitted to our 4.0?? It looks like it would be a great model to go with this engine. Here is the newer model form the web site, but I believe the specs are very similar:
M90 Supercharger
I figure, for the price I can get it, it might be a really neat project to work on over time. I would have no rush, infact, I would have to wait until I have my own garage and another car to drive when I actually do the install. Until the actual install, I can work on acquiring parts and engineering the whole thing.
I see a ton of turbo builds on here, but never a twin-screw supercharger. These things are my all-time favorite mod for boost. They sound sick, and no lag. They put out a good amount of boost making heavy modifications to the block not necessary. I would imagine that with the turbo builds, the computer tuning would be similar (if not the same)? So... I want to hear thoughts from you guys. I really may do this. I always wanted to do the stroker, but I think this would be comparatively just as good for power improvement. And, aside from the fuel and tuning, I feel more confidant in installing this than ripping an entire engine apart. Plus, could make a really cool write-up!
(Mods - not sure if this thread may be better in street/performance?? move if needed.)
