Eaton M90/112 Blower project

For those of you who originally said it wouldn't work....tell it to this guy:

I said it for a while until I contacted Eaton. They said it would work in unmodified form, but I'd HAVE to fabricate some sort of induction tubing (~140 degrees from throttle boy) to get air and keep the intake tract OUT of the firewall.

Also, throttle cable would be custom, etc...

If this guy can do it with an LT1, we most assuredly can do it on our cars...Eaton just didn't think it'd be worth the custom fabrication, etc. it would entail...maybe it will when this guy is done?!

:eek:

Besides...I just thought of this...

Why not do it like imports and J-cars do it? Mount the doggone thing on the valve coveres of one of the heads? The 240hp Ecotec 2.4L has it mounted almost like this...I've seen some TPI motors like this (and there's a twin Eaton M90 TPI 1980 Malibu like this on ThirdGen.org)....


...ideas. :)

Plus, the Eaton plant is less than 5 miles from here....hmmm...:D

The reason why imports have it mounted that way is beacuse they are mostly Inline 4 cyl engines. The intake manifold is on one side of the engine, the blower just replaces it.

The way you need run the pulley is like this.

You could mount it away from the engine, you would just have to make an inlet for the eaton to sit on that routes the air to the TB.

I know why imports sometime mount them there.

What I was saying was your other point: there are other ways to mount those suckers. GM is good at doing that, as are aftermaket twin Eaton setups...

donno if it'd help any or not
