Eaton M90 Supercharger project M44

[WhoNew]

Hey all. I know I'm nuts, but here we go.

Found this on ebay

less than 50 bucks shipped.

6 hours later


Obviously I need a short nose for it, and to adapt it to a stock, or make a custom lower intake for it. Thanks to Bluebimma for an awesome price on a stock lower intake. And then all the fun throttle body adaptation, and fuel, and well........ we'll take it as it comes.

Any words of ENCOURAGEMENT are more than welcome.

I take it that you don't anyone saying "what are you thinking?"

Actually, I applaud your imagination and resourcefullness to tackle a challenge like this! Go Who!

If you make this work you will be my personal hero. Amazing project idea.

well, dasc is 3200 +. And I'm sure it's awesome. but I don't have the option to spend that. My wife would kill me and sell my car.......

So, a little cost at a time, and self fabrication, and a little help from the smart folks here, and we'll see. I plan on taking a bunch of pics, and letting everyone know what I'm doing and how and why. that way, everyone can add their .02.

And yeah, I have read threads where everyone is bad mouthing people for trying (or asking how) to do something like this.

AWESOME. I think i got it so cheap cuz the car burned to the ground. Inside the S/C is very clean. I'll post pics if you want. No missing coating on the rotors, very few scratches. Actually spinning it by hand you can feel air coming out the bottom, so if it works at half the PSI it's supposed to, my motor will last twice as long.....LOL, always stay positive.

LOL, I have a thick skin, I'm a construction worker.

My fav is:

"whats the diff between a porcupine and a BMW ?"

" the prick is on the outside of a porcupine "

An oldie but a goodie.

FATHER, do you have a picture of the install ?? And who fabricated the intake and throttle body adapter ?

Yeah, I figured what the hell. I am a welder by trade, so fab might not be so tuff. we shall see.

I put one on my M44 in my 1996 Z3 - It screams.......
I have all the installation directions, if you like I could fax them to you - unless you can tell me how to post them on this site - I'm kinda new here, just joined today.

[thesk8nmidget]

if you have a scanner then you could scan them onto the computer and then email them to me and i'll post them.


can you also fax them to me?

Good luck with the build man and keep us updated. Added a few things to your package before sending it out as well. If im not mistaken, it might actually get there today.
