mounted on it backwards...looks to be for a FWD application... :(

[John D.]

So he mounted an M90 on an intake manifold off a 3.4....that's not even on the car?!. That means nothing. I would say you could do that to any manifold, but fitting it under the hood and getting everything work with it is a whole other story.

I know your just showing this to us, so that wasn't directed at you southern

If you read through it, it says this was for a Baretta. FWD. This has no bearing for us RWD guys.

[Oryan02]

Unlike others here. I think that it "could" work. Only difficulties that I can think of would be hood and cowl clearence. I think it could be a good alternative to the 3.4L guys. It would be even easier for the rest of us 3.8L guys. Again. It would take some time to get it to work but, it seems that every supercharged car on here has taken some time to develop.

doesnt the motor sit too far back in the bay to fit in correctly with a roots type sc on it??

Yep, especially since the air intake on these roots style blowers is on the opposite side of the pulley. Now on a FWD that's not a problem because both sides are open, but on the RWD the end opposite the pulley faces the firewall. That's the problem we've all had w/ this type of setup.

IT'S BEEN DONE. Its not a question of "If" it would work. I have seen pictures of a gtp blower on a 94 3.4.

Wish I had a GTP sc on my 3.4 [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

ok im new here but what is the roots type blower im not big onto forced induction and another question..all but would the stock internals be able to handle the boost??

[Loochy88]

man what were those guys smoking.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

( would now like to direct your attention to picture #13 )

Roots-type superchargers are belt driven, unlike vortech, powerdyne, or procharger blowers which are geardriven.

[Riles]

Thats not correct. The powerdyne units are internally belt driven, yet are still centrifugal chargers (not roots type).

[pvtschultz]

Roots and Whipple type blowers used inter-meshing lobes that move the air mechanically. The M90 is a whipple style, drawing air from one end of the lobes and forcing it to the other. A centrifical supercharger is basically a belt driven turbo charger. Energy is added to the air by the means of centrifical forces where air speed is drastically increased. When the air enters the intake tract, the velocity is reduced from near Mach 0.6 to near zero, causing a pressure increase. A turbocharger does the same thing, but the energy that is added to the intake air is extracted from the exhaust stream, making it more thermally efficient than the supercharger.
