turbo or supercharged carby 3.5 v8

**long stroke** · 26th January 2009, 03:36 PM

[QUOTE=2door grover;901268]Twin turbo would be the go, don't boost it over 7 psi on stock internals. Do a blow thru set up with a boost ref fuel reg then you just need two oil lines, exhaust manifolds if you can't flip the std manifoild.

Turbos are softer on pistions, rods and cranks then superchargers. if you get the right size turbos it would be on boost from about 1200- 1500 rpm. Last car i put a turbo (sierra) on cost me $100 to make the exhaust manifoild 200 for the turbo and $150 for the pipe work to the carby.

I want to do this to my rover after the move if i still have it. I think i could get it running for under $1000 with the turbos. I will do a write up if i keep the car and if there is enought intrest i'll make some extra manifolds up.[/QUOTE]

Please do

Are you after big HP and Big revs or a bit more torque and a bit of grin factor

torque

An Eaton M90 or Roots style of supercharger will do you fine.

does anyone know how safely someone can run an m90 on standard internals, using aftermarket management and injectors? i have already megasquirted my disco and adding an m90 wouldnt be too hard

Will soon.

I'm doing my Rangie with an M90 with V8 Dunny Dore Injection and Dizzy with Haltech ECU. My main concern is to not over boost it. With no intercooler 6psi is about it with this style of blower.
Stock internals will cope fine if it is not run lean or detonated

I messed around with an Eaton M112 a while back. I was putting it on an LS1 but in the end decided it was probably too small for what I wanted to do.

I've still got the blower and was thinking of selling it. This one has a decent flange on the bottom which makes it easier to mount for a custom application.

The M112 flows 112 cubic inches of air per rotation versus 90 cubic inches for the M90. The rotors are the same diameter as the M90 and the drive at the front is interchangable its just a couple of inches longer.

With the intake on the top it also lends itself to adapting a carb on there.

Cheers
