Haven't see any new info for a while and wanted to know how it's going. Did you get the boost up?

 

We haven't gotten it out yet. He got a boost gauge hooked up, and just (in the barn) quick raps to about 3K I think he gets about 3psi. We are swapping his old computer for the faster '165 hopefully this weekend, and he's gonna order some Moates tuning stuff so we can see what's going on tune-wise. Even at the 3psi he sees, it is blowing the TB boot off so we need to find a solution to that before anything else, really.

 

keep us posted.

 

holy crap, I was wondering about the m-90 and this engine the other day. If your boost ends up too low, you can find a higher boost pulley for it, or a larger crank pully I'm sure. WICKED swap man, just wicked. Let us know what your hp figures are when you dyno it. I might do a twin turbo swap soon. -Colt

Do you have any new news on the set up yet. I am really interested in how you ended up.

 

The computer has been down for awhile so i havent been able to post any updates. Yes the blower is working great, we made a few small changes to optimize it. Been busy trying fix all the small problems like exhaust , brakes tunning to get it running right. We should be taking it on the road this weekend, i just pulled it out of the garage last week. I was having problems with the boots staying on as they would just blow off under a little rev. so i bought heavy duty t-clamps and solved that problem! ill post some pics and updates after the weekend.

 

Awesome! I basically just want to get on this thread, but i loved saturns car and im excited to see how this one turns out, Great Work!

 

ahhh yes, for once the nitro is right. lol ya' know iroc, you dont have to go nuts finding an m-90 high boost pulley, you can get a larger crank pulley, this is what I did to increase my water pump, alternator, and power steering drive speeds. (man my car has good p/s. lol) all else fails, find yourself an alternator pulley thats small and use that. might take some mods, but it'll do it as long as you keep it balanced and not off rotation. (done it before on an mr2) another cool thing that you can do is use your supercharger system like a nitrous shot using an import starter, and some misc. bike tranny gears at the right ratios, built into a box on the supercharger, and hooked to a spair battery for power. sounds jerry rigged, but this was actually an awsome working production prototyping test a friend did on a 90' lemans 1.6liter and it put out 13 pounds, had to cut'er down a bit. lol. Eventually we blew it up with the full 13lbs and a 6500 rpm down shift. It was beautiful. He's still got the system somewhere, awaiting a new victim. I'll see if he can find it and get some pics. also, my next project is going to be twin turbo'in the firechicken. modestly at 5lbs boost max. I'll either box the carb in or do a suck through, but I wanna use an intercooler in the process of things, and blitz blow-offs. I'd be running 2 tripple K 26's and right hamd ram horm center-dumps inverted. plumbing's no big deal, neither is wastegate control. I'm the turbocharging g.o.d. ( why wont it let me say g.o.d. without the periods??) . well, have fun. -Colt Got boost?

 

wow this is impressive apparently from the look of these set-ups its more pluasable and much easier then i could have ever imagined

 

brought back a 2 year old post...

I wonder how this thing ended up?

 

Wow this thread has been for awhile, but Ive since sold the setup to another member on this board, everything turned out great and worked good. Ive moved on to bigger and better projects.

 

Hey i have some questions about this set-up and using an M90 for my project. First i was wondering if you had to do any mods to te blower itself to make it work. would the m90 work or would i need a bigger blower? what kind of boost could you see out of your set-up and also what kind of power difference did it make. was it worth it for the price?
