leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Doing a mildly setup( 4-5psi)w/ a Eaton blower (M90) and have som quests?? Engine is a 250cid Chevy inline, TH350 gear. Somebody know if one/two accessories v-belts would hold up the blower? or, just spinning? Trouble is that some changes needed to get the cooler even more forward for spacing, if a flat aka Eaton belt must be used....and innerparts of the hood then needs more rework,etc... hope not to need, but?

scottyd scottyd Active BB Member Registered: 10/10/11 Posts: 17 Loc: TX	Thats really cool. Forgive my ignorance but will it pull through the carb or blow through? I see in your second photo you have a spot that looks like it will connect the plenum to the intake. That type of charger comes on later model Grand Prix does it not?

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Got it panic, Super Coupe M90. Draw trough system, Rear rotor rollers changes to sealed, did know the original setup wasnt ment to draw gas trough, and could fail...even some hadnt got trouble. Lot of trouble getting some to use, but with help of some friends old storage,(Torrington bearing dealer)we found some suited in a drawer with seals. Plans to get grease fittings on theese, when we find a sulotion to making them airtight. Or just make shutted connections to remove for greasing. Bypass valve come frome a old VW ment to be mechanical actuated. If i do it with that, or use vacuum, not shure yet.. Carb "plenum" have heated "pocket" underneath for exhaust heat (connected to the bended pipes)Not shure if thats needed, but maked it if. I´ve seen some others setup, who got some problem with carb icing. Gonna be a low pressure system, approx. 4- psi, w/holley 500cfm 2bbl, water/meth injection, Saab turbo double actuated dizzy vacuum cannisters (/retard system). The HP output want be the most interesting, the "cool" factor is moore... ;-) _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

dodgycanuck dodgycanuck Active BB Member Registered: 01/08/10 Posts: 115 Loc: Milton, Ontario, CANADA	Nice set-up!!! I am doing a similar thing for my Nova. Eaton M90 from a grand prix. I made an intake and base plate for the blower. I had planned on using the factory 4 psi pulley but I have the 10psi pulley as well. I have found all the pulleys to swap to the serpentine belt but will need to add an idler and a tensioner pulley. I also have a holley 500 2 bbl carb and had thoughts of running the meth injection. Should be lots of fun!!!

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Should be, dodgycanuk! Waiting for some parts, and still have to sort out, or make new pulley/idler system. Worst thing is the crank pulley..... got double V original, and gonna use servopump for steering, But got a pulley in right size, trouble it dont fit the crank pulley, plan to machine a original accessory V pulley, and weld the middle part into the multirib pulley to use only for the SC. Doing in a mechanical shop setup straight, it wouldnt be any trouble! My tensioner plans from a Sprinter(Mercedes/Dodge van) springloaded w/ right idler pulley, quite easy mount also to the Chevy engine. Keep up, and make some posting on your progress! _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	From a MB small truck, needed replacement of the mountholes only... 4 on the MB, 3 on Chevy. ( 6 rib type) But not quite sure this was for the crank, or waterpump & other accessory.(said to on a crank...) Also took the pulley from the alternator, if i needed it...(Bosch type, similar as on my car from before, and that i changed pulley on some years ago to V-belt...) _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Been some time now without new posts....But now the freezing winter is near end, and my build is slowly going forward... Carb (Holley500) all new internal parts,setup with nr.65 jets, 8.0 PV boost referenced. Gasoline pump(SBC performance,with pump arm from original 250cid) also referenced. Water/Meth injection preventing ignition knock setup is soon to be finished. Fabricated new engine/gear mounts to space it a 1" more rearward to give space for the beltdrive against the radiator fan. Should soon be time to start mounting the parts on the engine! At least i hope i didnt forget something.... _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

Directional blades to get even distribution, internal cooling lines for watercooling. The water/meth injecion system is DIY, by Cooling Mist pump & nozzle, adjustable hobbs switch, and a reworked old school Edelbrock boost controller. ...and the picture lies a little... hole stuff coming lower, it was just a checking for space against brake booster, laid on top of the carb.... _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Thanks!! intake was a lot of work yes....a lot of checkin to find all angles, and to weld this right, as the crank angle. Sort out dividers, shaping and to weld it right where i wanted everything. Pulley is a original 3" 8 rib yes. Rest of the pulleys (crank/etc.) are reworked ones from a Mercedes.(some from a Sprinter and from an CLK) they fits quite well, and just needed drilled new bolt holes. Started the engine today, without engaging charger, just by bypass. Adjusted carb, and retighten all bolts. _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Started it today, and runs real great, on bypass. carb is perhaps a little rich at idle, after what my AFR meter says......but got other jets for the carb if needed. Wait to see how it will be with charger fully functional. Link to pedal is fixed, and yet working on the bypass valve. trying to make it mechanical adjusted, and to switch open by a blowout. _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	Progress is on!! The Holley 500 has got #58 mains, and lowered the bowl fuellevel a little, and yet the AFR begins to be right on, and runs great, even at only the bypass. Mechanical adjusted bypass is ok, with the use of the original "handgas mchanism" at the Chevy dash. Wire got connection to a spring at the bypass, and will flip open at high pressure. Water/meth injection is soon finished. The old Edelbrock Varajection, together with a pressurecontrolled voltage regulator, starts the pump, and pressure voltage regulator adjust the pump speed by pressure in intake. Got a electronic friend to do a search, and he came up with a knock device made by a spy hearingaid, who transfers the signals to LED´s. All pressure/vacuum hoses/pipes have got check valves, or one-way valves. A little drawback that the starter chrashed under this, and some work to get a geared aftermarket V8 starter aligned. Throwed the bolts who was in package, and reused original 250 ones, and suddenly it did get easier. Done some adjustment, check/fixed seal leaks,etc. But, is soon to complete it all with the pulleys in place... _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

dodgycanuck dodgycanuck Active BB Member Registered: 01/08/10 Posts: 115 Loc: Milton, Ontario, CANADA	I know it is a little late for this... but I saw a 250 with the same M90 you have. He had it mounted on the passenger side and the carb on the back, similar to yours. The supercharger was mounted upside down so that the outlet was facing up. He had a flange on it with a 3" tube that went ovet the rocker cover and into the factory intake manifold using a flange! Thing looked AWESOME! Took about 25-30 seconds of cranking to get it to start... long way for the fuel to go! Cool-as, though! My M90 is from a Buick Regal GS or similar! Looks really cool Leaded!

Crank pulley is on , checked lining, etc. Beginned planning of making fastener/bracket for belt idle/tensioner(s). And dodgycanuck, it seems as always,no guide is to be found, so skills with steel, weld & grinder is the only way to go. plan out, try find parts to be used, who could fit, and work from there! _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	1.st run charged today!!Engine runs even, and yet no meth/water is needed for ignition knock! Runs just 3psi for the moment to sort things out.... having trouble leaning out the carb enough at idle/cruise, but great on speed! Mercedes crank, idle/tension pulleys did the work for the belt, with custom brackets. The bypass valve ,manually actuated function ok. Needs a little more adjustment on the setup. How much more HP? But Torque is for sure higher!And in acceleration on passing cars at 55mph, it just got a lot of extra.

leaded leaded Active BB Member Registered: 01/15/06 Posts: 77 Loc: Norway	I did a mistake calculating out the crank pulley size....another is in progress now..,the reason for the really low psi. I´m using a GM Hei ignition, and with the full recommended setup it delivers some minor knock..Hei´s are known for the higher than normal BTDC/adjustment, but fixed by a adjustment, and connection of retard. Sparkplugs are dark brown, but even! My flow direction "flaps" seems to be functional on the distribution! Main "trouble" is the rich mixture at idle with the 500 holley, who i dont seem to get fixed. Its straight ok at cruise, and superb at full power.Lowered the float as much i can without making stumble,seems to changin of the idle restriction channels is needed...somebody done it? Suppose it is to plug them and drill with smaller taper than original. _________________________ "if your car needs more than 2 hubcaps, it ain´t COOL"

You might want to look into a B.T.M. http://www.amazon.com/MSD-Ignition-8762-...t+timing+master What is nice is that you can plug in a timing control knob also w/an MSD box & if it starts knocking, you can turn the timing down inside the cab. No need to loosen up the dizzy & re-adjust. MBHD _________________________ 12 port SDS EFI
