Default why dont they put M90s on 99-04s?

if you make an upper intake adaptor like they use for the m112 wouldnt the m 90 be about the same setup, obviously less boost but... has this been done? i cant find any threads i kinda suck at searching, i looked on google and there were a couple that were unclear and none were using intake adaptors. like instead of using the super coupe intakes which are
single port you could just make an adaptor for the split port. with that i would think that would make some good power for not too much money. idk maybe im missing somehting, lemmi know

split port, which is far superior to m90 single port

if you use the m90 you will most likely need an intercooler. that is where the main problem is. the m112 is big enough that it doesnt really need it on our little engines. that and its really not much more for an m112 than it is for a m90

Becuase you have to swap to the older heads and fuel system. Taking a step back, to take a step forward and only gain about 30 hp isnt worth it. In this case with all the work involved.

The only reason to go M90 is if you have a single port 95-98 sn-95 and want to go F/I without doing a split port change and then going the m112 route.

The difference between the single to split is around a 40hp difference. Thats why the 99-04s have a high hp stock then the 95-98s.

why? wouldnt the split port still hookup to its own heads just fine?

Ryan, no offense but idk what that means

the single port and split port design haas to do with the heads. The 99+ has the split port design which gives 40hp. The intakes have to be different to mate up to the different heads. An M90 was design to bolt to the single port intake, so if a new edge were to run it they would have to slap on older poorly flowing heads to do it and lose power.

well i completely understand the split port vs single port thing but im saying if you made an upper intake to go from the m90 to the split port like the way the m112 adaptor does than i dont see why you would HAVE to run a single port. are you saying this because the m90 and upper intake are one piece? i think we might be misunderstanding each other

The whole M90 on a splitport is just an inferior setup, especially compared to the M112.

I see what you're saying though, the same could be said for slapping a roushcharger on there since it's based off of the M90.
