anyone installed a Eaton M90 superchrager on tehr 3.8L v6? Need help
Hey guys I was offered a used Eaton m90 Supercharger for my 3.8L v6 for $100 works and is clean. I was wondering though what all needs to be done to the cpu if anything to get top performance out of it and how would I do so. Is it a major project or are there any problems I need to think about before I get it? Thanks

You need a HECK of a lot more than the M90 itself.
First, make sure it's off a Ford 3.8L V6 Super Coupe. If not, don't waste your money. Alot of people try to pass off other applications of the M90 for the Mustang's 3.8L, but they all don't work, you need the right one.
Aside from just the compressor, more or less you need the top half of the motor. Airfilter, MAF, inlet tube, inlet plenum, blower, blower cap, pipe to IC, IC, pipe back from IC, lower intake, pulley set up, fuel rail... then you'll need to upgrade your fuel pump and have the whole thing tuned.

Yeah, LRoush is right, you need a ton of stuff to get it off the ground. You need all the plumbing for the cooling system, custom throttle cable bracket, custom brake lines to master, egr will get in the way, custom egr tube if you have smog, a/c isn't going to be easy to hook up, alternator needs fabricating, there's quite a bit to it. It would be easier if you had the whole car, or at least the whole motor, IC, blower and all that. If it were me, I'd go with a pro charger or vortech and call it a day. If you are handy with the tools and fabricating misc brackets and such go for it, but get everything before attempting this BIG project.
