- HOW MUCH POWER CAN THE M90 SUPERCHARGER MAKE? HOW CAN I ADD A JUNKYARD SUPERCHARGER TO MY LS? HOW MUCH BOOST WILL THE M90 V6 SUPERCHARGER MAKE ON MY V8? IS A 3800 V6 M90 SUPERCHARGER BIG ENOUGH FOR A 4.8L V8? HOW TO INCREASE THE BOOST OFFERED BY THE M90 SUPERCHARGER. CAN A SUPERCHARGED 4.8L MAKE MORE THAN 500 HP. HOW MUCH ARE HEADS WORTH? HOW MUCH IS A CAM SWAP WORTH ON A JUNKYARD SUPERCHARGED V8? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I RAN A JUNKYARD 4.8L V8 EQUIPPED WITH A CHEAP ($89 ON SALE WEEKENDS), M90 SUPERCHARGER FROM A 3800 V6. I PORTED THE OPENING OF THE BLOWER AND INSTALLED A LARGER THROTTLE BODY TO INCREASE THE AIRFLOW. I ALSO TRIED A NEW CAM, DIFFERENT HEADS, LARGER HEADERS AND A RADIUSED AIR ENTRY. LOTS OF POWER FROM A JUNKYARD BLOWER!

Id love to see this test on the 3800. See how much of a difference a bigger tb + ported inlet makes. Going from a 65 mm tb to like a 102 or something, port matched and all.
I had an L67 making 450HP. Intercooler was at least 40 of that.
Somebody please start making this adapter plate but not only make it make it so it's affordable. I I would buy one immediately.
The more I learn from you the higher up on my legends list you go! Thanks for putting in all this time and effort for us "loser" car people.
I'm a loser car person too
@@richardholdener1727 🤘🏼
Not 'loser'!!! just not financially predisposed for name brand performance purchases!!!
Or.....redneck engineered, for short!!!
@@richardholdener1727I have an intercooler for an M90 if your interested. (and a Gen IV M90 with machined snout and modular hub / various pullys)
Always knew it had it in it. Now put two on the big V10 Triton!
Lol, thats funny 😅
I'm tossing one on a 3vze as we speak ima keep it mild
I remember back in the forum days everyone said this SC was too tiny to make any power. That it was only capable of 250HP at the most, and way too small for a V8 😂
Thanks for proving all of them wrong.
Richard holdener himself has said countless times the M90 was too small for even a 4.6 until now.
I had a v6 years ago just sitting I acquired for free and I let it go for free because (never gonna) 😂😂😂 when will I learn. Dang you richard!
Crazy idea, could you use two of those superchargers blowing to the middle? Like rotate one 80 degrees left and the other 80 degrees right so they blow down into a 20 degree downward V into the intake manifold. I know the fabrication would be more difficult but then you'd have double the displacement and won't need smaller pulleys.
A square edge pipe inlet will only flow 72-82%. A radiused inlet will flow 97%. I was blown away when I read that on a Honeywell engineering document a few years ago.
A square pipe edge creates turbulence reducing flow.
I'm really interested to see your next video with the bellmouth inlet.
BTW, they make bellmouth intakes for HVAC systems. It's amazing how much an inlet is quieted down with a proper inlet.
Now THIS is true low buck hot rodding at its finest!
Would love to see this blower strapped to the LV3 4.3 V6, I've honestly fallen in love with the motor and would love to see a big bang of one maybe some day!
Appreciate all the work you do!
I continue to love the content here. It's not my lane, but I can see this in an S10 for somebody.
Phenomenal thought provoking info Richard! Does the final comment indicate that you may try this little blower on your LY6, or some 6.2L engine at some point? That would be interesting in light of all of these other surprising outcomes so far...
Now do junkyard turbos swapped onto the 4.8 test mule. Twin Saab turbos, single diesel turbo, compound turbos! woot woot 🔥
I bet an 18 wheeler turbo would be a pretty good fit
NO.....most diesel terboz have a max TIT of 900*C and for gas motors that is a bit low and they can have short lifespans if over temp'd....unless we run E85, that is :D !!!!....and big diesel terboz are...well....BIG and oft times pretty inefficient and/or have odd pressure ratio issues..... you can get late spool and poor performance unless you get the right ones...and on and on@@williamrouse3033
Love this guy. Thanks for all the testing
I had a 2000 Buick Regal GS supercharged 3800 this same exact supercharger I missed that car that's crazy if they fit on LS4 Motors though never thought about it
I always wanted to put one on my 3800 Series II in my 98 Firebird.
👍's up Richard thank you for sharing
I was thinking this had to make power. There used to be kits for the 4.6 ford mod motors and they made decent power. Thanks Richard!
would be a great swap combo into a beater in Pennsylvania with an Antique license plate . Say square body S10 with a hole hacked in the hood . Add a 100 shot and have smiles
I wonder what the design max speed of that blower is vs what it's being spun to now? It might be reliable regardless, I dunno. I'd just hate to do that and then blast a bunch of rotor shrapnel right down inside a motor...
that would be unfortunate......RICHARD!!! WE NEED ANOTHER JUNKYARD LS AND M90 BLOWER!!!!
LOL!!!
Put a m90 on the 4.3
Good work Richard
Thank you!!
That’s my name too 😂
Videos I shouldn’t be watching on a Monday afternoon lol
It'll be interesting to see this supercharger on a LV1.
Considering the lv1 is a ls based lt V6 unlike the LU3/L35, it should respond as well as the 4.8 LS, but even a LU3 4.3 with a turbo has known to snap the 10 bolt rear axles.
I'd love to see just how hot you could get a stock bottom end 3800 with the same blower
we made 450 hp so far with a 3800-that video is up
@@richardholdener1727 hey thanks for your reply and all your excellent work in the name of "science" I'll be sure to look it up.
I’d like to see a 3800 gm supercharger on a 5.2 318
I see some cheap for about 200 bucks but don’t know what else I need to make it work other than a lo ram intake or high ram
Glad you did the header test, because you know there were going to be at least a few crying foul. 537 HP is quite promising from what you started with. 👍
I picked up 20 hp in 2005 on my supercharged prelude with adding alky injection kit. Something to ponder
I have run wm tests many times-it picks up no power unless you add timing
@@richardholdener1727 why wouldn’t you add timing once the alky is on it?
then it's the timing that added power
You have an awesome job.
Now do twin turbos blowing into the M90. Just kidding. Kinda.
we did a single turbo blowing through the blower on a 3800 v6-that video is up
I wonder what this would do on a 383 built from a LM7, 243 heads all forged internals, btr truck norris cam with springs upgrade on 93
No way it makes 500hp!? -everyone on Facebook
Pretty much exactly what everyone said when i put a m112 on a 5.7 hemi.
@@andrewbmaster1852 haha Why would anyone find that unbelievable? That sounds very reasonable for a m112 on a 5.7
@@BearGrils55 people are dumb lol. It made 7psi with stock pulleys.
3.8 V6 guys have done it and roush using the Eaton m90's have done it in mustangs as well. The blower won't live long overdriving it that hard and it'll create a lot of heat. However it's nothing new.
Also you have to remember it's flywheel HP not rwhp. So figuring at about 18-20% drivetrain loss it's making in the range of 400hp to the wheels. Is it the most efficient way to make the HP? Not remotely.
You are absolutely correct sir...it made 537 hp... And there's a typo above that motor is not a Is cheapV6. It's a cheap v eight.......😂
[Darth Vader voice] _Impressive!_
I wonder if you would be able to use the lower portion of a marine intake manifold for a vortec 350/305 and make an adapter off of that?
might be able to
Richard I hope you had a great Thanksgiving..
I’ve seen your video on different size Intercooler and piping, but I wanted to ask have you ever done a video on: Ambient Air Temperature effects on Boost Pressure?
If so, can you please let me know the title of the video?
Thanks Much
Good stuff, Super Richie 👍Really interested in A/F distribution.
So on a 6.0 truck engine "Boosted" Is it worth going with double springs for more lift 600+. Or just use the BTR beehive springs I have. And find a cam with more duration. It's got the sloppy stage 2
Did I miss the part where you compared the O2 readings across all 8 cylinders?
Next video....@richardholdener1727 threw out some bread-crumbs for us to follow!
Hay richard. How come you never talk compression ratios when doing builds and adding turbos and super chargers
this was stock
Cross ram intake with 2 M90's
As an example of yes it can😊. But no way would the blower hang together at those speeds for any length of time😂
does make you wonder
Richard, you can increase the diameter of the opening on the bottom of the Eaton for increased flow. Probably still lots of info floating around the interwebs from the good ol' days.
ps - why no intercooler?
Probably next test, dangle the 🥕
the Tick intercooler is being shipped-wasn't there for this test session
i wanna put one on my Toyota 4.0 1GRFE :D
Nice work Richard! Those are good numbers. Can you say how much that setup costed from throttle body to pan? Not including fuel injection and computer.
not sure
Call a local junkyard.
@@omarboone1220 do they have aftermarket cams and springs?
@@SightsNjunk He said more than once, BTR Truck Noris cam that doesn't need aftermarket springs.
@@omarboone1220 Which junkyard do I find that at?
I dont believe there will much of a difference with distribution when the lower intake manifold is pressurized like a air tank.
Did it actually make 23 PSI? Wow never thought m90 can do that
no-nothing ever indicated 23 psi
@@richardholdener1727 3:04 it says 161 kpa? I thought you mean kilopaskal, a unit of pressure. What does it mean in that case? Thank you for replying!
I’m wondering at what rpm does the bottom end come apart??? Most likely valve float will act up before the bottom end comes apart unless it gets beefed up.
we cured valve float, and the stock bottom end has gone to 1500+ hp
And if you add an intercooler and turn the boost up with a smaller pulley?
YESS almost 6!🎉
Hey someone said you can't put an m90 on a 3.7L ford v6 from the mustang they said it wont work is that true?
Any motor can be run with boost-maybe they meant it won't bolt right on because the 3.7L doesn't have the same intake-you would have to do some fabrication to mount the blower
But would it be a choke point on an LS1?
NO WAY!🤯
I have a 87 chevy g10 van with a 305. I have access to a 350 or I can pick a chevy 2500 chevy truck with a 5.3l ls I could body swap. Onto. Would it be cheaper to build a 400hp 350 or swap the frame with the 5.3l 4x4 with the a m90. For 400hp as thats my goal hp
400 hp 5.3l is just a cam swap
@@richardholdener1727 both engines need a rebuild the 5.3 needs a transmission as well. Is the 5.3l worth it over the 350 to tow 4000 pounds?
I wish you would have actually spent some time on the HOW part of the video title…would love to know what all is needed to put the M90 on a stock 4.8 Silverado to make it a better truck, not a hot rod.
holley hi ram or low ram, custom adapter plate
thought about running one of these on an old 5.0, everyone keeps saying it wouldnt be enough blower. clearly it makes enough to break a stock block?
it doesn't make enough to break a 5.0l block
Could we see a pull on pump gas
So tell me what percentage of gain I can expect. I'm contemplating doing this on my '03 Sonoma SLS 4.3
you have a 200-hp v6-we have made over 450 hp on a v6-so you can gain a lot
Happy Thanksgiving , cool content , 537-507=30
Please do this to a 4.3
Please test the LSA blower and get IAT data
Probably cost a lot more than $90...but that would be interesting.
Try it on a 4.3 liter
Now do 2 M90. Or run that motor without the blower and show actual gains.
we did-see the other videos
@@richardholdener1727 so the blower picked up maybe 50 peak hp? Lots of midrange gains through the middle vs a hiram cam 4.8? Seems like alot of work for small gain. Would a stock 6.0 make similar midrange and peak #s as the blower with a smaller cam?
the NA motor made 385 hp (more with the Hot Rod)-so 100+ hp with the blower
I got a 6.0 and a series 3 supercharger
boom!
Hey man I have a blower which has an identical displacement as as the m90 tho it's a old school roots blower. How much power would I be loosing by sticking with a roots blower instead of the twin screw?
this M90 is a roots-not a twin screw
@@richardholdener1727 my bad 😅. So the m90 is a twisted 3 lobe and my blower is a straight 2 lobe. How much power would I be loosing by sticking to the 2 lobe?
It's a Ogura tx15 blower...
no idea
Need a 105mm TB on it.
it Wouldn't help. the 92 is already bigger than the superchargers yap.
Can you squeeze 2 m90s on there?
planned
@@richardholdener1727 I always wanted to use a budget supercharger in a compound setup on my 12 valve cummins diesel mustang. Supercharger like this to increase Volumetric efficiency basically linked to rpm would be great.. i could have boost easily and quickly when i bump into the stage beams.. and it would help to simulate a “bigger engine” to spool a bigger turbo charger like an S475 or 480. typical cummins compounds need to cram all the exhaust gas through the smaller manifold charger and it’s gate.. the supercharger would not have that exhaust bottleneck. is there “compressor maps” for the M90? I wonder what pressure ratios it can handle.
dang $89! what a steal
prober job!
Us “other guys” would love to see what that M90 can do on a 4.3 if you’re looking for video ideas. 😁
It’ll break the weak crankshaft. You’re welcome.
4.3 has a weak crankshaft??? I guess that's why the 4.3 will outlast its big brother the 350.
@@bly4233I’d still like to see it, just to find out what kind of setup Richard comes up with.
Shame GMC didn’t have more race parts for the 4.3, especially with the Syclone and Typhoon out there.
4.3 has offset rod journals to smooth out the uneven V6, but those are the weak spots. I had a friend break one he only hauled his family around in. Not to mention, they have an unreasonable amount of intake manifold and oil pan leaks.
The tests! Are here!!🎉🎉🎉boost hands 🙌 💨
Waaaaaaaaaa 🎉❤
If it makes that with one blower, they’re so cheap. Wonder what it would make with two of them…
I wonder how much this combo would make NA
see the previous M90 video-it made 385 hp
