Face the opening toward the rear/windshield, like a cowl induction, to take advantage of the positive pressure that accumulates there???

Finalized the design mockup for my own personal/revamped
M90 supercharger build up..bottom and sides will be 1/4" alumn plate to withstand the shear weight of the m90..i could have gone more compact..but i have room so why not. Ill probably add a support brace heimed as well to support the beast.

I like that. Looks like it would work well with an M112 too.

Looks good! Since they are made to be "dry", what are you going to be using, EFI or carb?

Thanks guys! Undecided on how i want to fuel it currently..
I ran a draw through m90 e85 via holley 2bbl with stripped rotors..no seals for over 10k miles without any bearing troubles in the past on a blown 4cyl...im toying with the idea of twin impco 425 mixers for lpg...or another holley-e85 combo..i really like the intercooling e85 provides as my previous m90 would actually frost up after long pulls..maybe just add some top end lube to the fuel..but once youve had LPG...its hard to go back..i ran a impco mixer on a m62 samurai i had and it was AWSOME...nothin like grill gas...throttle responce second to none as vaporized propane doesnt suffer from any of the physical problems of a gasoline carbed setup..not even a crisp tuned efi can match it imo...we shall see....a pair of 425s, a pair of model E vaporizers into a oem throttle body is a real possibility...110 octane for 2.40/gallon..no fuel pump bs..i could go on and on really...

Yep...I run LPG on my 318 stroker engine and a gas research throttle body/ mixer,runs great,smooth and clean...oil never seems to get dirty between changes.

Stoich is around 15:1 on lpg...and mixtures under load preferre to be lean as well...with lpg...a rich mix does nothingto lower egt. Btu for lpg is lower than gasoline..but in my experiance, and based on long talks with carey at gotpropane.com...it works out nearly the same mileage wise. The 425 mixers are rated to something like 460cfm @ 1.5"hg

Well..i probably shoulda started a second thread for the blower deal..but i didnt..so ill just continue here i suppose..anywho..settled on a single 4bbl setup..mostly because i have all the crap i need already..gotta get my bottle refilled and break my a$$ open for some 3/8 alumn plate for all these flanges..
The carb adaper i made will have a 3" id velocity stack or rolled shape inside of it..rotors will be stripped and seals most likely added..i will be running e85 through this one.
