Question on supercharge placement.
Has anyone tryed to put a roots, or eaton type supercharge in a spot similer to the FAST kit?
If you remove the fan on a earlyer model car, it apperes, at lease from my point of view, that a Eaton M112 might just fit, provided proper ducting, assumeing you used an intersting belt arrangement, and a right angle drive. The way I'm currently seeing such an instlation would be with the Eaton turned 90 degress from horizontal. The inlet would be pointing toward the raitator, the outlet toward the engine, and the drive shaft toward passangers side. Mount the 90 degree drive on the end of the drive shaft, and run a belt from the crakshaft, to the airpump, to the super charger, or something like that. The air would have to be ducted first down to the eaton, and then up and around one side to the air/water intercooler, and then back to the MAS.
There would have to be quite a bit of duct work to make it fit, but I've seen some similer duct work on a Desile Detroit engine's roots blower. (not to say that it's perfect)
Does anyone know offhand how much torque and horsepower the normal V-belt can hanndle?
Is there anything oviously wrong with the thought? It's what I was thinking about the whole time I was fixing a stuck brake caliper.
Thanks

ViribusUnits,
I was told off-record by Magnuson that the v belt should handle 4psi boost on the M90. What that does for the M112 I dont know.

I don't belive Eaton makes a right angle drive for their unit.
However, I can't immagine that I could't get one from somewhere else. Larger units are common on farm equipment, and they're not all the uncommon on oil feild equipment. The trick of course would be finding one of the proper size and strength. Even then if I couldn't find one that I could bolt onto the Eaton, I can't imagine that a machine shop couldn't make one out of parts reletivly cheaply, that I could bolt onto the Eaton or roots blower.
Thanks ya'll. The more I think aobut this, the nicer it's starting to sound.
