    help with fitting a m90 supercharger ??

    Need heads, injectors are in the heads on the S/c ecotecs, or you can get a N/a-S/c manifold from ZZ performance in the US for around $300 AuD posted. S/c crank balancer to drive the blower. And a compression ration a lot lower than 9.4:1. Good luck.

    [Ecotec] Needle rollers in M90

    Anyone ever got the rollers out from the back of an m90 casing? I've been told the easiest way is to tap a 1/4" thread into the little holes underneath then fit a grease nipple and pump a heap of grease in and out they come. Is this the best way? Were would I get a lone nipple?

    Vs water pump - Electric pump.

    It is pretty good, If the engine is hot the pump runs for up to 5min after shut down. If the pump dies it starts flashing warning lights at you, if the temp sensor dies the pump automatically runs full speed. It started to leek a little through a seal on the pump so I got a radiator cap with a...

    Vt booster m/c in Vr V8 with ABS

    Nice thread! a couple questions. Whats the difference between the vs and the vt booster/mc (size, pressure, strength)? Does it make the pedal firmer? I have the vt brakes/rotors and my pedal feels softer and with longer travel. Are any of the other models (vz, ve) bigger/better and will they fit?

    Vs water pump - Electric pump.

    Just found this old post of mine thought I'd update it. Pump is mostly good takes a while to reach op temp but when it does it keeps it very stable, but we had a couple 40+ days in Syd this summer and if you don't keep an eye on it the temp can jump up before the fans cool it and you get a few...

    Okay multiple replies. Sircruise: Showing my lack of tuning knowledge there, just thought that a tune was a tune, and if i changed the cam then would definitely be a new tune no? As to where it was tuned I was living in NZ in 2009 built engine over there and brought it back plonked it into my...

    t5 and vt ecotec

    Got rid of the T5 out of my S1 vs v6 it was a horrible box with a horrible cable clutch holden gave the v6's a weak box with a huge gap between 2-3. Can put (forgive the next statement) Ford xr6 turbo internals inside with better ratio and good for 300kw and then a hydro clutch change but with a...

    (LSA 112) It was an NA cam but as I said I made do, which is why i was thinking ditch it for a more FI based cam. Don't think twin 2 1/2 will fit, 2 1/4 might. If I get the heat out through an IC, a bit of cool mist and as you said twin cats and twin 2 1/4. Thats about a total of $2400 and a...

    Thanks for your input Immortality. Don't want to mod the bonnet so can only fit a 25mm IC under M90 so options are Yella's or Mace's small ICs, which they say drop temps around 30 degs c. Also can't get much more puff out of little blower I would love to toss on a tvs 1900 but thats another...
