Eaton M90 Supercharger project M44 - Page 6

I will have to make a block off plate for the back of the unit, and it looks like it will have to be 1 inch thick, with a cut-out for the intake pipe.

WhoNew · 06-29-2008, 06:32 PM

TB = Throttle body. I think that's what you are asking.

I am at the meets almost every WED. I think I missed one so far, and I missed the BBQ.

I am a new member - what meets are you talking about? Are they open to all and any 318ti owners, do they have to be 318ti.org members?. Where are they held? I'm in the Chicago area - do you do rallys, track, etc?

I'm not a turbo guy myself -- Yeah, it seemed a bit crazy to me too. I kinda thought twice about it, But what the heck, you only live once !!

I have been out in the garage all day, and didn't get anything done..... UGH.

Started working on the sheet metal, but without a proper shop, it's tuff.

Todays events.

I got the bottom supercharger plate cut out, and the holes drilled for the mounting bolts. I It looks pretty good, but needs to be smoothed out around the edges. Keeping with BMW tradition, I wanted to use Allen Head bolts to mount it. (sorry no pics yet.) So I bought them today. I also got the stock lower intake manifold cut down, I'll have exact measurements tomorrow. I am also pulling the upper intake off of the car tomorrow to determine the exact height, and position the S/C will sit. (I'll take pics, I swear). Then I can get the new ZZP pulley installed (press on 3.4") the stock one is 3.8", and determine the intake (from TB to S/C situation).

Looking good man, keep up the good work.

WhoNew · 07-02-2008, 03:05 AM

Slow day today, I got the ZZP pulley, new vacuum tree for the top of the M90, and a new (stock GTP fuel pressure regulator) It needed a bit of work, but it fits now and works. I was told that the stock FPR on the GTP is a RRFPR.

**ChItalian1027** · 07-03-2008, 10:21 PM

awesome!! keep us updated!!

WhoNew · 07-07-2008, 12:14 AM

I haven't updated in a bit, here is what's going on.

After getting the manifold cut down, the lower intake adapter partly fabed and getting everything level and square, I thought I should take some more measurements to make sure everything was going to fit, and work okay.

WhoNew · 07-07-2008, 12:26 AM

Looks pretty good right ?? Yeah, too bad it isn't going to fit. the way it sits now, there is no room at the back. It would run into the brake booster. Also, the hood clearance needs to be addressed, not at the actual manifold, but where the nose and pulley sit.

In order to make it work the way it sits, (to lower it, and move it inboard enough) I would have to actually cut into the intake runners. This is not going to happen. I will try to see if I can mount it 90* and shorten the intake a bit.

This is going to take me a few days, but we'll see how it works.

FATHER · 07-07-2008, 01:40 AM

Yes i think the best way is to do a custom intake manifold without the oem, use the oem gasket to do the plate and the ducts are easy to do.
