You can keep using the youtube comments as you have done. What can I help you with?

@@makecoolstuff9170 what manifold did you use to cut drill etc or did u find an adapter to make the Eaton fit ?

@@DarryModz Edelbrock Jr. with custom plenum between the sc and manifold.

@@makecoolstuff9170 so u cut out top of manifold correct edelbroke manifold look like there’d me a leak if I was to cut in to top at least 1 I found you have any pictures I really want to get this done

@@DarryModz Have a look at my video "DIY Eaton Supercharger Installation - Part 3". Hopefully that answers your questions.

Ditto brother

If you increased the piston ring gaps it will stand a chance of staying together. Otherwise, someday it will break a piston.

@@makecoolstuff9170 That would be a good idea. However, I'm not planning to keep the 3.8l. I've been working on this car for a few years and I have upgraded the suspension, fuel system, exhaust, and I'm currently working on rebuilding a 8.8 rear end with 3.73 gears and 31 spline axles. Car is ready for a engine swap, I think a 5.3 LS would be a great engine, cheap and simple.

That is an excellent idea.

@@omaron5175how what adapter I’m trying to do this with my 2v 4.6 2001 gt been research but no luck

@@DarryModz My Mustang is a 3.8l v6. I needed a custom adapter plate that bolts to the lower intake manifold. For the 4.6l Google "Tork Tech kit"

Vineland, Ontario

@@makecoolstuff9170 Have not been in that area for years.

That would be a good project.

@@makecoolstuff9170 great idea honestly. its already getting 8 mpg anyways and maybe it rev less now lol

Thanks for watching!

Yes. More videos being worked on now.

I didnt worry about it. It leaks a little when first filled with water and after a while the wood swells and it stops leaking. The internal corners could be sealed with silicone if leaks were a problem.

@@makecoolstuff9170 oh ok, I've been thinking about doing something similar and put pond liner inside to make it more water tight.

Thanks!

Thanks! I will make more pinball videos.

Thanks! 6-8 lbs of boost will work great if it is intercooled. Heat is the problem (not the boost) and intercooling is the best way to reduce heat. The Kennebell supercharger is one of the best units made. Your mustang will be very quick with that much power.

My wife's family is from out that way (last name Kippen) and we attended the games once a few years ago.

@@makecoolstuff9170 aaahh I gotcha 👌 well hopefully they are a go this year and yall are able to attend!

There are no drain plugs on any of the M90s that I have seen (Tbird or GM). The only way to change the oil is to remove the supercharger and then remove the snout. The noise is likely due to a worn coupling and you will need to remove the snout to replace it. Not a difficult job. Just time consuming. Be careful about not getting the used oil on anything. It stinks.

@@makecoolstuff9170 thank you I appreciate it.

@@makecoolstuff9170 thank you I appreciate it.

Thanks. I am currently working on a new pinball machine myself as well.

Playfield is 20.25 x 42 and standard 1-1/16" pinballs were used. I have not spent any time since the video upload working on any pinball projects but hope to get back to it this coming winter. Thanks for watching and your comment.

@@makecoolstuff9170 Thanks ever so much!

IPDB.org had an entry on the machine with a pretty decent picture of a backglass. I was able to get someone to correct the image into a flat view and have been using software to touch up the image. Once I am happy with it I will get it printed onto mylar.

I am not familiar with the sc400 but the M122 can easily support 550 hp (probably 600 hp). I would recommend intercooling and/or increasing piston ring gaps. Head porting is a good idea but not essential. I would spend money on cams before spending money on porting, if cams are available.

@@makecoolstuff9170 here's a link with info if you have time www.carinf.com/en/bf0048821.html I've heard from around the net that the heads are the most restrictive part on 1UZFE v8's so i would definitely be doing that. Kind of didn't want to take the whole motor out, but if you think it is better to change the rings out as well i'll probably just replace the pistons when i send the heads out for porting. might as well be at peace with that. But if i'm going to rebuild the engine then i might as well go for more than the 400 hp. ( again i'm still in the planning saving and speculating part of the project and i really appreciate all the info you provide)

@@GOLD_FEVER400 at the wheels is 480-500 at the crank which will be quite a jump from the stock 250hp. It will be well worthwhile to be cautious and put in lower compression pistons (best to use forged pistons) Use the appropriate ring gap for boosted engines. The piston manufacturer will likely have recommended values. Its hard to imagine 4V heads not flowing enough (do you have flow values for the sttock heads?) and just keep in mind that head porting often doesnt give the same hp dividends in boosted engines as it does in NA engines. Easier and cheaper just to make sure that the engine is stout enough to handle the boost and increase the boost. Everytime that I have looked at ported heads, the price has dissuaded me. Also, try and find out if your transmission and diff can handle that much boost. Supercharging really increases the low rpm torque and parts can start breaking.

@@makecoolstuff9170 ok, i will definitely talk to my mechanic about doing a compression and leak down and just overall checkup on the health of the car and i guess move on from there. thanks for the tips!

@@GOLD_FEVER One last thing. consider using an M90 for your engine. A ported intercooled M90 will make 500 hp and is cheaper, smaller and easier to find than an M122.

no. it's all screw on screw off.

I only used the boat for one season but it is still in good shape.

The best way that I have seen is a side mounted installation on a SBF. Google "eaton m90 mounted like centrifugal". I plan to try that arrangement myself and possibly get it all to fit under the hood without resorting to a hood scoop.

@@makecoolstuff9170 im wanting to do a top mount for the "look" already have to rebuild my fiberglass hood so I can make my forced induction style hood work as I need for that. I just couldn't find an intake solution under 2k for the magnum engine. I love the power of it just nothing till 3k.

@@makecoolstuff9170 o one other thing. Zzperformance has an amazing air to water intercooler for the m90 if you start looking to upgrade that part.

@@cornercarver08 THAT is very cool! Thanks for sharing that information.

@@cornercarver08 Nothing more than a sealed box with mounting provisions required to get the air from the supercharger to the intake manifold. My power numbers were very similar to those that Richard Holdener got from a purpose built Ford racing manifold.

Thanks for the sub! There will be a dedicated crown vic video later this year.

From last dyno run: Starts at 152F ends at 218F. The car had already heat soaked from the previous run. This is with meth water injection (assuming that it was working).

Interesting. A ceramic coated piston would help. I will check it out. Thanks for the comment.

Your truck did well to last as long as it did. Boosted vehicles often have short lifespans :-).

Thank you for your comment and for watching. I do plan to do a video on my crown vic in the future.

Thanks for the sub! More related videos to come.

I agree with you. You could probably make 450 hp with LT headers, good flowing heads and good street cams and have a much less troublesome engine that fits under the hood. Cost would be comparable to supercharging only because good flowing heads are so expensive for these engines and LT headers would require some fabrication. However as soon as you want more than 450 hp, you will need a power adder.

Yes, the plan is to continue with pinball machines in the coming months.

Thanks!

thank you.

@@makecoolstuff9170 yes you’re channel is one of the most in depth and honest channels for performance and I got more information from this channel than I have any other so far. Keep it up 👍

@@ethandworzecki5034 Thanks! More to come.

Yeah, 10.8:1 is high for boost. I think you would be ok for 6-7 psi if you intercool, run high octane gas and be conservative with the tune. Opening the ring gap would be a good idea too. Lowering the compression is the best way to get a good boost friendly engine.

Thanks!

I cant recall if I mentioned it before but my garage is in the middle of a big renovation that will need completing before any car work can get started. Wiring, drywall, new concrete floor, lights, insulation, heat and AC.

@@makecoolstuff9170 it'll be the perfect place for you to make cool stuff! I had to make the pun haha.

@@madmod :-)

Octane additives or E85 will help raise detonation thresholds.

@@makecoolstuff9170 well I enjoy the videos keep them up! I was reading somewhere that the M122 is roughly about 62% efficient and a vortec centrifugal is about 71%. I get the impression that procharger chart is a bit of marketing or based on older roots variants. Still is is all about keeping that air cool ...

@@zomie1 Efficiency is a weird way to look at these blowers. Technically speaking, the case of an m90 reaches over 85% efficiency if your comparing the 90cubes per turn to its inlet flow @ rpm. The problem with this the stacking of the air builds more heat with the m90 due to higher rpm needed to turn the blower but the driving losses of even a very overdriven m90 is far less than the m112. Centrifugal can move a larger volume of air than some of these roots design but they require nearly 4 times the blower speed to do so which is a good bit of parasitic losses @ redline and they do not come close to volume of air moved at low blower/engine speeds.
