Has anybody read the artical on the custom supercharger for a 1996 RL on page 74? They put together a parts list and list of companies that can get it going. I have been waiting a long time for this and will look into getting this setup if the price is right and the performance is good.

I feel ya, but add in either the modified or custom intake prices (For the normal person who doesn't have alot of hookups) and you'll be on just about the same level.Mike Diaz said:
We could go on and on about what would be better for what, and at one point I thought the roots would be the best as well. I'll put it like this; I like FI Legends period!
I don't give a shit how someone does it, but if they do, and get it running right they get my respect and admiration, you know what I mean?Well, you know my stance on the subject haha. Centri vs. Turbo vs. Roots; the centri (while costing more for the unit) would be the best way to boost a Legend on a budget; and we're just talking for fun, kind of like a street/strip car.swift said:
If someone wants to make a little over 300WHP, and be the king of the highway and shock some people at the strip, go buy a used (in good condition) centrifugal of your choice, fab up the bracketry, and buy an AEM EMS and tune her up. Simple as that
. But seriously though, it will be the most simple setup, and probably in the end the cheapest setup that will put down some good numbers. The centri also allows for expansion, and for sure you could turn it into an all out dragster if you wanted and had the money.Edit: Now Mike Diaz, you have the cowl hood already, so for you it's practical. The roots will go nicely with your 3.5 as well.

yeah diaz you can go roots.. the rest of us cant without modifying hood which i will not do and also we of course will have traction issues so we would have to invest in LSD and axles.
Thats why i am going turbo.
I am still waiting for this article...may be a few years.

I was told the ETA on the intake manifold was before thanksgiving.
I don't know if the cowl hood is a must. I'm think the M90 will sit down far enough into the valley and not stick up farther than the stock hood would allow.
Of course, I can send my hood out to be duplicated if needed

You're probably right; with a low profile intake plenum, the Eaton will sit pretty low. Even then you risk high engine temperatures, especially if someone runs a non intercooled setup, they will definately need to get a cowl hood like yours.Mike Diaz said:I was told the ETA on the intake manifold was before thanksgiving.

Speaking of that. Apparently you wouldn't need a special hood, and you could make it RWD and TT it SERIOUSLY: Watch the video and look at the pictures. Why can't we TT a C32 in our own car? Money, money, money.Mike Diaz said:Speaking of hoods, what kind of hood do you think I'll need for a 3.2L swap in an EG Civic?

the m90 wont fit per the specs. measure the stock intake from bottom of VIS to top of manifold. Then get the specs on the M90 height. Then say okay, screw the VIS...i will mount M90 upside down.....then look at where the snout is....Unless they mount it where they run a shaft from the back side of the blower to the front of the motor(some corvette ones?) that MAY work. It can be done with a very very well designed manifold with the runners coming into the side directly perhaps...Mike Diaz said:I was told the ETA on the intake manifold was before thanksgiving.
