I have a 3.8L 95 T-bird supercharger that i want to install but...:disgust:the bolt pattern is different from the supercharger to the top block. I need a spacer that has both patterns. Supercharger & top block. I believe its called the upper intake plenum. Do they make that or do i have to go back to shop class and make it myself!? I dont have enough $ to buy a new kit($3,200) but i got all the parts for that and ive heard its a pretty popular route. My brother in-law is going to make his turbo and he would like some tips as well. BTW I own a 04 3.8L and he owns a 02 3.8L. My e-mail is MistaG84@yahoo.com Thanks for whatever info. i get :good::)

i need a spacer with bolt 2 patterns. one for the supercharger and the other one to replace the upper intake plenum. i reread it and i mixed it up. i dont need the upper intake plenum i need to replace it once i mount the supercharger. i believe it is an m90 supercharger but ill get back to u on that. on thursday i will take pictures of the setup i have. supercharger, intercooler, hoses ect. i have all the parts for the supercharger except for that replacement mount that i need and the hood. im thinking 00 cobra r hood that has that big space for it. if not ill have somebody build me one out of fiberglass here in o-town. thanks for your interest in helping me get my car done!!:good:
i am a new member and have no friends yet. my bro is making his 02 v6 turbo and he sold me all the parts for the supercharger so i dont wanna be left behind!!:)

ok runv. the supercharger was given to me by my bro w/all parts. its for a 3.8 t-bird. the m112 is 4 a v8. how can i make that adapt to it? chances r i would still need the same spacer w/2 bolt patterns(engine-supercharger) and the main question is will i need a different intercooler, piping, hoses, computer, ect.? i already have all of that ?is will i be able to use any of that. i have no problem selling/buying supercharger(m90/m112) i just want a layout of all the parts i need to make this possible for a 3.8Lv6. i dont intend on installing any time soon. i am going to do everything at once, in following order, suspension, tires, rear axle stuff-lsd ect., engine, and body last. i want a complete car w/300hp/300trq est. v6. that is my goal. im far from it but i just dont know much bout car or people. thanks for ur info. and interest on my project.

Spec N Run. You guys know ur ish!! Centrifical is same concept as turbo/supercharger? I dont know much bout blowers, know bout turbos but i don't want to go through that hell. This is way more different than my 3000GT!! So i wanted to go w/the supercharger route since its more in the family. Can you guys enlighten me on blowers. And what r u guys working with or plan on working on this type of car?

Thanks guys!! U guys r da ish!!:good: I gonna put pics of all the stuff i have 2nite. I know the turbo route is a mess but very rewarding. I'm gonna try n go m112. I do wanna keep it supercharger since bro wants turbo. I gotta upgrade the intercooler so ill try to get a racing or something along those lines for the high amount of heat. I just wanna have all the parts before i even take out 1 bolt. The supercharger is the biggest gain in power that ill have so ill get that first. Then all engine stuff, suspension stuff n body last. This is my daily driver right now so im not doing anything to it for the time being.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try to get an m112 but i would still need the upper intake. If i can buy that already machined then i have everything else for it! Again Thanks for ur interest in my project!
