Cheap supercharger kit
You're not going to fit two M90s under the hood of a 4th gen without major surgery. I can tell you right now that it isn't worth the amount of work with so many other options out there.
I've seen that done before so I know that's plausible. I've held an M90 from a thunderbird and one from a grand prix. I seriously doubt you could fit one between the frame rails and oil pan where the AC compressor is. Even if you did you'd have an even harder time fitting a discharge and intake on it.
I've seen that done before so I know that's plausible.
Because I built the 3rd gen one and people said it was impossible when I was building it. My point isnt that something will or will not fit. The point is that you cant know until someone tries it. So far no one has attempted a M90 on a 4th gen LS1, let alone two. The closest was a successful M112 on a LT1 with a custom intake manifold and the blower in the standard roots position
"You're not going to fit two M90s under the hood of a 4th gen without major surgery."
I didn't say it was impossible. Anything is possible with enough money and time. Would it be worth the amount of work? I say not with so many other options out there. The only way I could possibly see mounting two of them in there is either on the top like the dragon kits or removing ac, relocating the alternator, and mounting them down low. Either way it would be an absolute **** ton of work.

10 LS Engine Myths That Refuse to Die
Verdad Gallardo Had to go get the car on sat
The BOV simply cant vent enough air at idle to even begin a base tune, so Im re-doing a few things. Damned thing was building like 10psi
FMIC kit is ordered, small cam, hopefully mod some headers before I take the car back. MAF is moving to before the blower, so the PCV system needs to change, BOV to bypass valve, MAF sensor connector split from incorporating the IAT to a separate one near the TB
Unfortunately, every change has a snowball effect. With the FMIC ducting, the batt has to move. Since the batt moved, the 4th gen overflow tank has to move, then the battery tray hole will just look awful so itll have to be welded back up, then new tanks fabbed and relocated, then new cables made

Parts finally start showing up
Shiny
Anyone need a set of 3" mandrel bent alum tubing?
Tight fit
Really fills up the opening
Trimmed verticle support. Strait shot. Bypass valve will be mounted here and recirculated to the SC inlet
Just needs a 90*. No, the BOV will not be mounted there. Tubing after the reducer is for the IAT to be as close to the TB as possible
Need to get the steel tubing, cam and bypass valve, then it goes back to the tuner. Come on UPS man dont let me down! Gotta make it to autofair

but on 3rd gen gta birds. the front cover does not a grille area like the camaros. the front cover is sealed. besides the foglights.
i have gta trans am that im working on. and i would not put a fmic in front radiator on my car. i am going with smaller fender area mounted ic's.
This reminds me of the Kenne Belle I had on my 5.9R/T Dakota.
Two thumbs up!
Awesome build.
So whats your total estimated cost of the build including supercharger, belt, materials, etc.

OH AND HEY POCKET
DONT LET PEOPLE HATE ON YOU OR GET YOU DOWN WITH THEIR "YOU CANT DO IT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE ***** TO TRY" ATTITUDE!!!
I had a 5.9 R/T Dakota with a Kenne Belle twin screw and a 125 shot on a stock long block that ran 12.88@108.
The "Professionals and Experts" couldnt explain it!
You can do it, and more importantly you're gonna do it regardless of what they say.
A-D-M-I-R-A-B-L-E is what we call that.
Good job. Keep a fabbin'!

Nearly done. Bet Id have been done 2 weeks ago if I wasnt sitting on my duff waiting for parts to arrive for so long
FMIC has tons of room and is just as well suited for the location as the radiator was

Nice work. Can't wait to hear some feedback and see some in-car videos.
Have you ever thought about making a custom air cleaner box that would use the air from the cowl hood? Sort of like a stock car air cleaner. I'd love to make something like that that would use a stock size flat air filter. Probably not too difficult to make. If I ever do something like that then I'd have to see how well my mig welder could handle aluminum for a custom air box.
Thanks for the pictures!
