VorpalGinger Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I was just at the south oregon sonic meet with zacktheimpaler and skib. Now I am sold. I am already trying to source a 520 for a build. I want to put an eaton m90(because one is sitting in my shed) on an L20 in it. Does any one have info on doing this, what it takes, how must boost I'll be able to run, or maybe a link to a previous build. I'm using the phone app and can't figure out how to search.

ZackTheImpaler Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah let's make it happen capn. I smell a front yard ratsun meet to make some magic Quote Link to comment
VorpalGinger Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 So sick. We are doing this as soon as I source the stuff we need. Do you think a holley 500 would be the right amount of carb? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 guess it depends on how much boost your gonna run. thinking a 500 will be a bit big tho, a 390 will feed an N/A 2.8L Quote Link to comment
VorpalGinger Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 That is the smallest carb I have. So I guess I'll be re jetting it lol. Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 ya boom is not good especially when it is preceeded and followed by people screaming. Quote Link to comment
EricJB Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Did that blower (Eaton) come from a Pontiac Gran Prix GTP? Quote Link to comment
hollywood7600 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I some what remember someone else doing this. It was a supercharger off an xterra that was installed on a L series engine. I saw this a couple month ago, but I forgot what website I saw it on. It is possible to do your project with success. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 It might not be that big of a deal, but if you start with a 521, with a L-16 in it, the L-20 will bolt in without having to mod the engine mounts. I believe there are also more 5211 trucks, than 520 trucks. Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 An M90 is huge for 2.0L. Since you have the supercharger and carb but no engine or vehicle you may want to size them more appropriately. The M45 was standard size for 2.4 Twincam aftermarket kits from GM Performance. Quad4 guys (2.3/2.4L) consider an M62 a large upgrade. The highest output Ecotecs got the M62. It was used on the early supercharged 3800s too. The later 3800s got an M90 and so did the Thunderbird Supercoupe - also 3.8L. I think a VG30 or VG33 might be a better size engine for an M90. That engine has been dropped into most Datsuns. You might get away with an M90 on an L20 as long as you went EFI and had computer controlling spark but I think a unit that large with a 500cfm carb isn't the best combination for driveability or performance.

datzenmike Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 What about a larger pulley to reduce the rotor speed? Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Probably for the same reason you wouldn't put an 8-71 (from a 568ci Detriot Diesel) on a 289. Yeah, you can make it fit and it will probably run but it's certainly not an ideal match. Personally, I'd love to see the project started and finished. I just hope it can run as good as it could look. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I have been thinking of a simular idea but useing a vg30 and having the aircleaner sticking out the hood Quote Link to comment
