So I figured I would go ahead and post this to see what others think. I have been absent on the forum for awhile due to finishing school and focusing on finding a job. Thankfully all of that is behind me and I can now get back into crazy ideas and designs for the S550! My original plan was to do a coyote swap but I believe I have something more interesting!
The idea of an Eaton supercharger I have had for a long time as a way to fix our engines low end power issue. I have always wondered though why a kit does not exist. From what I can tell, hood clearance is the number one issue that is referenced. Just doing some quick measurements, I believe an Eaton M90 with a small intercooler can fit between the lower intake manifold and a slightly higher hood or an OEM hood with a clearance hole and a scoop to cover it. I need about an extra 2-3in which if the internal bracing were removed above the engine you could get quite close to clearing.
Around this week or next I plan to purchase the trufiber A72 hood which should provide the needed clearance. After that I hope to purchase a GM style Gen V Eaton M90 and then create the required adapter plate and intercooler mounting to interface with the lower intake manifold. I plan to run about 7-8psi boost which the M90 should be capable of providing the 3.7L.
Belt routing is going to be a challenge though and the best I can figure right now is adding an additional pulley to the crank and have a separate 6-8 rib belt for the supercharger.
So what do you guys think? Feasible or am I completely crazy? Would anyone be interested in something like this over say a procharger?
