M90

has anyone ever put an M90 on an otherwise stock 2.8? I know I would need a tune, larger injectors, an adapter plate, and new belt routing. prob also have to lose the dizzy some how. any insight, I've seen a few of them in the local pick a part yards, and thought, why the hell not at least try.

not a good idea. i turbo setup would make a butt load more power and be alot less work putting it together. how would you possibly get an m90 under the ood anyways?

Re: M90

Idk what kind of results you would get, but it could probably handle it as far as internals go. Might want to look at porting stuff too

do you have any pic's of the base? (the part with the injectors?)

Porting is being considered, not sure what even going to happen with it yet, my lil brother is buying the car from me, so this might not go any further than this.

Thanks!

Eric

Re: M90

Kind of interesting tearing apart these engines, can sort of tell that they were the first of the kind with the fuel injection, by the little things, also kind of a hassle, its like taking an old school carbed car and mixing it with new age fuel injection and electronics, and taking the worst aspects of both....like vacuum hoses and electrical wires galore....
Oh and the 3 piece intake manifold :P

well, unfortunately, after seeing those pics, I see My idea won't work, at all. maybe this would be a good excuse for a turbo?
