It's a 4th generation MP90 supercharger from Magnuson I believe. I'm actually trying to fit a Scalbert intercooler kit into the intake manifold right now. Then I'll be installing the MP90 kit, assuming it clears the lowered Comptech battery spot. If not, I'll run the regular Comptech MP62 until I decide between moving the battery to the trunk or trying to lower the battery further.

Thanks for the update.
Wow, are there still Scalbert intercoolers floating around or was that a past acquisition?
Interested in seeing how this works out.
If possible, should you have any pictures on your progress or one of the CT shaft and the M90 already coupled together, that would be cool to see.

The intercooler wasn't too hard to install, but it wasn't the smoothest. The clearance is tight between the bigger P2R fuel rails, which I can't blame the intercooler for. However, the rear wire harness holder gets in the way too, which I had to trim down. The clearance between the intercooler and the OEM strut bar seems like less than 1mm, but it clears. Unfortunately, my Comptech strut bar definitely will never clear.

I still need to get a welder to make a pipe connecting the supercharger to the intercooler inlet. The flexible intake pipe I'm using busts off at slightest whiff of boost, so I'm leaving the supercharger belt off for now. Once I get everything hooked up and confirm no vauum/boost leaks, I'll throw on the M90. The 4th gen MP90 has the same bolt pattern on the shaft side, so it bolts the same as the MP62. However, the intake and outlet are bigger. The inlet uses a simple sandwhich adapter that converts the bolt patterns. The outlet collecting manifold under the supercharger was modified to fit the larger MP90.

Nice work and thanks for the pictures.

1) This is the first time I've really had a good look at the Scalbert intercooler in a long time. Would be interested in your impressions as to its build quality and your expectations.

2) It appears you had to acquire a second CT M62 to have the extra inlet and outlets to work with as you progressed with fitment on the M90?
That sandwich adapter looks interesting as well. Was it just an exercise of first templating the M90 bolt pattern to the plate, then template the inlet bolt pattern to the plate which, in turn, would give you an idea of how large you could go for the inlet opening size?

Hey man! Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but I want to try going 3.6 myself, and I'm not sure which pistons to use. One of the earlier posts said that you can use J32A2 pistons (which is what I'm currently running in my 3.5 stroker engine, well, what I was running - the engine spun a bearing recently, and the crank is totaled, unfortunately) - I'm guessing they should clear J32A2 valves with no issues?
Ideally I'd run J32A2 heads, valves, cams, pistons, and the J37 crank and rods. Does that sound like it will work alright?

That would work. Your compression would be too high for any boost over 5psi though.

Thanks. I'm not looking to go forced induction. Problem is in its current form my engine would knock on anything below 100 octane. Hopefully it's not going to get worse on a 3.6.
