All the manifolds at ebay.com has gone,sold pretty fast :eek:


Now i'm more confident about the MP-90.

Still working on this folks, currently addressing clearances around the SC itself and it's actual position on the manifold

Consider, for us to source a SC from California, ship it to us in AU, send it back to you in NY with the kit, adding shipping both ways, import duties and taxes that will be levied in BOTH countries would easily double the cost.

We plan to supply every specialised part (snout support, idler pulley, crank pulley etc) you need in a kit from here, and a comprehensive list of the SIMPLE hardware (fasteners & hose clamps etc) required, as well as the EXACT spec of the SC which you can then get from Magnusson at their '48 states' pricing
So you order a kit from us, and the SC from Cali, and the fasteners from a local supplier - 3 phone calls instead of one, and you save hundreds if not thousands of $:bgwp:
I understand this would not appeal to everyone, and a full turn-key kit may follow later, but I know after the Aus and US govts have finished with us the kit will be expensive - even leaving it a no margin sideline - in the order of $6K or more.:(
Dunno about you, but if I wanted to spend THAT kind of $ I would go buy the (compromised) off-the shelf kit from CAPA here - $8000 thank you!

Sounds like you're getting directed to the wrong department!
The GM SC is a M90, but will NOT fit our manifold. GM made a few mods
Download the Magnusson catalog
http://www.magnusonproducts.com/pdf/catalog.pdf

Page 40 in the catalog is the unit that will fit

Rob

Sorry rob i have not access to a PC right now;I'm using my blackberry but the cataloge pdf document is to large

Which is magnusson M90 stock number ?

Rob that is not an M90,it's an MP1900 built for the pontiac G8.

That's a huge S/C though,the intake is located opposite to the original VX air intake line which is a disadvantaged positition for air flow,the piping would be longer with this setup
Do you have a plan B to go with another one in mind to replaced.
I just got off with the magnusson,they told me they are up to built an MP90 for our engine,cost could around the $ 1000
But they need our engine's manifold measurements to add the right nose/snout along with the pulley which will settle for the 5 psi.
Does any one have that measurements ?

Gus you're looking at the wrong page - you been talking to Petr? :bwgr:

It's on page 40 in the catalog, which is page 42 in the pdf

Regarding the rest, we will provide all the details you will need to go & buy the correct SC & pulley. DON'T buy an SC yet!
Rob
