Supercharged inline six

I want to mount an Eaton M90 supercharger (carbureted on M90 intake) on my 235 Chevy six and have two questions: Is the cold start mode a problem with the delay of fuel/air mixture to the cylinders? Is the bypass valve really necessary with the throttle control on the intake side of the supercharger.
Thanks, Jerry

 

1. Post an introduction. It's the polite thing to do.
2. Use the search function.
3. Ask your question.

 

Uh huh.

 

Pick up the Inline Six Power Manual by Leo Santucci. Lots of good info there.

 

Posted introduction and now working with the search mode.
Thanks, Jerry

 

Mine is not a 235 but I have no problem with cold starts with a "wet" m62. I would also say yes to the by-pass just so you take it easy on the engine untill you want the power, then it is right there when you step on the GO button.

 

Hey, neat looking set-up, care to say any more?

 

Is that an SU carb?

 

A TR250 maybe? I saw a setup like that at the Vancouver All British Field Meet a few weeks ago. It looks great and seems very simple.

 

hmmm id like a tech article on that eaton installation id like to try that on a buick straight 8

 

Wow, nice job. Who made the manifold?

 

Sweet job on that

 

here's a different approach

 

Good geuss, TR6 though. Here's a video of the install, and yes it is an SU carb. (2")

Loving that (6-71?) on that third to last one...sweet setup with the dual carbs aswell so all the better

 

Thats Sweet!

 

Maz, you've got everything there is on film. that old blown Chevy has been around Pasadena with that blower since the fifties. it used to swap back and forth with a five carb set up

 

Now that's a blower for ya. luven It.

 

Any more info on that setup with the blower at a 45 degree angle?

 

And yet another Eaton...this time an M45

 

Very Nice!

 

Gary Hart built an M-90 blown buick straight eight and set a record at either Bonneville or Maxton with it.

 

Probably would not be room for that in my 65 Chevy II
