- Just because it hasn't been made doesn't mean you cant build it
Hey this is my first time posting here as I have never really felt the need to post until now. I’m not going to give a biography but I am a student at my local university in south florida working towards becoming a mechanical engineer in the automotive industry. I don’t have a whole lot of free time between school and work, but have managed to just finish up building an Eaton m90 supercharger intake on MasterCam. I haven’t used mastercam since high school but this is what I really want to get into as a career. I guess it’s safe to say this is one of my hobbies.
Regardless I am really here not only to demonstrate that the Vulcan engine can not only be supercharged, but for cheap! As of now your only option as a 3.0 owner is Tom Morana racing for an m90 adapter. Which is well close to 1,000$ and more since youll need custom fuel rails and an older generation eaton m90 supercharger. Not to mention when talking to Mr Morana, his measurements and clearances were not on par with the engine bay on my truck and would require extensive cutting to get to work. Once I get this milled out this summer and tested, I will, if the demand is present, sell or simply give away the master cam files so you can send off it off to your machinist. My machinist quoted me 500$ to get this milled out but I have yet to confirm that. With my design and if all my measurements are correct you should be able to use this intake with an Eaton m90
Supercharger generation V (with bypass valve), Taurus 3.0 fuel rails, and the intake itself. The supercharger and fuel rails can be found off ebay for as little as 300$ or less for both. With the intake combined youre looking at supercharging your ranger for less than a 1,000$ easy. However, I am still in the process of confirming all this. Now granted you will need to upgrade your fuel injectors, fuel pump, and ignition system. But with low boost you might get away without it.
Here’s a picture of the whole assembly, let me know what you guys think. Id love to hear your input and any advice you might have.
