hey all im picking up a m112 eaton superchatger today with everything except the lower intake for the 3.0. its comming with throttle body pullies maf some bigger injectors except the thing is it came off a nissan vg33 im picking up the whole kit for 100$ off a friend he says all ill need is to get an adapter made to fit my 3.0.. question i have for all you guys is has anyone done this before that could give me some tips on problems that may come up? its not a oem supercharger from anything its a universal super charger (his words)
Morana Racing has adapters for M112 on 3.0l Vulcan: Tom Morana Racing Engines
Not cheap, so try used, ebay maybe
You control boost with pulley size on supercharger, and you will want to keep it low, so lower end doesn't blow out, have a read here: https://planetsoarer.com/boost/boost.htm
Supercharger RPM also has to do with crank pulley size as well as supercharger pulley size
Eaton M112 has oil inside it, so doesn't need engine oil circulation like a turbo charger does, but the oil in it may need to be changed, GM brand is usually less expensive and same formula as more expensive brands, About $25 for 20oz which is what you need if memory serves

Thanks for the info I'm assuming getting one made at a machine shop will probably run me more then the kit at Tom morana I didn't think it would be so expensive... 790 for a few pieces of aluminum is insane. But if that's the route I have to go I guess it will be done. So besides the intake adapter and belt I'm pretty much set?
Ok so after getting it home I realised it's an m90 off a nissan xterra fml.. Seems like I could easily make a simple plate to bolt it down to my current lower intake manifold but then what do I do about the throttle body. it came with the throttle body, maff injectors, and adapter for the vg33 which lines up pretty well with the vulcan lower intake passages. But the throttle body has a tps and IAC and a bunch of sensors on it of which the holes don't line up for out vulcans sensors.. I'm pretty much at a loss with this setup if it was just a matter of an adapter it would be done already but the sensors is what's got me. Stuck right now. I may just sell it and buy a turbo kit and stick with what I know.. Sucks because I really wanted to supercharge something for once instead of always turbo
Besides the giant web of coolant and vac hoses there's those sensors I put in the pictures. Then there is the sensors on the vulcan intake that I'm not sure how I would transfer to this haha. This is completely new territory to me. I'm sure while building it up I'd figure much of this out but I need some reassurance it's doable I guess
So after deleting the coolant hoses that go through the throttle body it's less of a mess here's the two sensors aac and idk what the other is and tps the tps is different so I guess I'm going to have to wire my harness to the vg33 harness (correct me if I'm wrong the aac harness which will need the same thing done to it then this hex shaped senser that I have no clue what it is
