Looking at supercharging my 1uz, what does everyone think about the M90 supercharges? Perhaps a bit on the small side? im not looking for anything too big, as i may twincharge.... Can get one for $800

my mate has an m90 on his 1uz, alot of fun in a light weight car.
Its abit on the small side, but hes still making 250rwkws at about 5 or 6psi.

Id look at going larger if you can, but if not im sure you will be happy with the m90 to start with.

i have an M90 for my 1uz, i paid $450, and it was in good nic,

i did however buy a rebuild kit, bearings seals and oil from the states and that cost me $80nzd landed

i always thought it was going to be on the small side, but after watching video of jonos 4x4 1uz with m90 decided it would be sweet

theres a few guys on lextreme running m90's with good results,

the next option would be a m112 the cheapest ive seen was around the $1800 mark

Sounds like it could be an ok buy then, Ill try and talk him down a bit.
But that supercharger with a nice big turbo becide it should do the trick.
