I believe that my MP90 is gen 4.
What the "P" all about? Some are M90 and others are MP90.
Greg, are the differences between gens 4 and 5 very significant?
Charlie, thanks for the link!

Are you claiming that YOU or your COMPANY are responsible for the cars on this site??Or is this stuff from Australia?
Either way,yes,these are very impressive.

NOTE: Online only untill the end of march.

Most of the Supra was done in house, as well as some of the fords. other cars are from a range of performance shops in the area.

We are starting to get way off topic here. Although, I am pretty darn sure I will win a my neighbor's Supra is faster than your neighbor's Supra argument. This guy up the road has something like 1200 rwhp and drives it work every day. It was at one time the world's fastest Supra and will be again soon.

Charlie, thanks for the link! I always love looking at your site.

Zambon, lets look at it like this. Basically a M62 is a 62 cubic inch Eaton Roots style blower used in a factory application, like a Buick, Cobalt, etc. WITHIN the 4 or 5 generations there are many different M62s because the automakers used different cases and nose drives in different applications. Some have throttles built in, some don't etc. The only thing all M62s definatly have in common are the rotors. Same with M90s. Look at a M62 off of a Mercedes and one off a Pontiac and they look totally different on the outside.

Now a MP62, or a MP90, is the exact same Eaton Roots rotor group and mechanical parts in a Magnuson case. These are used in aftermarket applications. They generally have a slightly smaller case and some other variations that make them a little easier to use in custom applications. From a functional standpoint they are exactly the same.

Clear as mud?

Hi Barry,
The big Jag uses a Eaton M112 with about 8 pounds of boost. The Jag's M112 is a very unique unit with a totally different case then any of the others and a really long nose drive. You won't fit that into an Alfa without a lot of machine shop work.

Hmmm... *how* long is the Jag blower? how is it different to say the MP112 off of a SVT Lightning?

Got any pics of it Barry?

Ben, the SVT lightling has a M112. That, or a unit off a similar truck (Harley edition and a couple others) or a 2003/2004 Mustang Cobra are the ones to get. The case on the Jag blower is considerably bigger and more complex. Check ebay and you will almost always find near new Eaton M112 off Mustangs or Lightnings for $500. People pull them off to put on Lysholms.

The ATI Procharger is the king of Centrifugal blowers and a great unit if you are building a 1500 horsepower V8 drag car. For a fast street car you are much better off with an Eaton or Lysholm.

I had a M112 from a lightning or Harley at one point, sold it because the inlet was in a annoying spot for me, and the snout wasn't really long enough, which is why I'm curious about the Jag unit. (in hindsight I would have been able to use a SVT Cobra M112)
The Procharger was the D1, only good for 925hp...
