My old man had a supercharged 4.6 running MOTEC years ago. It had the Eaton similar to the one from the Holden V6. It was set up for about 8 PSI from memory. It was found that this supercharger was realy too small for the 4.6. Although the thing put out 188KW at all 4 thie intake temps would rise too quickly and cause problems. It was determined that they should have used Eaton's bigger charger as even an intercooler may not have solved the problem. Also the auto had to be strengthend to handle the power. I would advise to do a lot of research before doing this mod as there can be quite a few problems. I believe my old man ended up spending in the region of $30K on the motor alone, it was awsome though, but eventually it got rebuilt NA and sold.

Whats included in 'setup'? Does it have pipes/intercooler/modifed plenum etc, and if so are they all designed to fit an HSE, or what?

I remembered reading about this years ago these guys know their stuff and they also have an ebay store I really wish I had $20,000 to spend these engines are horn.

make sure you read about the warnings of supercharging on this link. I have a side mount blower and will be mounting my soon and expect the engine to last atleast 1week :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Bought off a friends old man a few years ago who took it out of his P38 when he sold it.. only done 30,000k's

Has everything including 2 belts, extra injector on the unit + a separate computer for the injector (I would use a halteck to run everything)

In perfect order.. was going to put on my 3.9 but too much hastle with the different pully on the M90.
