    Pinto supercharger setup

    I have a fresh Eaton m45 that's set up to mount on a Pinto block. Sandwiches between block and alternator mount. Laser cut brackets and tig welded flange with 2.5" in and out. It has a YB tensioner pulley that deflects the belt down below the thermostat to the water pump. I have a serpentine crank pulley from a YB and a serpentine alternator pulley... all you need is a serpentine YB water pump pulley and it should all line up. I have 4 different length belts too that should give enough options. This was mounted to a YB using the turbo support tabs. but should be fine on a Pinto too. Probably need a brace fabbed and mounted to exhaust stud or somewhere... Was mounted in a capri and the bonnet shut.. cannot comment on any other Pinto engined cars. .. . . ..

    This give 5psi on the YB so I would guess 7 maybe 9psi on a Pinto.
    Looking for £350 ono for the lot. Get some instant boost and some whine!

    What is the net Power increase expectation for such a setup on a Pinto? And why is the boost with a pinto more as with an yb?
