M90 Ported Blower

Ported M90 + Intercooler + 19PSI Pulley = 300kW
FIT have set a new standard for the Factory M90 Supercharged V6 !!

Yes, fella's, we are proud to report the results from a massive day of development testing. We have finally reached our Factory M90 Supercharged V6 S/C dream goal of 300kW Unopened! It's official, we have near on 300kW at the Flywheel from an unopened M90 Supercharged V6 with an array of FIT's finest products.

The modification list includes:

  • FIT Boost Upgrade Kit
  • FIT 1.9 High Ratio Rockers
  • FIT Type-S CAI
  • FIT Intercooler
  • Generic Bolt-on 3" Exhaust
  • Kalmaker Tuning

Newly Featured Prototype Products:
  • FIT Machined down Snout
  • FIT Ported M90 Supercharger
  • FIT 19psi Pulley

The Test Vehicle:
  • Funnily enough wasn't actually a Commodore - but a Hilux !!

The vehicle belongs to Nigel at MAT (Mandurah Automatic Transmissions), the man that built the Gearbox, Diff and LSD for the 440kW Turbo Mule. This Hilux produced 264rwhp with 17psi Boost, 1.9 Rockers, Intercooler, Tuning and Exhaust on Flamefront Port Kennedy's Dyno Dynamics Dyno in Shoot-Out Mode. This was on par with most other Supercharged V6's with this combo.
 
The Test Subject
Nigel calls on a regular basis to see what's been happening at FIT and what other goodies we have in store for him. He was one of the very first 5 candidates to receive and test out or Intercooler Prototypes and has always been at the forefront of wanting to test new and upcoming products.

Nigel has never been afraid of "pushing the envelope" ... even though he already had 264kW he keeps joking asking ... "Where's my 300kW?"

Nigel: "what have you got coming up in the Secret Development Agenda... and when can I have it?"

FIT: "well we've got this Ported Blower System, Machined Down Snout and 19psi Pulley System coming up"

Nigel: "I want it"

FIT: "it doesn't exist yet it's still being developed"

Nigel: "I want it, when can I have it?"

FIT: "you'll be the 1st to know when it's available."

Anyway, enough of the ramble... as it turns out the FIT Calais required it's long overdue Transmission Oil and Filter Service and long awaited Billet Servo Upgrade. When we called to confirm the appointment Nigel again asks: "Where's my Ported Blower, Where's my 19psi pulley, Where's my machined down snout and where the hell is my 300kW!?"

Although this had all been a long running joke by now, we actually caught Nigel off guard and said ... "we're bringing it down to try on your Hilux"

He thought we were joking at first, but then he realised we were serious and started to get excited. We never promised him 300kW, and mentioned we don't even know if we'll make 280kW, but hey we'll give it a go. Nigel wasn't at all afraid to be the first to officially test out the complete Series of Limited Edition Secret Product Developments, even though untried and untested, with the possibility of failure or destruction, he wanted it on his engine.

    
300kW - New Benchmark Achieved
Anyhow, it was Thursday morning, the Calais was booked to have the Trans service and Billet Servo fitted, and we brought down all the goodies for the product development testing. It only took 2 hours to remove the original supercharger and bolt-on the Ported M90, followed by Ported-U Neck, Machined Down Snout and 19psi Pulley. Once we were satisfied everything was running right we took it for a quick rip around the block just to see if we could notice a difference on the road.

With 4.11 Diff Gears and LSD rolling start from 70km/h in 2nd Gear he nailed it and the thing just wheel spun and skipped out the tail all the way to 120km/h. OK, we knew there was definitely some extra grunt underfoot, so it was time to head off to the dyno. We reached Port Kennedy Dyno - Flamefront in around 30mins drive. Eagerly waiting in anticipation we set the car up, strapped it all down and paced the hallway awaiting the Doctor's result.

  • 1st Run 282rwhp!
  • 2nd Run 286rwhp!

It was pinging ever so slightly and could also do with the mixtures being richer, so having the full Real-Time version of Kalmaker installed from previously, we were able to make the adjustments on the spot.

3rd Run 296.5rwhp! AWESOME !

We figured with a bit more tweaking and tuning it would break the 300rwhp barrier, but it wasn't to be, subsequent runs reeled off 288rwhp, 286rwhp and then we figured the engine was starting to get too much heat soak so we left it at that for the day. Noting this Hilux DOESN'T have EXTRACTORS and has a big power zapping Ford 9" Diff, and the run was done in high loading Shoot-Out Mode 6F in 3rd gear ... it definitely would run 300rwhp if we allowed it to cool overnight.

So it's as good as official, our Projected Power Plan Dream Horsepower Goal of 300kW UNOPENED has definitely been reached! We were intending on the FIT Calais being the first to set this new standard, but hey as always our customers come 1st!

We will definitely be installing this complete combination on the FIT Calais in around 3-4weeks time, once we've had the chance to check the ported M90 down the Motorplex without the intercooler first up. Then we will get straight into putting on the serious stuff!

  
The Realisation
We still haven't come to terms with what it is that we've just done. We always figured it would be possible to get very close to 300kW with just bolt-ons, but to get it so easily, and still have many toys left in the bag to play with, such as:
  • MAP (Mafless) Tune
  • 1 3/4" Extractors
  • other secret tweaks

We would say 320kW is a certain feasible possibility without even thinking of heads or cams yet. The main theme of FIT has always been "Simple DIY bolt-ons" so we don't think we'll ever venture into cams or heads because the average Joe can't install them on in his own driveway ... and it doesn't look like we'll ever need to now with the results just obtained ! We were saving the possibility of the 300kW Title for the FIT Calais but looks like the Hilux, just out of pure surprise gained the title!

As you could envisage we are stoked, as we are sure the rest of you, the Super6 Community are also amped about this new benchmark accolade.

The realisation of a 300kW

  • Daily Driven
  • Well behaved
  • No-Lag
  • Good Economy
  • DIY Bolt-on

Regular Streetable Factory Supercharged V6 capable of mid to low 12's is just awesome news and a great inspiration for us all.
 
So how does it feel on the road?
The on-paper Power Result of 300rwhp although very impressive for a Supercharged V6 with just an array of Bolt-on Components is nothing that would really make massive headlines in the media or give you the expectation that this would be an absolute animal to drive on the road, but let us tell you, the on-paper Power is very deceptive.

We have driven cars with much more on-paper Power that don't invoke as much of an Accelerative Thrill Ride as this combination does. Let us tell you this package is Very Impressive and Very Deceptive. Mainly attributed to the way in which the Torque is delivered in such abundance and so rapidly in the bottom end it’s just incredible how such a simple Bolt-on array of components delivers so much punch!!

The Torque is just absolutely GUT WRENCHING!! ... From 2,200rpm the full force of Torque is unleashed at an astounding rate and the tyres frantically squirm for grip. Even on light Throttle applications the accelerative pull is enough to keep you firmly pinned back in your seat.

Not since the Almighty Turbo Test Mule have we been so inspired and impressed by an engine combination package that Truly Impresses and Inspires. The Power Delivery and Absolute Masses of Torque released from this beast will have you reliving and talking of the experience for many days after...!!

This Hilux will easily reel of low 12's without even trying!!
