A magazine here in the UK (Practical Performance Car) is featuring the build of a 1UZ-engined Nissan 200SX, and they are planning to do something I've been wondering about for a while. That is, use the "upside-down" Eaton M90 from a Ford Thunderbird V6 (or Buick?), which makes it easy to fit a front-mounted intercooler. (

Has anybody looked into doing the same with a Soarer? Would there be any way to mount the blower without needing a ludicrous bonnet bulge (bearing in mind that we in the UK have very few restrictions on mods)?
