'03 Blower on a '97 Cobra

[WhippleCharged Sonic]

My brother-in-law wants to buy my stock Eaton blower when I take it off next month for my Whipple. Couple of questions. Would it be worth putting it on his '97? Could the stock motor even handle the stock 8lbs of boost? Does anyone have a complete part list on what would be needed to swap the Eaton to his '97? Any input would be appreciated.

no factual evidenence, but i'd guess it's going to cost him around $10,000.....but i bet the block could handle 8 psi...

haha...I told him he would be better off buying a Vortech or whatever. Oh well, no harm in asking. Lets see what anyone else says...

8 psi is nothing for that block. Why supercharge when you can go twin turbo and be better in every category.. wont even cost u a full 8K with installation and dyno tune. www.turbochargedpower.com

It is not my car. I am sure he doesn't have that kind of money for turbos. I was basically inquiring to back what I told him which it would not be worth buying my Eaton for it...too much work to get it to work.

 

[Blue03Snake]

yeah, i would suggest waiting around just to make sure....but i think i remember someone doing the swap onto a 99-01 cobra and it was around 10,000....maybe he's on here somewhere?

 

[SvtKobra96]

10k is way tooo much.. look at that list i posted up before.. its pretty accurate and if you know the differences between turbos and blowers, you know the turbo is better in alot of ways from adjustability to power to price.

It's been tried many times, few have succeeded... not worth the pain in the ass, not to mention, there are more power routes to boost for far less money.

i have put the eaton on my 99 and it wasnt all that hard just trying to find the parts if you go with all used parts it should be cheap to do i have $1,975 in my whole system snowmancobra has also did this so his 99. im sure it wouldnt be much different from the 97 to the 99s

You found all the parts for the swap for 1900? I have been wanting to do the Eaton swap for awhile....I know you can find used mint Eatons for 500-600 bucks pretty easily....The Eaton swap sounds like a cheap way to jump to 450hp. epper:

your friend would need 99+ heads for one.....cheaper to just go aftermarket power adder....

[svtcobra2k1]

wow man u got some deal!!! How much boost are you running and if you put on a smaller pully would that be safe for my 01 engine. Also waht kind of numbers are you putting out!!?

 

[WhippleCharged Sonic]

Well, who knows what he is going to do...I know its definitely not going to be putting an Eaton on so, if anyone is interested I will have my Eaton up for sale in the next month or two along with TB and plenum and stock '03 injectors.

 

[lthlsnake]

i have the stock pulleys and i can run about 12lbs. Im sure u can do more but i dont know have to ask someone that knows these 4v.

 

[svtcobra2k1]

what kind of numbers are you putting out???
