UGGGGGGG! For the last time for everyone that ever wants to ask this stupid question again. You can NOT simply bolt an eaton to a 99/01 cobra. There are thousands of dollars of small parts that are needed for the conversion. Just because it looks the same it isnt. The 03/04 cobra engine is quite different than the 99/01. That is the reason the KB kit cost so much. If you want to know more SEARCH!!!!!!

You really don't need to be a jerk when someone asks a legit question. This is the deal, I'm doing a turbo conversion on my 03 cobra and I'm looking to sell ALL of the pieces that come off in the process in one packaged deal. I was told the swap would work, if not post up and tell me why.

See this link? The one that is stickied at the top of the forum? That allows him to be annoyed.

Hay man sorry if it came off as an attitude. That isn't what I or this forum is about. It wasn't attitude just frustration because this question has been asked over and over again. There is a parts list that will tell you everything needed for the swap (yes it has been done by some forum members) and it ends up costing about as much or more (depending on install price) than the Kenne Bell kit. And after all that you still have a much more inefficient blower. Therefore less power with potentially more money spent. If you want instant power and you are willing to spend the money there are 4 ways to get it. twin turbo kit, Kenne Bell kit, low compression centrifugal build up, or high compression big bore naturally aspirated build up. An Eaton swap is just not practical considering there are far better options. If you dont beleave me ask the people that have done it.

And as a note. If you are asking a question that has probably been asked before please do a search first. If you tried and had trouble or weren't able to find the information needed please include that in the post to avoid problems. Admittedly there are a few topics that piss me off the most because they are asked at nausium and they have been answered so many times they are now covered in the forum sticky posts.

I posted on this thread a while back and I think it helps to answer a lot of swap questions: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256321&page=3&pp=25. My impressions were, don't do it unless you have an '03 sitting next to your car that you can sit and "part out." An '03 that had been smashed in the rear end and "totaled," that you picked up for almost nothing (e.g. $1000.00), would be a perfect candidate. It might be a better candidate for other things, but you get the point.

Just be sure to take what Snake Eyes said into account about power, performance, alternatives, etc. Personally, if I ever did a supercharger, it'd be the KB or nothing. I'd probably buy directly from them as well. I'd hate to have missed something in the "fine print" of another reseller and get shortchanged somehow (i.e. product updates, recall, etc.). What's another $200 when you're already talking $6K anyway????
