When converting your 03 to an 01 for turbo...

[boosted2000si]

First let me say sorry for posting all these questions, but I am trying to get a solid understanding of all this.


Im looking over this thread right here
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/new-edge-cobras-51/526574-03-04-eaton-blower-99-01-a.html

Is it necessary to swap all the things listed on that page?

The power steering lines, throttle cables, oil cooler?

As for the alternator, are they both the same amount of wires? Just cut and reattach the new pigtail?

Thanks for all the help guys!

Speaking from a custom kit, all I swaped was the upper/lower intake, alternator, t b cable, coolant cross over.

Hellion has the list of 01 parts you will need for the swap. The alternator harness from the 01 has two wires ours has three. One gets left out but can't remember which one. I can look when I get home.

I kept my oil cooler, timing cover and the power steering lines just massaged them (but have not seen many mount a 76 in the bumper).

It definately takes more parts to go eaton then for us to just go turbo.

I guess that is primarily determined by which kit you're going with.

I had to switch A LOT of Terminator parts for the HPP kit.

'01 Cobra Intake Manifold, '01 Cobra Coolant Crossover Tube, '01 Cobra Accelerator & Cruise Cable, '01 Cobra Accelerator Bracket, '01 Cobra Throttle Body, '01 Cobra Alternator Bracket & Alternator, '01 Cobra Timing Chain Cover & Pulley's, '01 Cobra Harmonic Balancer, '01 Cobra A/C Unit

And this doesn't take into consideration that custom brackets and lines that the HPP kit comes with.

Damn you had to change the AC? I am going with a custom kit, but if I had a donor 01 cobra that wanted to go eaton what all is needed for the complete swap over? So far I am seeing

Balancer
Timing cover with all pulleys and belt
Alternator and pigtail
Upper and lower intake manifold
Throttle body
complete intakes
throttle cables


Is it mandatory to swap oil coolers and power steering lines for the eaton to work on an 01?

Yes because the alternator will be on the way...

You shouldn't have to replace your balancer and timing cover. Since it is a custom kit work you way around what you got.

 

[boosted2000si]

What kit are you going with?

Its a custom GT42 kit I found a member on here that is fairly local that is selling.

Would the person doing the eaton swap require those parts though?

 

[boosted2000si]

Also why is the third alternator wire not connected to anything? What does that wire do for the 03 04 cars?

Yeah but that is not your problem it is not absolutely requried unless you want to take it off and swap the part with someone. The middle wire is a second source of power/ground can't remember which but it does not need to be connected. I don't have mine connected.
