Has anyone here, or anyone here know of, someone thats gutted the eaton and used it as an intake manifold? i assume it could work in theory but, what were its downfalls if it had any? and how hard is it to gut the eaton?
who has gutted the eaton and used it as an intake manifold?

I'm sure you can but why would you? Going the centrifugal route?
saw the same thing but with a super coupe...... dont know how good it worked, but you knew it was a turbo car!

it was LIKE a sts kit (http://www.ststurbo.com/)...... looked like he had a bad ass cold air intake

some of the twin turbo kits mount in the bumper, and the I/C mounts were the heat exhanger would go. paint the intercooler black, and to the unknowing eye, it looks like you just have an upgraded H/E.

Yeah a friend did it with a L, it doesn't flow to great, but it can be done.
the car I saw had the turbo located behind the passenger side scoop. It was insanely stealth! you could not tell what he was running with the hood up. he even left the stock pulley cover on. I saw a link to it on this board a couple months ago.

Okay, After recieving your PM, here is all I have, The guys name was Chris Byford aka Derek Byford aka Crash, he owned Trixters Racing and ran the Got-Pressure forums, but he got stupid and ran from the cops in his D1SC 05 GT and is in jail now, and since the company went bankrupt, His forums are gone and so is his site, www.trixtersracing.com and www.got-pressure.com, on the other hand, he was turboing a red L, it was for I believe Powersurge Performance, he gutted the stock heaton and used it as a intake, question is IDK where the pictures are since his forums are gone, I'll do a search and post up for you.Venomhiss said:
Update: I got a link to PSP http://www.powersurgeperformance.net/ and I'm about 95% sure this is the truck he did it to, the red one in the picture http://www.powersurgeperformance.net/about.html
Here is another topic on the gutted eaton 03 cobra http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36249&highlight=gutted+eaton
oh yeah, he made the snout an idler and ran the stock pulley as an idler pulley, that was a slick set-up, IMO retarded and wasteful, but none the less very slick.phillySVT said:

I also just got that from http://www.rage3d.com/board/archive/index.php?t-33866952.html

BTW this is kind of my take on your idea but JMO
I think the best way to do it would be to do a HP kit and just fix all the welds and then run with a gutted eaton blower, but that will cause ALOT of issues, mainly because the HP kit is a pos, IMO I'd go twin 61s from THP and forget about being stealthy

DO NOT go to www.turbochargedpower.com, thats the HP kit and has MANY issues and flaws in it, just ask CHINI about the qaulity of the HP kit. Go hellion or THPVenomhiss said:
I like the idea of it lookins stock and being insanely fast... does anyone make a rear mount turbo kit like the SVS kit for the C6? That thing looked stock under the hood minus the up pipe from the IC and it made GREAT power with a lot of efficiency... having a good rear mount turbo kit under the car, no one would ever know...:idea:

My HP kit has zero issues. There are many of us that don't have issues with our HP kits.
