eaton on a 2v

03greygt · May 21, 2006

Has anyone seen this before? i found a guy that made a plate for an eaton to go on a 2v motor. he has the plate, the charger and a looks like a saleen intake. He said all i need to do is make like some idler pullies for the belt system. What do you guys think? What else would i need to make it work?

I think it may be cheaper and more effective if you just buy a S/C thats made for our engines?

eaton on a 2V...interesting

cheaper or not, sometimes it is just the fun of making it work. I think that is an intresting project

if its the eaton from a cobra, dont bother. too much custom fabrication to make it work. It will be a lot cheaper to just buy a blower designed for the 2V (cough*KB*cough). plus, the eaton has heating issues and isnt a very efficient blower.

First, if he already has the mounting plate done, and a saleen intake made, most of the fabrication is done. Second at the 6 to 9 psi the KB is not more effecient than the eaton, and there are no heating issues.

cobra blower on 2v

I think it would be very different. He said all I would have to do is make the belts work, he said he had everything else ready. Yes it is a cobra blower. Don't you guys think that if I got this to work, thatt I could reproduce this and maybe sell some? I think that people would be interested in it. It's different, and that makes it better I think. I am not sure on what injectors I need and how to go about tuning it. I have a diablo predator tuner. I might can call Johny Lightning and get him to send me a custom tune. Let me know what you guys think.

The saleen manifold is supposed to be junk and not flow at all. If its heavily ported (and port the blower + with some extra boost, and a bigger intercooler/icebox), then maybe it would produce some decent numbers! If you're gonna be actually doing this, go ahead and have it fully dyno tuned, no reason to guess with a mail order tune on something so custom.

I think its a good idea, I would be interested in buying one if you could make it work... and the final cost was significantly cheaper than a KB kit. I see eaton's off the 03/04 cobra for sale all the time...

If you make a kit. It will sell.

I 100% agree..

If I were one of those people who put a KB on a terminator cobra I would have my old blower just lying around.. And would probably sell it cheap to someone who wanted to buy it. Because otherwise it's just going to sit there..

Don't forget, the Eaton will not yield the same results on a 2V as it does for the 4V.

The same goes for any other mod.

I agree to some extent, but don't be mislead into thinking there is suddenly going to be an answer to the "Will a cobra blower fit on my GT" question. The adapter plate would be an option only to those running a saleen series II blower. Which in reality has always been an option since an adapter plate would be relatively easy to have made at any machine shop. m112's are pretty easy to pick up, but you'd still need to get the penum, throttle body, and intake tube. Then match up all your cables. None of these would be major items, but things to consider.

exactly...
if this guy fabs a way (lower manifold) to adapt the blower to 2V heads then he could sell a few. Those blowers are on ebay for 200-300 dollars. You never know maybe you can pop together a blower for 1000 dollars...or you could end up with a pile of doody...take a chance. Its your money

I think he is just fabing up an adatper plate to mount the blower on a saleen lower intake. It not likely that you'd be able to just buy the intake, but you can pick up the used kits for about 2k and swap out the m90 for the larger m112 with minimal fab work.
