Harrop - Eaton TVS style supercharger for small block Ford

nicholase · Jan 2, 2025

Huh, just stumbled across this. Looks interesting. A modern Eaton intercooled TVS style positive displacement supercharger kit for small block Ford. It's even 50 state legal.

After reading the tech download from their website, it's not the typical plug and play set up most of us think of when we hear "kit". Swapping to a coil on plug / crank trigger setup is needed, and accessory drive mods. So cost it's likely going to price most out. But I like it none the less!

I was reading the company bio. It looks like Harrop is an Australian company that provided Ford Australia and Loutus with custom manifolds to adapt superchargers for production vehicles. So I'm guessing they know what they're doing.

I wonder what they're using for a distributor?

I see they got something chunked down in that hole.

Crank trigger and coil-on-plug
No distributor needed.

I'm most interested in the manifold(s) they designed for this thing:

An intake seat for a water brick is a piece that Windsor PD kits all (except for this one) lack.

I remember when modifying a fox was cheap and affordable.

TBH, the amount of money one could potentially put into these cars makes me wonder if it were better spent elsewhere.

The intercooler is trick for a Windsor.

One of these

Allows the cam to still drive the oil pump, and when used with the crank trigger, allows for coil near plug ignition

I did a custom air/water I/C on my SBF for my Kenne Bell 2.8L back in 2013.
Was not cheap. But it works great. Even 11 years later.

I remember something about that. There's another dude on here that did a custom system too.

It's not just "not cheap" it also appeared to be a big ole pain in the ass.

Bullitt347 · Jan 2, 2025

Not included in that kit is the Engine Management system for the CNP, the cam sync, the Ignition system for CNP, the plumbing/tank/pump for the I/C and quite a few other misc items.
Figure $17-20K to pull it off.
Not counting labor, assuming you don't install yourself.

Yes, but 1,250+ HP is worth the PITA. Lol

I was on the other end of the spectrum. I wanted (and still want) on-demand, big-block performance without a fuss meaning: No special fuels, juices, etc...

I would [love] to take the intake above and adapt it to a 2.8L KB.

The down-side... The torque on the street. LAWL

How hard is it to mini-tub with an MM 3-Link?

I fit a 275/60/15 M/T Drag Radial in the stock wheel wells of my 89' Saleen.
Roll the fender lip, some light massaging of the inner fender in 2 spots with a 5lb hammer.
Getting the right offset wheel is really important, (I have 10" wide double beadlock rims) and the quad shocks must be deleted.
Otherwise, I don't see a problem with a mini tub and a MM torque arm set up.
Even with all of that, on the street? Boost control, timing control, traction control of some kind would be needed. Especially on the hit from a dig.
A 2.8 KB can easily get 20 psi. or more depending on displacement and combo.

Threaten [me] with a good time!

MM torque arm and panhard bar with SN95 axles under my Coupe and have 275/40R17 Nitto drag radials under it with zero issues. It does have coil overs in the stock shock locations and no quad shocks. I would really like to minitub the car but cutting the panhard bar down would be some work.

One could get this engine and then use the Roadster Shop’s new aftermarket frame!
