I heard a place called hoganracing could make a custom manifold to fit an 03 cobra oem supercharger on the 4.6 sohc engine. Anyone hear anything like this or do this. Or is it bull@#$%..:SNSign:
Your reading comprehension sucks.OMG they want 2,000 for that manifold. I tell you right now for the money your paying for just manifold you might as well just buy a supercharger made for your car.
You will still need all the aftercooler parts, injectors, fuel pump, MAF, ect. The best part is the Eaton on the Cobras aren't even that good of a blower. Im not saying they are crap but you can deffinatley do much better.
Don't know about Hogan Racing, but I know Tork Tech makes a superchargerless manifold kit to work with the '03-'04 Cobra blower. '99-04 GT Supercharger-less Kit Using a '03/04 Cobra Blower - C46Kit
The Eatons max out around 500 on the cobra when they're ported. I wonder what 2v would end up at 400?
if i had known about tork tech a year ago i probably would have went with them rather then vortech.
But you can upgrade the Vortech clear to a YSI trim capable of supporting 1000 rwhp using your existing bracket. . The Eaton is a good dependable blower for moderate hp levels. But a race blower it ain't. I doubt the Eaton would perform the same as it does on the 4v unless there was decent head and cam work and I think it's still doubtable
A eaton could never break 600 rwhp on a 2V. But a little Vortech S-trim has.
I have never heard of a s-trim making more then 550rwhp. and that was spining the damn thing about as fast as it could go. not calling you a liar just saying its the first i've heard of it. I do however intend on getting a t-trim upgrade and attemp to put down over 600rwhp.
to bad KB quit making the kit for the 96-98 crowd,question is i am new to 4.6l and was wondering if i can use a 99-04 kit,i know heads are differant but if you can stick a pi intake on a npi motor why cant you do the same with a KB,isint it the coolant passages that are the problem?i think im gonna settle for an hp perf tt kit if i cant do the KB thing
lol....did you just quote yourself?But you can upgrade the Vortech clear to a YSI trim capable of supporting 1000 rwhp using your existing bracket. .

Your reading comprehension sucks.
The kit includes the manifold, intercooler core, hoses, thermostat housing, brackets, tensioner, 8-rib secondary belt drive system and all mounting hardware.
Considering the intercooler core alone would run you close to $1,000 to have one built, or buy it from Ford, I'd say this is a hell of a deal!?!
What you would need to add is fuel system components, front mount heat exchanger, coolant pump and tank, inlet tube, hoses belts, etc, and computer tuning.
Combine that with the cost of a used Eatom M112 blower and inlet combination from Ebay and you could still put yourself a pretty nice kit together for around $3,500-$3,800.....which is still much, much cheaper than any other Positive Displacement set up on the market.
As far as the Eaton supercharger sucking....well, I guess if you call 500hp/500tq capable "sucking", but if I recal you're not making much more power with your Vortech set up? And how much money have you got sunk into it at this point?
