how to turn my 01 cobra into an 03 cobra.......

[four.six]

ok guys, i was thinking about supercharging my car. i really want the set up that the 03/04 cobra has. i know nothing of this operation. first off, is this even possible?? has anybody done this??? how hard is it gonna be?? what are all the parts i will need?? do they make a kit for this?? thanks guys!!

Anything is possible if you have the right $.The main starting point is the motor but that motor costs some money.

Basically you want a built motor with a supercharger, a 6 speed, 03+ cobra mirrors and the complete body kit +Wheels. Am i missing anything?

A few people have actually done it, it's rather easy...




Trade in + $$$

ok let me refrase that, i dont want the looks or the tranny. basically just the supercharger. dont i have the same 4.6L DOHC motor as the 03/04 cobra?? im just missing the supercharger/parts?? right?

You are missing a blower and a completely different casting of the block and internals if I'm not mistaken. The accy. are also setup differently too.

Hmmm, no

99-01 Cobra use an aluminium block, 03+ use iron. 99-01 have cast internals, 03+ have forged internals. The heads are differents, the cams are different, not the same engine AT ALL.

OIC..... i did not know that. i feel like an idiot. well, maybe i should just invest in a vortech..... thanks anyways guys.

Yeah, you're better off adding a Vortech to your '01 instead of piecing together an 03/04 supercharger setup (for cost reasons).

Be careful with the boost, if you get too greedy the engine will let go - as a handful of other 96-98 & 99/01 owners have found out.

 

[Avenger]

I would advise spending some money on forged internals if you want to make serious power. My friend is running an S-trim @ 8psi making 430 rwhp. I think it's a conservative setup and will last a long time but I wouldn't recommend more than 10 psi on the stock longblock.

WTF man !! Are you telling me you gained close to 40rwhp with a catted X and mufflers ??

not me.... look at COBRA90GT's sig.

99-01 have cast internals, 03+ have forged internals.

Actually, the cranks are forged in all 4.6L Cobra's....all that would really need to be added are a good set of Rods and Pistons. Which can actually be had fairly cheaply now. Add a Vortech, ATI, or a Paxton along with the new internals and make '03-'04 Cobra sing for their supper.

For once, could we please leave the retarded KB comments at the door.
