I've been talking to HiPerformanceSolutions and they will put out a manifold for the Eaton along with installation instructions and tips. This is based on their new 4.6 2V hi-performance manifold.

http://www.hiperformancesolutions.com/

They need to sell 200 to make it work. Price would be around 900.

Send them an email if your interested.

I really don't see how its gonna gain any power over stock. Maybe its me but it looks just like a factory copy made out of another material.

HPS is getting more power from their N/A manifold. They are looking into taking that design and making another manifold that will seat an Eaton blower like on the Cobra.

Talk, talk, talk and they STILL aren't selling this manifold yet...now they say they "are caught up on all "pressing projects" and tooling for
the HPS intake is scheduled for four weeks from now. If all goes well
we will see manifolds in six weeks !"
I'll believe it when I see it. As their site also says, "It's about time" - yeah, it sure is...so where is your product? Been talking about it for at least 6 months.

More on new 4.6 2v Manifold

From Bob Hardin at HPS.

"Our N/A manifold is simular to stock but the plenum is bigger and entry is
smoother.It can be ported and, due to its design, runners can be shortened for the ultimate custom tuning. Also I believe we can make a dual pattern
manifold for the blowers to fit both popular styles.So if you wanted to upgrade to another blower,no need for a different manifold."

Sounds good to me.

It would be cheaper to just go KB and get MORE power than an Eaton

First off, KB's aren't cheap. 4-6k by the time you get done. Eaton power is still way better IMO then N/A.

$900 just for the intake and you think the rest of the Eaton parts aren't going to be as much as the KB kit?

You can get the head units off eBay for 400-600$ all day long, the heat exchanger lists for 400$ new from ford, and I forget what the intercooler costs, but it isnt too bad. The lines are under $100 and then you would just need an intercooler pump.

You would also need a fuel pump, injectors, and a tune.

So for around 2500-3000 dollars your could piece together a Eaton M110 kit and have loads of room for modifications.

That's for the N/A manifold.. He's talking about an udated version of the one shown for an Eaton blower if they get enough responses.

with all the 03/04 Cobra guys going Whipple and KB, It should be pretty easy to come by a low miles 2.2 Eaton. I bet there will be hood clearence issues and such trying to put the eaton on the 2V. Also, they will have to sell a whole kit with intercooler to make it viable. You can't just bolt on the eaton and go on the 2v. Could be dangerous. I am willing to bet that all the money you spend on getting the Eaton to work on the 2v, you could have gotten a base #6 kit from KB that would most likely make more power. Interesting though. I'd like to see the old Eaton on a 2v.

Nice intake though

At least the Purplemustang intake is shipping and appears to have more thought put into it than the OEM copy that HPS is going to sell......some day.

Actually, you now have 3. The Bullit, P51, and the PurpleMustang intake.

Bullit: Its a proven piece but gets expensive once you buy all the parts including the "install kit" where they stick you without lube one last time before you get your car done.

P51: Its finally shipping in small quantities and KenB has already proven that this is a killer intake with his car. There is at least one other member at Modular Depot that already has one on their car. It isn't as "radical" as people once thought and is fine on a street car. Its $1199 ready to install. The only downside I see comparted to the Bullit is that the P51 is fugly.

Purple Mustang: This intake was quickly heading into "vaporware land" with the HPS intake, but has recently started shipping in small quantities. Its got variable length runners and reuses your upper plenum and needs no additional "install kit" or anything. However, as far as I know, it has not been dyno'd yet but I am highly anticipating its results. If it proves to provide reliable power on a N/A setup, I know where I'm spending $750 this winter. Its also somewhat attractive if you care what your engine bay looks like.

If you are going with a kb you don't need a lower intake.

Nick's right (again!)
The HPS is, more or less, just a copy of the OEM manifold.
The Bullitt is pricey, but does works well with mildly modded mod motors.
The P-51 is butt ugly.
The PurpleMustang intake - mmmmm, nice...can't wait to see how it performs. Looks bitchin!
