I get your point... I was just pointing out that it was significantly less than the cheapest KB...So was I. If he's going to compare cost, he's got to compare intercooled unit, with intercooled unit. He could have just as easily gone without an intercooler with his set up and saved even more money still. The intercooled KB goes for $4,900+, not $4,000+ Its nit picking I know, but if we're going dollar for cost here, we should have both kits on an even playing field.
Anyone find 406/461 at 12psi "exceptional"? My friend's running 14psi for 411rwhp...on his 03 cobra...
Gotcha....in that case, a thread title change has been made for clarification.Eric meant 2 valve but probably typo'd V2, either that or he removed 6 of my cylinders when I wasn't looking; which would make the results AMAZING!
Correct, he bought it with just the pulley, the guy sold off the mods.The horsepower is actually probably a little on the low side for 12psi (could be attributed to anything from a worn blower, to a tired engine, to the state of tune), but the torque is pretty exceptional, yes. In your buddies case, he's probably about 30-50hp shy of what most '03-'04 Cobra owners are seeing, pullied for 14psi. I take it he's got no intake or exhaust mods to go with the additional blower speed?
Correct, he bought it with just the pulley, the guy sold off the mods.
you've got to remember that 03/04 compression is 8.5:1 vs 01-04 Gt's 9.4:1. That shows for more power on same boost levels, But 12lb is about max on a stock Gt engine.
Thanks Brian...Gotcha....in that case, a thread title change has been made for clarification.
Everyone dogs the eaton, but the later ability to upgrade is right there. Its just like the cobras, when the eaton falls off buy a whipple.
I hope you convince them to go through with it at tork tech, as this would be a great upgrade for someone not wanting to go balls out or pay for a kenne bell.
+1 across the board. Edlebrock is using the new TVS 1900 internals and is making 400rwhp at 5psi on 3v's! Also, stock heads and cams 18psi on a 3V yielded 558rwhp on a different kit.The funny thing most don't realize, is that the 4th Gen Eatons on the Cobra’s are already just about right on par with a similarly sized Kenne Bell compressor. The reason the latest KB's have the performance advantage at all tends to be based more around the difference in displacement between the blowers themselves (2.1L KB vs. 1.85L Eaton) than their actual difference in efficiency.
As it sits, the 5th Generation Magnuson MP112 is already going horsepower for horsepower and even a couple of ticks ahead of the larger 2.1L KB by comparison.
And the move to a 1.9L TVS1900 will put a 2.1L to shame all the way across the board. As a matter of fact, the TVS1900 is capable of producing power levels on a 2V/4V modular engine that approach that of the much larger 2.4-2.6L Twin Screw compressors.....and there’s still the TVS2300 to contend with. Now that’s progress!!!
This ain't the same old strait cut "Heaton" or even 2nd or 3rd Gen hybrid of yester-year that everyone likes to bag on. Twin Screw distributors like Kenne Bell and Whipple wants you to remain ignorant of this fact more than anyone.
How else could they so grossly over inflate the prices of their blowers if the people found out they weren't king of the hill anymore?
Our design uses as many Cobra take-off parts as possible including the factory 2 pass cooler which the TT kit does not. It uses a single pass core "chunk" which the buyer must fabricate into a finished cooler.
I can't really comment on much on their MP112 kit, because the only thing I have to go off of is what I originally purchased from TTI.Im interested in your views on the TTI intercooler "chunk." Insufficient? Way to replace it with a better one?
