Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

can you run an air to air intercooler system on top mount blower setups instead of water to air?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Wouldn't be efficient.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Does anyone have the part number or know how long the stock belt is?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Pulley Size.....Belt Size.......Gates Part No......Gatorback Part No.
3.65 (stock).....75.1" .............K080751................4080750



I had very good luck with napa having a belt in stock.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Hmmm...seem to have a little problem here. I have the stock belt (verified the part number on it) and I have the stock pulley, but the belt will NOT fit. I tried and tried and its just too short or something, or is it possible one of the idlers is too big or in the wrong spot? Are they all the same size, and what are the part numbers?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

On my buddy's mach one is smaller than the other two. I think it's the middle one on the pulley bridge. Try going to a larger belt maybe instead of trying to find the smaller pulley.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Ohh ok, I bought the 3 pulleys off of a member on SVTP and they were the stock ones to my knowledge however I believe they are all the same size. The stock belt is 75, you think a 76" one would make a big enough difference, or just get a 77" maybe?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

On the Eaton swap dose it have to be a cobra oil cooler or can it just be any oil cooler?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Has to be the 03-04 Cobra Oil cooler.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

why the cobra oil cooler?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Because the other one's will run right into the back of the alternator. The cobra one is flipped down so the coolant hose goes right under the alternator.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

I would love to do this but it seems like there's so many things to go wrong. Like finding all the parts then finding a shop to install it then tune...in the end would it even be worth the eaton? Why not another kit?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Because other kits for a roots style or twin screw supercharger are WAAAYY more expensive than an Eaton swap. It's a fair amount of work, but worth it if you can see it through to the end in both power and amount of money spent. If you take your time anyway. Especially if you intend to run the stock block. I know I love my Heaton. :smokin:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Ya that's true. Is anyone selling kits for the Eaton swap yet?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Not really. Just ones that people piece together. Machgsxr on here has pieced a few together.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Yes, I originally bought all the parts to do the eaton swap but I realized now that I have everything I can just go Whipple and be done with. My main point is that you can start off with the eaton but you have so much room to grow. I gave my Steig. Stage IV to my buddy, who happens to run a shop and drives a stock eatoned cobra.

dont even look at the peak numbers...

im making 350RWTQ at 2500 v.s. 250 on my N/A tune

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

holy **** that is PERFECT. and you didnt have to cut through the shaker base. can you fab up another one for me? i plan on doing an eaton swap too.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

i wired my intercooler pump in where the PCV heater is plugged into the engine harness on the driver side.

it works perfectly. the pump only runs when the ignition is on. i did have to swap from a 2amp fuse to a 5amp fuse.

i let the pump run for about 2 hours one time with me turning it off and on multiple times to make sure i wouldn't have any problems. 500 miles later.... no problems.

ill post up pics when im back from vacation.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Are the t stat housing the same on the machs and cobras

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

yes. t-stat housings are the same

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

So is the frist list, in the frist post, is that everything needed to bolt on the whole eaton swap?? Is it a bad idea to just collect all the parts over like a year or two and then put it together??

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Yes, only thing missing is bolts, nuts and the idlers for the s/c belt. I will see if I can get those part #'s and post them in there.

Collecting parts over a year or two would be the best way to go about it. It gives you time to find the parts at good deals instead of having to pay more for it up front because you need it. I have seen some good deals lately, but with no money or need for them I pass on the parts. If I needed them and they were at a good price I would buy them.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Awesome thanks buddy. I am really wanting the swap. So that way I can port and polish it. I love the sound of the stiegemeiers :machgod:
