Cobra Eaton on 5.0

[joeystang]

So I thought it was about time to start my own thread on this and stop posting onto other peoples threads. So I started this project about 6 months ago with the Thunderbird M90 supercharger and then decided to upgrade to the M112. So here is a few picks and a video on it, there is more on my Photobucket "joeyfocus" if your interested in looking around as well as many pics of my other projects. Also I am making several more of these for sale at various different prices depending on what you are interested in. I also do custom CAD designs. If your interested just ask me.

funny you mention those cores as i was going to use them on my a2w setup for my kb. but after shawn(92rohcp) reworked mike's a2a setup i went this route too. those cores are pretty nice though.

[joeystang]

Its weird that ya'll are talking about the laminova coolers, I just learned of these things a few weeks ago and have been trying to get my hands on some of them to see if I could work on integrating them into my setup and maybe the KB too.

Nice fab work, how does that s/c compare to a paxton/vortech set-up. I would imagine it doesn't need high rpm to make boost. How much boost are you making? What will you do for a hood/scoop set-up, hieght seems to be an issue.

I'm not sure how if compares to the Paxton/Vortechs because I have never worked with them. But it makes about 14PSI on a 2" pulley and the stock crank pulley. Hight isn't too big of an issue, it fits under a 2.5" cowler hood with just a slight bit of modification. (see picture below)

[joeystang]

Here is just a few higher quality pictures of the supercharger on my stang.

[StarrMan]

Have you ran the A/C on that setup yet? Doesn't look like there's much belt wrap on the compressor pulley...lol

Yeah, it works fine cruising and at idle, just slips a little when you get on it.

[joeystang]

So I put a few more of these together if anybody is interested in buying.

I will gladly when I get it back together, I cracked the block.

what shaft did you use on the snout? i see its longer.

I made about a 5" long shaft that presses onto the stock shaft where the pulley would normally go.

[joeystang]

So I'm starting to break down my motor finally, and here is a pic of one of the head gaskets, this is the passenger side. It was the worst but the driver's side was blown too, 7 of 8 cyl were compromised.

Thats pretty sick!! exactly how i thought something like that should be made!!

Thanks for the look,

now THATS the way to blow a head gasket! bravo! time for some machine work and MLS gaskets???

[joeystang]

Lol thanks, I have been debating about what gaskets to go back with.

that's good advice, to break a piston.

eliminate the weak links, right?

[joeystang]

Yeah already found out the head gaskets and block can't handle it.

[Stangaddiction]

Does your adapter work with any lower intake?

[joeystang]

I can make one to fit any lower intake.

[Stangaddiction]

Other than the adapter plate what else is needs to be modified to make the set up work? How much boost were you getting with the m90... I'd only be looking to boost my motor 5-7lbs with some meth probably... lastly how much are you getting for a custom bracket? Thanks!

Nothing to be modified, just some different routing of the vacuum line to be ok for boost. The m90 was maxing out between 6-8PSI. I sell the M112 in several ways. Follow this thread to find out more:

Custom Eaton M112 Supercharger Kit for 5.0

I only sell the M90 kit without the supercharger, its $550 for the adapter.

[raysmust]

Do you have any good pictures of the belt routing? I am trying to see if I can make this work on my car. I am not running power steering or A/C on mine.

This might not be the right place but you mention in your for sale thread that you could sell a kit with the front bearing support and idler. Could you PM me a price with those pieces added in? I think I will need an idler or maybe two to do this without A/C and power steering.

Thanks, Ray

Your set up looks very similar to the one I made for my Lightning, having more width an height I was able to put a Cobra/Lightning style IC in the adaptor.Custom water 2 Air IC adaptor

[ReplayMan]

Nice work

I have seen this thread several times, it looks good. I working on a custom intercooler to fit inside my adapter.

nice!! my kind of build!! any chance this would fit under a 3.5" cobra r hood? is the snout extension for fox or sn95 5.0?

It should fit, the extenjtion has adjustment to fit both models

[brando87gt]

My main concern about fitment is with the extended snout. Will that hood mod have to be made with any hood? I was planning on buying the 3.5" cobra r hood from ho fibertrends after the first of the year.

I wouldn't think so, that hood mod was on a 2" cowl hood and it only stuck out by a 1/4" so I would think a 3"+ hood would be ok.

[DSBLK93GT]

No 2nd guessing those head gaskets LOL. I like the 8548 PT2 gaskets.
