considering a new low budget combo for my car

[1980c10]

Well I ran across something on the corral the other night and its just so cheap its hard to pass up. A guy over there is selling kits to run the eaton m112 supercharger from the 03-04 cobra on a 5.0 $1200 for the kit and thats including the supercharger. linky

Add a megasquirt and some injectors and you got about $2000 in it. I already have a 255lph fuel pump. I would also need to source an explorer lower intake. I will have to get creative on the throttle cable I guess.

The only downfall is it will stick way out of the hood and kill the sleeper vibe lol.

hmmmm, what do you all think?

Sounds like a good idea. But if you want to keep the sleeper effect, eh, not gonna work. An explorer intake should be pretty easy to find. I might even be able to get you one, if you decide to go down this route. It sounds interesting! Either way I'd like to see how your car comes out.

What cylinder heads you got on your HO? GT40s or E7s? You may want to consider getting some better heads too. Ya know now that I'm thinking of it, I think Anderson Motorsports or somebody like that makes 1-3/4" shorty Stang headers. Might also be worth looking into when getting an s/c. Just my .

this. Even though I've got big honkin' tailpipes sticking out the back of my car, I tend to prefer the sleeper look.


I'd like to see what your car ends up like. I would go the twin turbo route probably before a supercharger.

sleeper FTW. go twin turbo :3gears:

I saw this posted a while back, and thought it looked kinda shady personally. I'm actually pretty curious how easily it would adapt into a panther. I'd actually be somewhat interested if it works somewhat decently.

As for the sleeper affect, who the hell cares when you have a blower sticking out your hood.

[mrltd]

You can but those blowers on ebay for 2-450 bucks....and probably make a better looking setup. I really dont like that support bearing on the snout. Just doesn't seem that great. I bought an m90 with IC, intake, TB, injectors, etc from a thunderbird supercoupe for 70 bucks..Depending on the rest of the combo, an M90 would be more than enough.

And the "kit" he sells doesnt look like it comes with all of the parts needed...You could probably make everything yourself a bit cheaper.

The M90 setup I have planned fits under the hood just fine

Crank Pulley? your 255lph may not be enough. Probably need a Kenne-Bell Boost-A-Pump. 20A. Lower Crank Pulley. Belts. Tensioner. Injectors. Bigger MAF. Tune. Gaskets. intercooler? heat exchanger. plumbing. I/C pump. Battery relocate.

That's all I can think of for now.

Idk. I am going megasquirt anyway so it will be speed density. I could probably do turbos cheaper. Idk just tossing idea around. I get bored lol.

[SVT98t]

Just letting you know. I have most of these parts sitting on a shelves.

Hrmmm

Forget forced induction; $1200ish will get you a set of brandy new Trick Flow 170s. Absolutely no point IMO to spending lots of money on poweradders whilst still running stock garbage for heads.

[1980c10]

Very good point. I would also really hate to go forced on a 302 cause i know damn well it won't be long before I want more and start pushing the limits of the block. Maybe I should just wait till the 351 gets in there with a good set of heads. Double hmmmmm lol

[1987cp]

If you're planning a 351, could always save the extra $300 for a set of 190s. I was thinking about this too - if I got some 190s with 1/2" holes and installed them with the spacer collars, I could swap them from a 302 to my old 351 without really having to do anything. Not having to buy heads twice would mean more cash available for other things I'll need like good rockers, linkbar lifters, and something better for induction than the 1406 carb and 2181 manifold.

Cool idea but not worth it without the supporting mods.

But if you had an aluminum block (5.0/5.8), forged internals and some AFRS it would be a pretty bad setup. Even if you cant go over 15psi on the m112 without over spinning I think it would be plenty.
