Eaton M112

[crimzon]

I know this has been asked before, but I have never seen the answer I wanted... :-)

Ok, Here is the situation. My buddy has an 03 Cobra. He is in the process of replacing his M112 with a KB now. Would it be possible to have his M112 modified for the MM? I can get a great deal on the M112, but if it isnt possible to mod this SC for the MM, I dont see a point in buying it from him, and saving my money for a different setup.

I would think even if you can get the SC cheap enough, you would pay more ultimately to have a shop fab up the install of it for the first time. He who goes first pays the most.

call Lidio/Pande/Dennis/MDMotorspots or a shop near you to ask.. don't go anywhere they have not done a SC on a MM before or you will pay even more.

Thats what I figured. I'm getting the M112 for free, so I guess my real concern was if it is going to cost more to get it setup, then just getting the trilogy setup, I might as well let him sell it and get some money out of it.

I'll give him $250.00 for it? :flamer: :lol:

I've seen other used M112's go for between $600 and $1000, but you may need a different length snout, plus there are a lot of other parts that may need to be custom fabbed for you. Trilogy might be able to sell you "part" of a kit, but without it being assembled by them it probably wouldn't be warrentied and you would end up paying just about as much as buying the kit from them anyway.

You need a custom intake, Trilogy's intercooler may or may not be the same as the Cobra, the pulleys and belt routing needs to be figured out, fuel pump issues, injectors?, heat exchanger, reservoir, and electric water pump for the heat exchanger, custom burned chip...and the list goes on and on.

I agree w/the answers you've received so far on this. You really would have to become your own engineer in order to make it work on your Marauder, or hire an engineer. You would have to do all the planning and engineering that Trilogy Motorsports has already done for you.

I don't blame you for trying to think of a way to cut corners in order to save $$, but I think that it would end up costing you atleast as much if not more in the longrun, as well as a lot more trial and error as well as headaches.

Consider this......when I got my Trilogy S/Cer kit delivered to my house, it came in two boxes. The box that the Eaton M112 Supercharger itself came in, weighed about 40LBS, and the second box that contained all the other parts to the kit weighed exactly 97LBS!!! It's no joke. And it also came w/a 140 page looseleaf notebook instruction manual w/color step by step pictures of the installation procedure. And let me add that nothing within those 140 pages including the pictures was universal or generic. Every single sentence of every page was Marauder specific.

So I just want to encourage you to think hard about that before you decide to embark on such an endeavor such as beginning this task w/the supercharger alone. It's for these reasons that I've just listed to you that I decided against buying a Whipple twin screw S/Cer for my Marauder. Because it just so happens that neither Whipple nor Kenne Belle offer complete S/Cer kits for the Marauder. The closest they come is for the Cobra, and that would have a number of parts that us Marauder owners cannot use.

BTW, the one member on this board who installed a S/Cer on his Marauder w/out having a kit for it was "Effster". It wasn't an Eaton, but it was a Kenne Belle twinscrew S/Cer, and he would be the first to admit (and has) that it was a colossal task, and one that he would NOT recommend to just anyone. His car is making some great power, but he told me that it was a major hassle to get everything together. I also believe that it took him quite awhile to complete, and this guy is a professional mechanic who is also part owner of a serious speed shop that does all kinds of work to Hi-perf cars.

I would ask Jerry at Trilogy if he would sell one of hits kits with every but the SC itself:) Slam dunk.

[MI2QWK4U]

I know for a fact that the snout is different between the 03 Cobra and the Trilogy setup for the Marauder.

[BillyGman]

I doubt that you'll be able to purchase anything from Trilogy but a complete kit since they told me over the phone that they do NOT sell any of the parts alone w/out the S/Cer.
