3.0 pulley and crank pulley, looking to sell as complete. pics to follow,unit is less than 2 years old with only summer use.

Lets here your offers..........please no low balling....lol:beer:

[NATEHAWK]

Hmmmmmmmmm interesting...Let's take this to PM... BTW anyone else know what else would be needed to add the twin screw to a existing Trilogy kit? Besides everything he listed already....

Hold up I just read your other thread man. This is a Trilogy Eaton your selling you just put the Magnuson T/S on your car correct?

Brackets are gonna be different than the typical gortch brackets (difference in snout lengths between a standard M112 and the Trilogy), but with the adaptor plate and rear plenum, everything else should work.

Shorter or longer do you think? If so by how much? Also do you think there is a difference between any of the other parts ie lower pulley etc

I always get it mixed up, I'm thinking the Trilogy's longer (?), by about 3/8 to 1/2"

Need a different lower hub, Metco makes both Eaton swap and Trilogy hubs (they could also prolly give you the dimensional difference, as they've got to machine the length variance into the lower hubs).

[justbob]

Trilogy = 3/8 shorter.

[clintons4]

Trilogy = 3/8 shorter.


So if this includes the lower pulley as he states in the OT then I would just have to machine the terry brackets 3/8" and use shorter bolts to use this with all the other eaton parts that I have right now. (I just bought the intercooler which was the last part I needed) how about the Zack COT?

I swear it is shorter. I know the 3/8" part is correct. Yes, grind down the brackets. Not sure if the COT would work or not. I could confirm blower measurements if someone else could confirm Eaton ones if that helps.

Very good price BTW. Hell even I am tempted just to leave it get dusty on the shelf for a different project. (Think Explorer :) )

Bob, did you have to swap out your COT when you installed your Trilogy?

I'm thinking the 3/8" is the correct dimension, too, but I wonder if the Trilogy snout wasn't made a little longer to clear the OEM COT (hence my question).

In any event, +1 on the price, good deal for a great product.

Boy o boy,Just when I thought I was almost there,this comes up....Like the other member said,,,,,worth it to sit on the shelf until my head clears.....bugsy....:confused: :confused:

The Trilogy COT is a two piece unit with a hose that travels under the snout, then back up to the other side.

Still contemplating this...

would I be able to buy an inlet and COT for this if I did pull the trigger on it :confused:

Read rest of first page, please.

[UncleLar]

Read rest of first page, please.
Okay,I went back and read it,thank you,I did skip over the rest.

Two things have annoyed me for quite a while in the For Sale forums,

1. When someone pops on MM.net out of the blue and their first post and usually only posts are items they're selling.They're not established members and if no one knows them that is,then they just MIGHT be scam artists.
In a way I get irritated that the only use they have for the site is to dump their stuff and make some money off the members.
Yes,we can also argue it's nice to gave a fresh source of parts from an outsider,but remember,Buyer Beware.Offhand I can't think of an incident where an established member has outright tried ripping another member off, of course I could be wrong but if it has happened it hasn't happened often.
If you go WAY back to the first couple years of MM.net you can find where a member in a far state shipped his car to a total stranger fellow member in another state so he could fly down and attend a big MM Meet. The member
whom the car was shipped to not only carefully inspected the car for damage when it came off the transporter,but he also pulled HIS MM out of the garage,cleaned,(and I seem to recall also waxed),the shipped MM and parked it in the garage and left his outside so the shipped car would be clean and safe while waiting for it's owner to pick it up.
After the meet was over he again stored the car in his garage and made sure it was safely loaded in a truck/transporter for the return trip to it's owner.
That's the way it was here back then,it was all about sharing knowledge to improve our cars and the comraderie.sic :beer:


2. This IS NOT eBay,either post your asking price.
If you just plain don't know whatever it is you're selling is worth come out and ask for advice on what a FAIR price would be,once you establish that go ahead and set your asking price. :soapbox:

[Mest30]

Just busting your balls, man. But it's okay, tell us how you really feel.

[hotford]

WOW sounds like hes a little angry with the government........not so much my post.......lol

I thinks its a fair price for everything,just securing the upper plenum for the trilogy to sweeten the deal for someone........

[Mike Ruo]

Could you send me a pm of what other parts are needed to make this a complete kit? Also, would it work on a 2 valve if I wanted to use it on something else later on down the road? Thank you, Mike.

[Mercguy04]

Uncle Lar has two good points.
One is Community. and
Two is posting a price.
I post what I think is a fair price for what I sell. If you like it buy it, if not don't.
There is no need to make snide comments about someone asking price, because
what ever the seller want for his products is what he wants. If he changes his or her
mind, so be it.
I think this is well documented in the Cars for sale threads It is what it is and
I buy from someone because I want the part. Price is secondary

still forsale....................... ......
any takers...................

[hotford]

ok I have now acquired the upper inlet plenum peice that attaches to the thorttle body new to add to the rest of the kit, this should make it easier for the buyer to make or acquier the rest of the kit..The added piece cost me 300 so i now would like 1800.


anyone that is handy can but this together using the same parts as doing a eaton swap,these are the hard to get parts for the triolgy..........

[BODYMAN]

I would have to agree with others on one point. People coming on site and list parts for sale and it is there one and only post & join date is the day they listed the part. I know once I lost out on a sale of a part cause a 1 post member sold same part I was selling. Anyhow GLWS Hotford!

next in line for this... i sent a pm for pictures of all the parts that come with the kit and also a list of what i will be missing to complete it

[justbob]

You guys that don't know what is missing should check the Eaton swap threads. He is offering the key ingredients to a Trilogy is all and at a damn good price I should say. This is a killer deal for anyone wanting a Trilogy style set up.

Hey just bob

There has been talk on the site that you could use the parts from the eaton swap to make the trilogy blower work . How hard would you think it be to really make this happen??

IIRC, the primary differences between the Eaton swap and Trilogy set-up are the brackets, due to snout length, and an adapter plate between the LIM and blower base. Other than that, I think everything else should be the same.

Correct, the Eaton's stick out 3/8" farther than the Trilogies. Easy fix is to just shave 3/8" off the tensioner bracket and order a lower hub for a Trilogy instead of one for an Eaton from Metco. He is including the blower adaptor plate.

Only other difference that I can think of off hand is the EGR tube and coolant tube under the manifold, and of course the two coolant cross over tubes.

as you can see i have also aquired the upper plenum trilogy piece,this will raise the price of what im looking for to 1800 as the plenum cost me an extra 300 to get.
This should make things easier to get for the guy that is handy........

[GetMeMyStogie]

Problem is this isn't a complete kit. All we have here is a drivers-side inlet Eaton blower. This has to compete with the M122 swap.

[SC Cheesehead]

Actually, no. He's selling the blower, the inlet pipe, and an upper/lower pulley set along with the Trilogy adaptor plate that will allow it to bolt up to an OEM Cobra lower intake manifold.

Pretty decent deal when you consider all that along with the fact that it'll allow retention of the DS intake orientation.

For anybody contemplating an Eaton swap that hasn't bought the blower head yet, this is well worth considering.

[hotford]

^^^^^YES Thank you.... someone that knows what this is and actually worth.........

[RocsMerc]

Anyone who is considering doing an Eaton swap to their car should be considering buying this.

I might be able to help since I think I'm the only one to install an incomplete Trilogy kit so far. I can help anyone who might buy this to know what to expect. The best advice I can give is to get a copy of the Trilogy manual and read the Eaton swap sticky thread. Most of the parts listed in the Eaton swap thread are directly usable in this application and should be used to help you track down everything you need. After you have all the parts, follow the Trilogy manual to help you install it. The Trilogy manual is also good for making sure you have a full list of the different size nuts, bolts, screws, washers, and lock washers that you will need.

There are a couple of minor modifications that you will need to do when assembling it. First of all, the Trilogy outlet plate won't mount directly to an unmodified Cobra intake manifold. (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=65752) There are two small spots that will need to be ground off the opening of the manifold. It was actually much easier to do than it looks. I just cut them off with a cutting tool on a Dremel and used a file to make the top smooth. The second modification is more minor. The intercooler will need some extra holes drilled into the thin aluminum flange to make room for the bolts that hold the supercharger to the outlet plate. (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=67805) The easiest way to do it is to screw the intercooler to the outlet plate and mark where the holes need to be drilled from the top of the plate through the holes, then take it apart and drill it. Don't forget to drill the provision for the boost gauge outlet into it too.

There are a couple of other Trilogy specific things that you wont have that I did have. As already stated in this thread, The bracket for the supercharger belt tensioner is a different depth from the Eaton swap to the Trilogy. As long as you can trim the length of the bracket evenly so it still mounts straight, that should work out fine. The tensioner has a smooth pulley, not a ribbed one, so I doubt it will be a disaster if the depth is off by a millimeter or two, as long as it sits straight. The other thing to consider is the EGR system. The factory EGR pipe won't fit the new location of the EGR valve. The trilogy kit came with a flexible pipe that could bend into position. Your options would be to either track this pipe down, have an exhaust shop fab something up for you, or do what most of the Eaton swap guys do and just delete the EGR system. Another thing is the PCV system. The Trilogy kit came with a solid metal pipe that goes from the PCV valve on the heads to the back of those vacuum line connectors on the back of the supercharger plenum. There is probably an easy way to replace this with something different. It's just something to be considered. The final thing is the crossover tube. You might be able to use the same modified COT as the Eaton swap guys, but it's never been done before, so no one can say with certainty if it will fit the Trilogy application. To be honest, I don't see any reason why it won't fit but if you don't feel like being the gunny pig, there is another option. I purchased a COT delete kit and just ran normal radiator hoses under the snout. You can read about my install here. (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=80951)

Good luck to whatever lucky person buys this and GLWTS. Don't forget, if the buyer of this has any questions about how the Trilogy / Eaton swap hybrid install will go, just PM me.

What if any are the advantages of a Trilogy vs an Eaton swap???

[SC Cheesehead]

What if any are the advantages of a Trilogy vs an Eaton swap???


An original Trilogy was a complete kit that included all the parts and instructions required to install the supercharger, re-set the tune, etc; basically it was turnkey.

The other advantage is a Trilogy blower is driver's side inlet, so no relocation of the battery, fusebox, etc. is required.

As far as the actual blower head, both are M112 based, so same basic performance capability.
