"Flyin Brian"
I've been researching and planning on adding a supercharger (Eaton swap?) to my Marauder...I'm a noob so please forgive me, but whats the most cost effective way to do this? Trilogy kits are $6,000...Which is an Eaton M112
Is there a cheaper way to do it myself and then get it tuned?
I notice many people seem to have done this...PLEASE help a new guy out!
Currently I have a 2004 Marauder with 33,000 miles, SCT 93 octane tune and a K&N CAI
Any advise?...Words of wisdom?

Are you mechanically inclined? Do you play well with Legos?

I love the smell of Nitromethane and rubber in the morning!

My Eaton swap is close to 2k total.... There's deals to be had if you're patient searching and do your homework.

Going the Eaton swap route is definitely old school, you've got to round up most of the parts (the majority of them used) yourself, fabricate a few more, and then use some good old gearhead engineering to bring it all together.Originally Posted by loud2004marquis
The payoff is a supercharger installation that will cost you between $3,500 and $4,500 (depending how good a bargain hunter you are, and how much work you can do yourself), delivering you 400+ rear wheel HP.
Words of wisdom: Take your time, shop around, ask alot of questions.

WOW! So you did all the work yourself and then just took it in to get tuned?

No, actually ImpalaSlayer did my installation, I just dropped the car off at his place with 95% of the parts andhed did the rest.
Zack and Swordfish did their own installations, so their end cost was prolly a bit lower than mine. That said, I still came in just under $4,000, installed, tuned, and out the door.

I can't wait. Although, I did pass a supercharged Blue Marauder like it was sitting still after leaving Louisville this year, I hope my Eaton swap doesn't cause me to go s-l-o-w-e-r......
