No not worth it at all. If not mistaken you have to get heads off the 4v and a new intake. You would be alot better off with a kenne bell. Its designed for the 2v and would be alot earier to do. And is a better supercharger.

This has been discussed many times before.. not to be mean but you need to learn to use the search feature... but to answer your question.. No.. it's not going to happen.. It will not fit without a lot of customization done… and even if you do custom mount it it’s going to cost more then a brand new supercharger already made for a 2 valve.. Not to mention that the eatons suck anyway… that’s why most cobra owners swap it out for a Kenne Bell.

No, not ever going to happen..... by the time you rigged it together, you could have a proper 2v supercharger. The eaton wouldnt make much power anyway.... NOT WORTH THE TIME AT ALL!!!
I have seen a lot of these threads lately... im going to make this a sticky for a bit

Actually, it can be done. Check out http://www.nautilusperformance.com/id74.html. The kit that you see on the page isn't the final production unit that they will come out with.. From what i understand, they will be coming out with a kit for $700 or so which comes with the basics to run this setup, such as manifold, plumbing, relocation brackets etc....but will not come with fuel, blower or tune etc... It can be very easy to find a ported/pullied eaton M112 for about $400-600 on ebay. If you could get the rest of your parts slightly used (If this isn't a budget supercharger, you might as well get a KB) you could probably do this project for around $1600 or so.. I suggest you give them a call and see what they can help you with. A ported/pullied Eaton is capable of putting out more power than a stock GT block can hold.

just remember they dont call an Eaton a heaton for nothing ... a good friend of mine had a steig ported eaton on his cobra, had to f around with all kinds of cooling goodies. For the money and the hassle you would be much better off going with something like the vortec mongoose kit

there is another company which makes a full m112 kit but it costs more so I dont think it would be worth it. Here is a link for anyone intersted.
Thats expensive. Alomost as much as a KB.

Stanggang is Unfortunately 100% correct with the "Heaton" term. The heat soak is the #1 issue with these blowers as you push them past their efficiency range with a pully. One positive aspect to this kit is that if it doesn't come with a heat exchanger, you don't have to upgrade, since you wouldn't have one to begin with, you can buy an afco or similar unit to begin with...I agree though, that if you don't find bargain deals on most of the parts, the kit starts to add up for what it is. I think this kit is really the best option for someone with a stock block looking for around 350-400rwhp, as it could be done cheaper than any other. If max boost is what your after, there are FAR better options out there. Even with ported heads and cams, this blower would probably max out around 500rwhp. With this being relatively new to the market, the only way we will really know how well or poorly this setup will work is for people to try it. The only real question a potential buyer has to ask himself is what the ultimate goal is. If 400rwhp is enough, and you want to keep costs down while having strong low end torque then this may be the blower for you. If the goal is to one day have a built block, then there are a lot better blowers for that.
