Supercharger question

[C-Tidda]

Don't ban me if this is a dumb question....But do the 03/04 Cobra superchargers bolt up to the NPI motors?

Not even close,

I believe someone makes a kit for them to bolt up to a PI motor, but its so expensive it makes no sense to do it.

Torktech makes a kit but not for the NPI heads... maybe some tinkering could get it to work.

Why not just a supercharger meant for your motor?

The npi heads and PI heads have differant intake ports, so it would only work with some adapter plates I would say

 

[C-Tidda]

just was wondering cuz I knew a guy selling one for 450 dollars.

It would take alot more than the supercharger to make it work.

$450 aint to bad.I think torktech sells just the adapter/Intake ,or you an buy the complete setup with blower etc.

Oh thanks for that info... never heard that before

It is not worth it. It is about a 2k swap onto another car with "C" heads let alone a 2valve. You are better off buying a supercharger kit meant for your engine.

Heres the torktech kit, its $1899 and you supply the blower head unit. Its not bad if you get the Cobra Blower cheap.

torktech doesn't use the Eaton supercharger on their kits anyways, the use the Magnum whatever s/c. If you had a 3.8 you could use the tbird or whatever it was s/c kit but for the 4.6 just plan on spending a lot of money or buy a cheap vortech kit

couldnt you pick up a lightning supercharger? Granted itd stick out of the hood, but who cares.. haha

their isnt even adapter plates made, you would have to basically reverse a set of npi/pi intake plates,

focks and i were considering this in the past when he had his car and a frpp blower and pi heads.. but it is possible, just tons of fabarication and headaches,and wayyy more then what it would cost for a centri kit.. and or piswap/cams/tune/n20/slicks/rear... etc and the list goes on.

He could have used the NPI blower on the PI heads, the blower intake runners are not far off of PI ports like a stock intake is. ThomasW had that setup in his car with no alterations at all. Everything lined up.
