Thinking about ditching the eaton for turbo

4valvegt · July 15th, 2011, 10:59 PM

Well i have been hearing a lot of good about the on3 kits for the gt and they make a very similar kit for the cobra. I am just wondering if anyone has one on their cobra, correct me if im wrong but im thinking this kit would have more potential and effeciency over my eaton swap.

In a word: Yes

Yes a turbo is better than the eaton, but do read around on theturboforums.com, and other websites before you buy. Not all of the reviews are favorable. So in short, do your research.

I plan too, I see alot for the gts dont see too many cobras out there with the on3 kit. I dont want to change pullies or go with a different blower whenever I want a little bit more power, seems too unpractical when you can just turn the knob on a boost controller.

Theres a couple Mach's on youtube with the On3 setup. One of the On3 shop cars is a 99 Cobra lol.

If your engine is built then yes a turbo would be better than the eaton. If the engine is not built then you will still be limited by both the eaton and turbo to keep the bottom end from falling apart.
