Hi Eric, sorry mate but you will have to join the queue :lol: already had 5 members contact me asking if im selling the paxton, I will once i can get a replacement etc, no pictures on engine as never fitted it, i bought it 2 yrs ago then had the engine probs last year and didnt have the money or ti...

yeah saw that one on ebay mate, he wont budge on the price either, :cry: i'll keep looking, Hi Tony could you put up some pictures of your old Paxton on the engine please. My Eaton wont fit not even with a short nose, so I could be in the market for your type of blower if it will fit and of course ...

Hi Chedder, those figures look very encouraging I must say, could you tell me what pulley sizes you are moving up from and what sizes you will end up with to achieve 7-8psi as that's is around the figure I am looking for. My engine will rev to 7,000 + but I have limited it to 6,600 so as not to bust...

Would recon that you will need to sort out some form of bypass either vacuum or electronic from the throttle body to the plenum. I have been running my Eaton M90 after the throttle body on my efi 3.5 V8 for a year now with no adverse effects other than a poor hot idle due to the length of the inlet...

Yet another quick question boys. I note most supercharged installations have the throttle body/butterfly aft of the supercharger. I have made up a twin plenum chamber/cover & inlet manifold has had new set of trumpets shortened to V8 Developments pattern and bored out to 44mm I/D as deep as you ...

On your filler line Does it go Filler cap Flex hose Straight / curved pipe Flex hose Tank inlet? If so Remove the straight / curved pipe and t into this for the return You may also find that youhave a breather pipe in there too and at a push this could be used but not that desirable I have als seen...

With regards to welding the tank- my old chap used to drain them and leave it to stand to dry out then fill with water up to just underneath the level where he would weld and do it that way. Also once it is full of water flash a flame over the filler hole whilst standing back- just incase! (there w...

I know you have bypass valves on some eatons and dry blowers but obviously not on a wet set up as you would be blowing petrol mix out!!! The speed of a supercharger is directly proportional to engine speed so I dont think there is really a worry of getting a pressure surge like you could (?) with a...

With regards to running the blower wet- i.e. draw through it is a risk but also very common! The Janspeed twin turbo systems (on carbs) are also draw through as are all dragsters and old skool style blower set ups (like mine!) You end up with a plenum full of compressed air and fuel- effectively a ...

well can't you just get an extra return fitting welded to the tank? I've also got me a Phil Ringwood Megasquirt but it's not been out of the box in over a year lol! That should be fun trying to get that to work ;p) Well, very risky welding any petrol tank and this one cant ever be removed from the ...

Hi Ian, sorry did not make myself clear, I am converting from 475 Holly to Eaton super charger after I have got the mega-squirt in jection sorted & running. Advise on this site and from Eaton themselves not to run a draw through configuration as regards fuel as like the LP Carter fuel pump it bl...

Any particular reason why you can't put the swirl pot in the boot? They're not that big really. And I'm assuming that since most cobras run carbs, the factory tanks don't come with a return fitting, bah! Should be ok plumbing the return downstream of the filler like you mentioned. chodjinn, yes mos...

Ian that all makes perfect sense many thanks for that. As you may have guessed it's a Cobra Replica and I was thinking of placing the swirl pot up front out of the engine bay which would solve the heat problem (Eaton M112), but not so good in the event of a front end smash!! You then still have the ...

Hi Guys, would it be appropriate to T in the fuel return pipe from the Swirl Pot in-between the tank outlet and low pressure pump (Carter) at the rear of the car instead of trying to plum it in directly into the tank?
