Well im seriously considering buying a Supercharger for the Mach, but have no idea on which one to go with.

First of all, The Eaton M112, is it worth it? i'd really like one of these but the parts list is longgg and i have scavenger hunts. i've also read you can complete the whole things for like $3k-$4k. Which is good IMO since im a poor college student.

Next up, the good ole vortech. Tried and true, but the 4v already lacks low end torque, which is why i like the eaton. but vortechs are cheap and reliable. would a V2 kit from a GT work on the mach? i know i'd need stuff like the pipe to the Tb, mounting brackets and a few other things but i found a sick deal on one.

Also, does anyone know where i can get a non i/c'ed satin vortech for the machs?

 

You can always talk to Lookngo on the registry and he can put a kit together for you. The blower choice is entirely up to you and what you're looking for even this swap is very popular with machs. I like the fact that ported blowers are a dime a dozen over at svtperformance which makes 500+ pretty easy or just save a little more and go with a KB or Whipple, which are plain badass. As far as the Eaton being worth it, you will get my personal opinion in less than a week.

 

really? i need to look him up. i couldnt run a ported one on my stock shortblock though could i? oh hurry the hell up lol how long did it take you to gather all the parts?

 

Took me about a month to find the parts for mine. So far I have about $2400 in it. I had a vortech and didn't like that you have to floor it if you want to feel the extra power.

 

Yea, I just sent him a PM and he said he was completing a kit to give him like a week, the week after he sent me a PM and we made the exchange. The a couple weeks later I got in contact with him and got all the misc. gaskets and hoses, it took me a while to get it installed because I needed to fit it in on my days off. The only thing Lookngo might not have is the oil cooler assembly, which I had to buy from a local dealer, he said he wasn't sure when he might receive it and I couldn't wait. No I do not recommend you running a ported blower, stick with the stock blower and pulley, but when I build the motor Im planning on installing a stage 4 ported blower.

 

Without forged internals you are going to be limited to about 8-9 pounds of boost. Doing an Eaton swap for that just doesn't seem logical to me. A Procharger P1SC with supporting mods can be done cheaper and with less headaches, and achieve the same power output as the Eaton.

 

Quoted from Furinox himself, "I had a vortech before this and didn't like how the power came on." Putting him as an example, he was selling his kit for $3K, but still needed fuel upgrades like injectors, pump/BAP or cobra tank setup and a MAFia or aftermarket MAF. Im at around $3500 on mine and have a complete kit and then some, custom shaker brackets, LFP cooling mod, LFP dual pass HX, cobra tank, LMC-1 wideband, boost gauge, SOS pillar. Its just depends what you're into, I still think that the Eaton swap is still the cheapest kit out there, but that just IMO of course, I will agree that putting it together part by part sucks, which is why I bought it as a kit.

 

I've had a centri blower before. A D1SC strapped to a LS1 Z28. It was the best option on that car since that particular engine already had so much low end torque (imo). The stall and gears I had helped even more of course. Looking at how Machs build power, either style supercharger works really well, but the roots is going to have a better curve imo. Like Dark stated, it just depends on what you're into and how you want your car to build power. I love both set-ups and would have a hard time deciding between the two to be honest.

 

Im thinking about the $1500 vortech kit, but its closer to $2k for the mach's, i guess i'll just start collecting for the eaton though, i love low end torque

 

I know you said you are a poor college student but in my honest opinion, I would not rush things, and just save up for a kenne bell. There is nothing wrong with saving for something great!
