EASTERISLAND, update on your duel s/c setup

I have an old video of yours were you had a centrifigal supercharger installed along with your EATON supercharger.
What the update?

In the video you had it running

I think (and I say Think) like Sal's Pro Charger Set Up,
some of our Brothers Projects "you may have saw",
may still have an Eaton, but it's not being used
as a Supercharger, in Sals Case even the Upper IS NOT being used.

Example



The Eaton and Upper Manifold only serve the purpose of mounting all the nessecary components on. They could be taken off if you built a complete custom upper.

The Eaton has no Rotor's or Nose, Sal made a custom adt to mount the T/B on. The uppers there basically just to hook up the orig OEM equipment on.

I've now seen Sal's project twice up front and personal,
This is simply amazing, true cutting edge.......




Now RDY2RAC here, took a diff approach,
he has a beautiful Custom Upper

...if we weren't having a baby in the next month we would be further along on our project as well.....

i cant wait til i get a built block into my truck.
I believe this is the Vid you talk about HERE

nope, it is neither of those.

It was a centrifigul superchager, running up to the stock intake, and then through the Eaton supercharger.
the Eaton still had a belt on it and it was running.

He revved it a few times and that was it.

it was titled novi 2000...


I'm familiar with Sals and Rob's setup, this is a diffreent one by easter island

Sounds like the old TopGun38 project. Try a search under that.

Last I had heard about Easter's set-up he was running the Novi 2000 through the Eaton but the Eaton had no guts. I could be wrong but I thought thats how Rob descibed it to me.

maybe that was it, but the eaton had a belt on the s/c snout.
maybe it had the rotors removed

I've been too busy working on my mustang to really look at the Lightning much.

Anyway, I did gut the Eaton, and run the novi 2000 through it with the pulley spinning to look like the eaton was spinning. The main problem was the tune. I think it was mainly due to the BOV being right before the blow through maf. I switched to a draw through setup and haven't had much time to do anything. I think I may have just broke a couple of rings... That is all for now. No one to blame but me now. Me and my mad tuning skilz yo!

Easter, get your L fixed and come up to Ky and help me beat this guy I work for who thinks his modded(3.73 gears and short throw shifter) 02 Mustang GT is the shiz nit. He thinks he can beat my L. He will think twice after racing you.





BTW, how is the weather down there in Chile.

If he wants some the mustang will hopefully be done at the end of the month. 1991 lx coupe, T76 turbo kit...should scoot along pretty good.


I've gave up pretty much on breaking the speed limits though. They are really cutting down on speeders around here and I've seen a few people lose their licenses for street racing. Since I need to drive 140 miles a day I can't have that.
