Cobb supercharger for the Eclipse GT - Page 2

tjh · April 9th, 2008, 06:31 PM

TJ,

We are currently investigating engine management solutions to be able to safely run the car. Most of the hardware and plumbing is already install, we just need the software to be able to run it. I still am not sure if any of that stuff will make it to production. Currently, it is just a one-off project for Nukabe/Cusco. Keep an eye on our blogs for further updates.

Well it went from.... "sorry were not going to make it" to... "Well we're testing it and it is not a def no that it won't come out"....

I like the change of words.

Maybe i'm just bein a noob

BTW the article said this setup is good for 400HP at the crank but RIPP is getting 430 at the wheels which brings me to the question does water meth injection and the black box tune really make that much of a difference or am i missing something here too?

The cobb setup is good for 400 UNTUNED.If ripp gets 430 tuned then cobb will get much more then that or at the very least the same when its tuned.Also with the intercooler,oil cooler, intake set up etc the cobb set up is much better, will run cooler,and be capable of higher more efficient and reilabe horse power then the ripp setup.

only way we can really tell is when it actually comes out they said they arent sure wat all is actually goin to make it to production and they dont have the software i guess when its all said and done only way to actually see is once the car is ready and dyno'd

i think s/c are not like I/H/E which you can leave UNTUNED as you say it is... bet the set up is 400 with tune or the blower itself is rated @ 400HP+ besides its to early to say and i would leave it at that for now... COBB will just do their thing and we'll see the numbers later.. peace...

eclipserlover · April 19th, 2008, 11:02 AM

but wats the hp and torque on dis supercharger

michow · May 27th, 2008, 12:22 AM

any updates? i e-mailed them just yesterday. hopefully more of the community will continue to e-mail COBB because this supercharger looks way legit. HARASS THEM MY FELLOW 4G BRETHREN

executive · May 28th, 2008, 02:23 AM

Theres no way to prove that this would give better results than Ripp's kit. Its alot of things that NEED to be worked out with this car still. Like internals, though I've yet to hear about where are breaking points are, and injectors, and that damn speed limiter. I mean this car is fwd, I would like to go to a track for more than just 1/4mile runs. Right now even if your 4g has 300whp a good driver in a stock RX8 would prabably best you on a course.

4g69addict · May 28th, 2008, 05:07 AM

what about us 4cylinder guys... anything for us or are w stuck RIPP, and RRE(whenever the hell that turbo kit comes out)

darb454 · May 28th, 2008, 09:12 AM

dont think they are refering to better results. we are looking for more reliability from a more reputable company and has a better set up u can see in the pics.

You're probably stuck. Cobb is hesitant enough considering a kit for the GT and I think they're one of those operations that typically stick to the top trim/top engine of most models.

darb454 · May 28th, 2008, 09:41 AM

its worth a shot you never know, i asked them if they would even consider limited production for the few people that want them

It doesn't really come down to demand. They also have to supply support, re
