The the Eaton type chargers deliver the boost in a different manor to the G-Lader, that is to say that they are good/better at higher RPM's, due to the fact that they rely on fast moving of a small volume, aposed to the G-lader which shifts a larger volume a little slower, in which case your ECU MAP and Std G40 Cam woundn't get the best out of it. Another thing to consider is that because they compress the air in twin helix screw type arrangement, they produce more heat, in which case you need to look at fitting a larger intercooler(or chargercooler or even water injection system).
To answer your question, yes, it'll work, but but it won't be efficient without other work being done and could result in your engine running lean on top end(which will kill your internals). So no then ???

i have a front mount on the car but i just have bourght a bigger front mount. I was gonna put some water injectors on it but dont no were i can put the washer bolttle. some one esle said to me to change the injector and get a remap do you think i should do that?
-
REMAP is a definate I'd say, even with proven know mods its differcult to get the best out of any set-up with an of the shelf MAP, so keep it in mind for your budget.
-
were would u recomend me putting the water bottel for the intercooler sprayer
-
and aslo do u no a good place were i can buy a fitting kit for the eaton
-
I don't think there's anywhere you can buy eaton fitting kits anymore. AWTracksport used to do them but I'm not sure they still do, plus the strength of them was questionable. But it might be your only option if yo ucan't either make something yourself or pay an engineer some money to design and make it.
-
thanks i will try aw tracsport and see if they do it any way wot kind of g40 do u have
???

mine has a full blend g40 g-lader at the moment. Converting it to use a k03 turbo over winter though, have been gathering parts for this for a while.
-
I should be getting a PSD eaton kit very shortly so i could take measurements of the brackets to hold the charger should anyone need some decent measurements.
-
yeh that would be helpful thanks
-
yeh i have a full blend g lader at the moment on it but i want high horse power thats y i went to the eaton how cum your getting rid of the supercharger.
-
got a pic of the bracket but no measurements! If you want it, PM me your email and i'll send it across.

how cum your getting rid of the supercharger.
several reasons really. One is that the scroll in my charger is a bit worn and ideally needs replacing when the next service is due. Second reason is that I use the car for track days which involve sustained periods of high revs and a hell of a lot of ragging (way more than a road car gets no matter how much of an "angry" driver you are) and I fear for the life of the charger, not to mention it's too expensive to fix if it goes pop. K03 turbos are cheap and easy to get hold of either new or second hand. Lastly, to make more boost! Can see 20psi with big valve ported head etc... using a k03, wont get that with a 40mm g-lader.

;D sounds very gd m8
i bet you cant wait to get it on there and get on the track
yeh good luck with it and hopfuly evrthing gose well
p/s once you have done it can u send me some pics i would b very interested to see how it looks and gose
thanks
