Hi,

Fair play for taking on the eaton kit challenge - very interested.

Never had a chance to scout round a PSD kit so unsure of how it works, Would the outlet from the charger be in the same place as a G lader? i.e could I still use my PSD front mount kit?

Also, would it essentially be compatible with the PSD toothed belt kits? By that I mean could I keep the crank and alternator pulleys and use your (hopefully interchangable) charger pulley? Would it require some kind of belt tensioner?

Last but not least, I'm trying to weigh up the pro's/cons of going eaton over a K03 turbo setup and was wondering what's swung it in favour of the eaton for you? Noise? Power delivery?

Cheers mate - good luck with the project.

Varley.

Should work fine in conjunction with the psd front mount And yep it will work fine with the psd toothed crank and alternator pulleys, you won't need any extra belt tensioner as the psd eaton kit incorparates a belt tensioner and a micro tensioner to stop belt bounce.

As for pro's and cons, the eaton is a sealed unit with a life expectancy of well over 100k miles, the power delivery is nice and linear and yep they can be very noisy but they can also be silenced.

Reason i chose  eaton is i wanted a charger that im not going to have to be worrying about it blowing up and i didn't want to have more oil lines cluttering up the engine bay.

Here's some rolling roads graphs, one of an slightly tuned eaton G40 and one of a Tuned G40.

Here's the spec's of lreg's old eaton setup


induction> Large induction K&N cone air filter, port matched GT inlet manifold, 51mm throttle body.
Type of forced induction> Eaton
Intercooler> AW tracksport
Pulley> Toothed pulley kit
Cylindor head> Standard
Camshaft> Standard
Exhaust Manifold> Standard
Exhaust system> Stock decat downpipe and 63mm bastuck system, single silencer
Fuelling> Stock ECU, green injectors and a PSD remap with an sns stage V base code
Headgasket> Standard
Pistons> Standard cast 1272cc
Rods> standard
Crank> Standard
Flywheel> Lightened

189bhp and 162lb/ft of torque which was not bad considering the amount of standard parts still on the car




And here's the spec of a g40 engine:

nduction> Jetex cone filter, Jabba cold air box, dewedged TB, standard intercooler + chargecooler, GT inlet manifold
Type of forced induction> G40 R1
Pulley> 65mm toothies
Cylindor head> Standard
Camshaft> standard
Exhaust Manifold> 4 branch PSD
Exhaust system> 63mm bastuck, twin silencer
Fuelling> PSD chip not a custom map, standard injectors
Headgasket> Standard
Pistons> Standard cast 1272cc
Rods> standard
Crank> Standard
Flywheel> Standard

Yep, I'm pretty much sold mate.

Will be an absolute monster when hooked up to my 1.5!

Keep me posted on progress and have a good Christmas.

Cheers,

Varley.

That set-up sounds familiar!

Would be interesting to see an AF plot of the G40 run. You can see the injectors going static by the dip in the curves around 5K. Thing is, does the power tail off due to wrong AF or flow of the head.......

My kit will be the same as the psd kit except i will also include the appropriate toothed pulleys for the crank and alternator.
And nope the price won't include a eaton charger although i don't mind sourcing one for you if needs be, although they're easy enough to pick up on ebay.

[sohailG40]

yeh i have a eaton charger im just waiting on kit keep me updated 

[juan]

Little update, just doing some revised Auto Cad drawings of the plate at the moment
