Trilogy already offers a 2.3L For the marauder, so buy that and slap some vortech stickers on it :D

Just eyeballing it, looks like there might be back-end clearance problems with the wipers.

I agree that if there wasn't already an option for both a roots or twin screw available as a complete kit then it might be a good idea. sounds like a pain the butt to try to put it together on your own.

It's the same blower as in the Trilogy Twin Screw kit, only it's the bigger 3.3L version.

The Trilogy kit has the 2.3L version. They are both manufactured by Lysholm.

If I remove my wipers, I could upgrade to that, wonder what the performance difference would be.

You will probably only loose some driveability and boost pressure on lower rpm's by putting on a bigger blower.

From what I understand, at max boost (over 20psi) the 2.3L is good for up to 600rwhp.
Only if you want to take it up to 750rwhp then you need the 3.3L

They said in the video its a 2.3L or a 3.3L

I guess that means trilogy could release a 3.3L if they wanted

Not if you have a good motor...


Stock cobra motors can handle a 3.4L whipple just fine

you got it I have done some homework on this and yes manufactured by lysholm looks to be a good set up! But like others have stated it looks like alot of clearance issues on a Marauder would come up from the pics I have seen it looks like it sits higher than Trilogys but I could be wrong as I have only seen pics not demmsions and it was installed on a Cobra?

Won't disagree with that...CI block and forged crank.

If you put a 3.4L ontop of a stock marauder motor and ran low boost im sure it'd be fine as well :)

Just.... Dont go near 13.5psi on a cold day, or you'll be driving home with the new marauder meow diesel conversion...
