Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / June 2005Supercharging the new 3V 4.6
Anyone have any real world experience supercharging this engine? There seem to be a couple of kits available and I was interested in getting some feedback about performance/quality of the various units. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Chris why not spend the money on a v8 instead? > Anyone have any real world experience supercharging this engine?

The modular "V8" that's been used in the Mustang for damn near 10 years maybe? Stick with selling Jeeps and asking questions as you obviously don't know anything about Mustangs, well at least enough to ANSWER any questions about Mustangs.  SignatureScott W.

Also think in the June or July issue as well. Martin 2002GT5spd 243 rwhp 285rwtq > >> Anyone have any real world experience supercharging this engine?

I do know about the mod motors as well :) In fact If you are MR KNOW IT ALL on mod motors I need a little help! My friend added twin turbos to an 05 saleen. no internal motorwork done aftermarket....after 10 minutes of driving it goes into fail safe... he has burned nearly 20 chips... then changed the mass air & nothing ..it still fail safes... it is quick but only about 70% due to the failsafe... do you have any answers on how to manipulate the cpu? > I do know about the mod motors as well :) In fact If you are MR KNOW IT ALL > on mod motors I need a little help!

As far as the ECU is concerned forced induction is forced induction. I would get a computer or chip from Whipple, Vortex, or PAxton and try that. If that fails, it's time for a new programmable computer. There are some very nice replacements available on the aftermarket. Or take it here http://www.dallasturbo.com/ and let them tune it.

Yea, take it to a SCT Dealer and have it correctly tuned =) -- Stephan 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 > I do know about the mod motors as well :) In fact If you are MR KNOW IT > ALL > on mod motors I need a little help!

I've seen your previous posts about this issue. I don't own any vehicles that has a 'puter and I don't have forced induction on any of them, though I've owned a few turbo Saab 900's. I don't know your friends problem or I would help. I've only owned one vehicle with a 4.6 in it and that was a Cougar XR-7 and it was NA. All I CAN say is I'd talk to the company that created the kit. They should have heard by now if there was an issue with the EEC and their kit. They should either support their kit or stop making it. If your friend doesn't get it figured out, I'd just return the kit and demand repayment, especially if the kitmaker can't figure it out. Personally I'd run a Lysholm-style twin screw SC instead of Turbo since they've been done numerous times (including the factory) on the mod motors and with proven reliability. SignatureScott W.

I guarantee it will make your Mustang a pavement ripping torque monster. ;) > Anyone have any real world experience supercharging this engine?

Coarse I'm biased towards ATI, but both are great. SignatureTropic Green Y2k GT Coupe http://tinyurl.com/avta4
