Finally pulled trigger on M90!
 

Just pulled the trigger on a Chrome Roush M90 :chacha:
After hearing about the deal on the M90's I checked out a Roush dealer from the States on ebay they had the 07-08 M90 listed for $3395 I called them up and got the same deal for a 05 kit (slightly different parts kit)! I'm pretty happy :wiggle:
I think will be a sweet setup on the GT as I was looking for a "safe" power adder and something I could install myself. Can't wait for delivery...I will update with a build thread I'm sure I will be asking for tips along the way.




Cheers

Very sweet!That's a nice little early Xmas gift for yourself!:tup

Congrats on your purchase. Installing these kits is great fun. I did my kit over a long weekend and firing it up and taking it for a rip for the first time was very rewarding. Be prepared for a perma-grin for a few days once it's done.

Congrats. Does that come with an intercooler. Otherwise it's a very safe system so enjoy as K mentioned

Yes it does! :tup

What are the hp number you are looking for/track time?

Not really sure to be honest, *some say around 350 & 360 rwhp.. I'm just looking for a lot of smiles :wink:

I am sure you will be satisfied

That blower is BADASS. Can't wait to see the build!

Today I did some prep work on the Car.. Removing the Plugs has always been worrisome for me, and getting them out would be a major milestone! I have read about the problems some have had with removing them, the two piece design often seizes in the head due to carbon build up, using modest force cracks them in half resulting in some people getting so mad they set fire to all they hold dear. So I went out, bought some deep creep and 1/4 turned each one waited for 30 mins for the liquid gold to seep down and out they came...I'm pretty Happy :chacha:

Plugs are 2005 originals with 21k on them.

Like they say once you start you are almost done. Good luck.

Awesome.It's amazing how things work out if you just take your time,and have a little patients.:tup

Small update, Spouse went shopping this evening and thought it might be a good time to spend some time with the disassemble,

Removal of fuel rails, Intake manifold.

http://i54.tinypic.com/v789jb.jpg

Removal of coolant lines, water crossover, alternator, and noting the various plugs and sensors.

http://i52.tinypic.com/10yktqv.jpg

Next step 36 of 74 is modding of the alternator and the coolant crossover pipes. Its all going good so far,I'm taking my time, after all it's a long winter :bleh:
I think modding the wiring harness will be the next milestone... I have read it's a real pain in the butt.
Cheers :cheers:

Thats a cleen engine bay you got there! Cant wait to see more progress. Subscribing I am.:tup

Its starting to look naked

....naked and very clean!!!:tup

looking good man,subscribed,the video(s) sound just incredible,drool material!

I decided to tackle the wiring harness during some down time from work, the Maf, ETC and ATC connections are moved in the Harness to a new break out point, re taped and placed back in the harness, wheels removed to gain access to inner wheel well fenders. 6 push pins and 4 10mm and 3 5mm bolts are all that hold the the front bumper cover on. 4 push pins retain the impact absorber to the front bumper beam. I noticed I'm at step 47 of 73, That's it for the major prep work and disassembly, now on to the install!
Next update in the New Year
Happy Holidays :drunk:

What size do gt500's have ie M what?

Sorry ??? Do you mean what size supercharger?

Wow!!Your moving along!!!:tup
Befor you know it,it will all be done!!

GT500's run an M112

Wow... learn something new every day. I thought Cobras were M112s, and the GT500 was an M122...

Roddy, you are correct it is an m122 that is used on the GT500.
Thanks for correcting that error. I knew better....too much happy juice when I typed that I think.lol

In case anyone wonders the differences, the number after the m is the amount of air the blower displaces in cubic inches.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Well I spent a couple hours today at the build!

Next milestone will be the wiring, and cold air intake

The first time you stand on the loud pedal, you're gonna giggle like a little kid... I know I did.

That is looking hot!!!!:tup

Just a small update with a few pictures..Today I spent some quality time with the Mustang :tup

Tidied up the wiring, and vacuum hoses.
http://i56.tinypic.com/23t4084.jpg

http://i51.tinypic.com/i23u4z.jpg

Tomorrow I will Fedex the PCM to Roush and wait for it's return with the new Spark Plugs :bleh: Anyone want to guess on the return date? I'm thinking Feb 3rd, The return box states overnight delivery in the U.S :rolleyes:

So far I have to say it's a very good straight forward build, instructions are very well planned with every part clearly labeled right down to the bolts! Most valuable tool has to be the hose clamp pliers..Worth there weight in gold 2thumbs:

Looks like its almost done

Yup, This build was suppose to be a spaced out get me through winter project..lol It's nearing it's end now I fear winter will get the best of me :suicide: On a side note I noticed with the added weight I have to get a lower profile jack it seems the new lowering springs have settled nicely :tup I will post up a pic when I install the bumper :tup

Small update,
I installed the Front Bumper and Inner fenders,Rad Cover, Refilled the fluids and added supercharger Juice :LOL:

http://i56.tinypic.com/16c2peu.jpg

Installed battery,and modified Air Box

Spouse is happy car is sitting on it's on shoes with a front bumper:rolleyes: I showed her a few clips on Youtube of a mustang with the Roshcharger going through the gears! With a furrowed brow, she said it sounded like cats whining, I mentioned in that video the windows were down and you wouldn't hear that sound inside :wink:
Here is the car as it sits before and after, I think it has a lower stance now..

^^^x2. I have the same problem with jacks, we usually grab and fender and all is good

That is awesome!Your GT as a whole package is sweet looking!:tup

End Of Build Day!
Received the PCM and spark plugs from Roush this morning so today was the First start up day, kinda bittersweet because I was excited to fire her up but kinda sad this project is finished and now the long wait to spring so I can finally take her for a good run.:boohoo:
I installed the PCM, Spark Plugs and CAI and did the final check on hoses and wire routing.

Crossed my fingers and turned the key, The Mustang sprang to life and mellowed out to a nice burble...Sounds good with a very responsive throttle! Brought it up to operating temp and checked the coolant, no leaks, strange smells and No Codes, seems all good!
Cheers guys :cheers: Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures and details of this build :tup

Very nice!

Sick!! I miss boost :(
