x-charger install
 

Going to help a friend install a X-Charger tomorrow! Hes super excited the only v-6 supercharged Mustang around our area! I will take a few pictures of the build, and post em up!

Cheers!

Cool stuff.He must be excited to get this done!

Have fun and good luck

Put some vids up when you are done. I've never seen one in action.

Finished up the install of the x-Charger last night, took a total of 6 hours, taking our time! It was a easy install due to the lack of inter cooler, all went well with great instructions and a well put together kit! Link
After loading the Tune the Mustang instantly roared to life! A much deeper tone and responsive throttle from the v-6 Nice Kit!
Here are a few pictures.

The Pony made 240HP/260Tq at the rear wheels from the results on the heart breaker, the tune was rich and the operator said at least 30 more hp could be had, Hes gonna contact the tuner for a updated tune then back to the treadmill :cheers:

How much more hp can a motor attain with an intercooler?

With this X-Charger one would expect 30-40+hp, but it varies, cooler is better!

Not bad at all!Nice,clean install! :tup

I thought there would be more power.

Last question would be cost for i/c

Remember this mustang is a v-6 and was run on a Dyno Dynamics dyno often called "the heartbreaker" of the dyno world, also the tune is very rich on the upper end....
I will update when the owner retunes! I would expect better numbers then!

I'm not sure of the cost but consider,intercooler, lines, pump, fittings, plumbing and install...your guess is as good as mine.. Maybe 1k???

I was just wondering the cost to the hp gained and is it a worth while mod

Ahhh, i wouldn't supercharge a V-6 just not worth it to me, then again i'm sure there are those who wouldn't bother supercharging a GT....

% wise I would hazard to guess the GT is s/c'ed at a 100-1 rate over the 6. Just a guess though lol

Dang, I just noticed this thread now. Congrats on the install...your buddy is going to love the new found torque. I have installed a couple of these systems now and Dave's instructions as well as his customer service are top notch. Dyno dynamics dynos are called the heartbreaker for a good reason... On DaSilva's Dynojet, I made 301 HP and 314 TQ with the same kit. Is he running the 3" pulley or the 2.8"?
To answer Snakebite's question, The intercooler Kit is $1999. Dave offers it to people who bought their supercharger kit from him for $1500. It is pretty involved, as he had to design a new blower manifold to keep it all under the hood.

Dave's support is indeed top shelf, we made one call to him at his shop, he returned the call promptly within 5 min! Great guy to talk to, really down to earth. I can understand why the v-6 guys take this route it's a great kit!:tup I think he's running the 3" pulley, Hes also waiting on a new 8.8 with 3.55's :)
