Got Blown Sunday! - Xcharger #020

[JimC]

Haven't been to the dyno yet to get some baseline numbers. But the car pulls hard down low, and the Xcharger has a nice scream to it under boost

Got some pictures uploaded today:

Tear down went fairly quick:

Parts bench collecting some parts coming off the car

The supercharged parts table

And the finished product:

We had a web cam set up so the guys over at http://www.mustangcollective.com could watch the install progress. At the end of the day it fired right up on the first try. We then grabbed the laptop and camera (because the wireless network would follow us outside) and did a test drive while broadcasting. So those watching the installation got to go on the first ride as well.

Nice!! Did they ever come out with an intercooler for the X-charger. I couldv'e swore I remember reading about someone who had theirs intercooled, but not sure if maybe it was a custom job.

no intercooler yet. acording to inside sources the intercooler is in its final stages of r&d and should be out soon. the new intercooled lower manifold will also accept a tvs blower too. should make some things interesting.

nice jim, i know its nice to have power at the tap of your foot instead of flip of a switch.

whoa!!!! That's pretty bad ass!!!! I've never heard of a TVS on a v6 before!! Actually, I found a video a while back of a custom job of a roushcharger on a v6. now all the cool things for 4.0s come out when I'm getting rid of mine.. lol. well, out of this car at least.

Cool stuff. Boost FTW!

 

[JimC]

It has been a lot of fun to drive - looks like at WOT I'm getting a little more than 10lbs of boost perhaps 11 or 12, but it is hard to tell because the gauge I bought doesn't display in small enough increments I decided so I'm getting a different gauge. Moderate acceleration looks to be 5lbs.

I had the chance to run at the track, but could not hook up for anything and best I could get was a 13.9 while on a 75 shot of nitrous I managed a 13.6 so I know this has more in it. Boost comes on so early compared to the nitrous I was running that I was pushing through the staging beams. Track wasn't well prepped either and everyone was spinning like mad at launch that day.
