2015-2017 Mustang GT Roush Supercharger Kit Phase 1 670HP 5.0L Installation

[@MrFatty239]

I just installed the Roush phase 2 and Bill made this possible and gave me the confidence to do it. It took me 15 hours. If I can help anyone, let me know. Thanks Bill for the videos.

[@demolaj1]

+Chris F do you love it ?

[@MrFatty239]

I love everything except the roush tune. It pretty much sucks. If you get on it, it sets off the max torque limiter and puts the car in limp mode so its barley drivable until you shut it down a restart it. So you have to get a different tune. I barley went 60 mph and less than 5000 rpm when this happened.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Is your car a manual? sounds like the clutch protection mode might be kicking in although that should go off once you shift gears. The early tune had an issue with limp mode but that was when the kit was new and was fixed quickly by Roush.

[@MrFatty239]

It is a manual. Doesn't go off when switching gears. its giving me code P061B. got my tune in march...is that the early tune? Another problem is I cant get a hold of Roush, by phone, email, live chat, to ask them! Any help Bill is appreciated!

[@Zerogivengarage]

Did you get the kit from us? email me either way and I can help. bill at cjponyparts dot com

[@OscarMartinez-gn8sv]

I have a mustang gt with a roush phase 1. This video makes me appreciate the engine a whole lot more knowing it takes a lot of hard work and proper installation.

[@PardenBoyz]

The most detailed video installation ever. Great job

[@filippebarros]

I don't even own a mustang myself, but this video is so good and so satisfying to watch that I actually sat through the entire duration of the video! Thanks +CJ Pony Parts for providing a video with such good quality, clarity, various camera angles and a chill yet badass background music hahaha. Your Mustang is sick and congratulations on the new acquirement. Hopefully soon enough I'll have the money to buy my own stang, hopefully my so dreamed 2013 Boss 302 and I'll begin installing my own mods ( not that many though).

[@bernercalito8422]

Filippe Barros not in a bad way the music is like those porn background music. The video is very well explained. Thanks Cj Pony

[@mikesmith4337]

Same here, and now I want one! Nice job on the filming.

[@QuesoTornado]

I helped a buddy with his supercharger install on his 2015 GT, he is a very organized person so he had plastic containers labeled where each set of screws came from... He ran out so he had to throw out some of his leftovers in the fridge 😂😂😂

[@erickarteaga9111]

man im 16 here watching this video trying to learn about engines, upgrades, and certain components that can be useful. im so confused on whats what but your step by step tutorial here is extreeeeeemly helpful. im glad i came across this

[@ReeceRamsey]

You guys have the best install videos

[@Zerogivengarage]

Thank you very much!

[@jastanger]

Bill Tumas I agree. They are the most thorough and practical I've seen, done by someone who is clearly an experienced and talented tech, as opposed to some goofball Hollywood type (AmercianMuscle). My only critique, (most people won't care, but sound for film is something I studied) is the music always playing in the background. It's a bit distracting and can be tiresome. Great job, though! I still don't know if I'll try this job myself on my new GT, though!! I'm worried I'll hurt her, and I really just think a pro will do a better, cleaner job.

[@Zerogivengarage]

jastanger Thank You for the compliment. The sound is something my videographer/editor is regularly conflicted about. We have done a few videos without the sound and we both feel they seem longer without it.

[@jastanger]

Yea. I can see that it's not an easy decision, as I don't know what I would do, either. In any case, thanks for the great videos.

[@enzozenuni]

Bill, I used to have a Dodge Challenger, after watching your videos and thoughts on the mustang is what made me switch and trade my challenger in for a 2016 GT PP. So far I've redone the entire suspension system. Just debating to either go all motor or go with a blower! Thanks again for all your great video content and information! I look forward to more content!!

[@branthyatt9982]

I own a 16 as well 🎉

[@Nike2141]

AMAZING install video man! You guys make such detailed install videos it makes it look doable for anyone with some knowledge. Cant wait to install this on the 2016! Kudos guys!

[@Knards]

I would sure feel better with Bill installing my Supercharger than letting my local dealership do it

[@spaceemperorkarl121]

The only time a dealership saw my car was when I drove off the lot with it.

[@sbiegs3885]

Local won't install it anyway.

[@doriansimmons6913]

I ask Bill, if they do work for the public he said no. I wish he did. Not to many you can trust to do this type of job.

[@brettfrimmer6567]

It’s a bolt on supercharger it’s not rocket science. Nearly every ford dealer in the country has in most cases multiple technicians qualified to do this job. The ford dealer I work at has 3. One guy has done 30 of them now.

fantastic install nothing left to wonder about except i did not hear u mention to install the coil covers, but thats what the instructions are for but for a guideline on what to do Ford needss to ship u r video with each of these install kits it is that concise i have a gt500 but i still enjoyed the video

[@Zerogivengarage]

+perry lewis Thanks for the compliment. We do leave some very basic stuff out occasionally to keep the length of the videos down.

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Whilst you're videos are all superb I am always amazed at how clean your vehicles are underneath and in the engine bay, how the hell do you keep a daily that clean?

[@SgtMoran]

Hey Bill. Just got done about 2 hours ago with my install. Thanks so much for the video. Say what you want but... That was a huge pain in the ass!! Who designed those hose clamps? This video was really helpful to use along with the instructions. I just hope everything works!

[@Zerogivengarage]

Congrats on the install!! Yes I agree on some of the clamps and fitment but nothing we haven't seen before lol

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

Those clamps would barely go on the hoses for everything that they’re required for but they will go on

[@xicelinkx]

Awesome video Hauss. I'll be looking at a mustang tomorrow. I was wondering something though. Do you need to upgrade internals for this supercharger or is it safe for the engine as is? Will it cause premature wear and tear just driving it normally? Does anything else need to be upgraded or is it just this kit and done? What a great mod. Instant beast. Props on your skills. Love the exhaust videos too. Keep up the good work.

[@Abb0nz1]

Just about to pull the trigger for my 2017, great video! I notice you reran the belt past the idler... I thought it was incorrect. maybe you should have mentioned that.

[@prmcollin]

A true professional, this is amazing

[@RobertKohut]

Since this is a repost I guess I'll repost my comment from the original, the best I can remember. Firstly glad to see you caught the blower belt on the wrong side of the upper idler pulley....LOL. Also it must be major surgery to replace the blower belt when required since it looks like the bracket would need to be removed. Secondly I don't like the Roush requirement for the ECU to be sent to them for re-flash. The first reason is the stock tune is now unavailable to the end user which may cause some complications for returning the car to stock or purchasing a handheld tuner. I'm not sure, but I think a handheld needs to "marry" with the car using the stock Ford strategy. Second reason is if the end user wants to change gear ratios or tire sizes not having a handheld for user adjustable configurations makes the changes not very practical in the sense of speedometer calibration etc. The Ford Racing Whipple kit and others I believe provide for a handheld for the re-flash providing the end user the optimum in customization options for future upgrades. A great kit though and seems like a weekend with pizza and beer would be a reasonable estimate for installation. Also not sure, but it seems like Roush is still tuning "rich", for safety, since it appears a lot of black smoke is coming out the tail pipes. Thanks for the great video install and your '15 Mustang is making my '13 look bad...LOL...LOL

[@outcastgsx1]

Great video! Love the detail and quality.

[@victoroliveira3256]

Wait I'm sure I've seen this already, I'm checking the video library and I can't find the original post, this isn't cause of the minor mistake you made by installing the belt over the driveline pulley is it.....haha I noticed anyway I said it before and I'll say it again "man I love being a turtle"...... Wait no that's not it.......great video the most detailed install on KZbin great job.

Just to warn you guys the way he originally mounted the S/C belt is wrong it was something he corrected and failed to mention in the video, for those of you wondering why your belt is either not fitting or rubbing on the lower part of the head

[@sgtred1golf]

Hey Bill. Love the video. I'm leaning towards the roush simply to not void the warranty. Is it mandatory to send the cpu in to keep the warranty? Kinda sucks you lose all factory settings.

[@scottybear6265]

Hello my ford friend how about the guys out here that have trucks that they are building with five liter’s coyotes, I’ve been building on my 150 for two years now and plan to put a Roush supper charger but decided to also refresh the motor with rods and bearings . I will be looking for the next episode on install for a f150, this is very educational thank you CJ pony for the lesson. Sincerely ,Scott

[@nathanargon8610]

The stock tower strut gets removed, so what will go in it's place once the supercharger is installed? What company sells one that will fit with the supercharger?

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

You don’t need a strut tower brace or anything like that. I felt no difference at all with my car which is a 2016 The suspension is fine no weird noises or anything

[@joeymottz6262]

Just want to thank them for telling the viewers that he had the belt routed wrong!🤣 And fixed it at the end of the video.

[@now534]

Great install! Only thing i really noticed near the end was filling with green fluid when there was still orange coolant in the motor. Did this get flushed later down the road?

[@djstringsmusic2994]

I love how you effectively have to mess up the stability of the car and handling just for more horse power. I'd take those braces and a better handling car, than fast in a straight line. Great video though!

[@MikeGossett]

This is exactly my thought and why I haven't added a supercharger to my 17. I'd rather have the stability and rigidity of full K members and the cross brace.

[@TheFlyperry]

bill thanks for the response wasnt expecting one as i said you do a fantastic job of presentation i say that with some experience as i am now retired from gm as a ase master and L1 for 12 years or when the L1 was first offered emissions master and on and on i have my self love working on cars and teaching automotive for 5yrs so when i say you do a great job i have a pretty idea of what a good instruction presentation is you have it any way ive watched other project you completed i was wondering what horse power and torque that blower car project produced and if u ran it thorough the 1/4

[@cjponyparts]

+perry lewis Thanks for the compliments. We have another video with dyno pulls but it made 555/487 to the wheels on the 627 HP tune. Roush just came out with a free upgrade for the kit to bump it to 670 HP. I will be getting the car out to the track early next month with a decent tire on it to see what it can do.

[@jodstasic]

Hey there, Bill! Since your GT has the perf pack, what happens to the vacuum gauge? Would be nice if an oem style vacuum/boost gauge direct replacement, a la ecoboost, comes up in your store. Cheers! Amazing installation video by the way, must have taken a hell of a lot of work.

[@Zerogivengarage]

I am trying to get my hands on the PP Ecoboost boost gauge which is the same size but crazy expensive through Ford

Hi Bill, just added the phase 1 on my 16 GT. Should I be considering changing the oil pump gears??? I assume if Ford is willing to keep the warranty with this supercharger and not have to change the gears is because it must be safe?? Or am I assuming wrong?

hey bill im looking into a supercharger in the spring. i was looking into getting the same one as yours. I was wondering how its holding up and i just want to know how it feels over stock. also i have the blowfish manual support bracket on and it feels amazing. i know you have it on yours as well and i was wondering if your center console where the cup holders are ever gets warm. hope to hear back from you :) thx

[@cjponyparts]

+andrew pulcini My supercharger has been great! I have around 9000 miles on it now, I installed the blower around 750. I have had zero problems except for a slight overheating issue hot lapping the car on a road course when it was 102 degrees out which was my own fault. Roush recently came out with a free upgrade to take the kit from 627 to 670 hp for no charge. I don't recall having any additional heat in my cup holder area.

[@andrewpulcini6571]

+CJ Pony Parts sweet :) can't wait to have it installed in the spring :) also did you decide to purchase the additional warranties that roush offers? and if so how much more do they charge for it? thx again :)

[@chad3801]

+andrew pulcini, If you're serious about putting a supercharger on it i'd say take a look at the whipple supercharger. I've installed both a whipple and a roush supercharger on 2015 mustangs. The whipple does not require Griding and modifying your timing cover or valley to fit the belt routing and the inter cooler. Also having put both on the dynojet dyno the whipple's tune is a better tune, although i reccommend getting a custom dyno tune in your area. The whipple also makes more power and has lower IAT's. That said I'm a turbo guy but if i was going to to a supercharger i'd go with a whipple, i've installed lots of them and never had one fail. Good luck in your decision i hope this helps im not here to confuse you haha! If you have a question, feel free to ask!

[@andrewpulcini6571]

Well... that's good to know . Thanks for the advice :)

Hey Bill. Thanks for the great video it helped greatly when I installed my sc. I noticed you did not use Ford red coolant. Is that okay to use what you did?

for this kit do they just warranty the kit parts? or ford still warranty the entire car? to how many miles? also price for installation if authorized dealer do the installation?

[@Heavenist95]

I have a 2017 mustang GT 6 speed automatic. Do you have to build the auto tranny to match the power output? How much power is the auto tranny rated to withstand? 600whp is a lot. Hate to blow my trans. Also if the transmission is capable of hold 600 hp is this a reliable build? Can I still use my car daily maybe beat on it once in awhile? Will it hold up

[@getsomebraincells]

Jacob Johnson it is a 6R80 transmission meaning 6 speed rear wheel drive and 800 ftlbs of torque that it is rated for, they can hold more than that though. So you’ll be fine.

+Ali Bazzi We don't have any plans at this time.

[@demolaj1]

+Bill Tumas can the strut bar be reinstalled at all ?

[@AlexHaidarXO]

+Jay D I won't fit. I think it might fit if you welded it or something to clear the supercharger. I know a lot of people are going procharger and turbo on the s550 so they aren't having this issue.

[@demolaj1]

what if you added a bunch of washers to raise it ? or Is the issue the hood?

[@AlexHaidarXO]

+Jay D I think if you added washers it might defeat the purpose of the sway bar because the washers will probably flex. if you took it to a shop and had it welded at a higher angle to where it cleared to supercharger it should work and still stiffen the chassis.

[@LuigiChincochento]

Great video providing a much needed visual for this install!!! A couple of iffy parts, but I'm sure someone with half a brain can figure them out. My concern on this Roush install is cutting that 'K' Brace. There is a reason for that 'K' Brace and I'm not only looking for straight line speed and acceleration, but also front suspension stability while executing a slalom/road course. Not to mention, it looks so ghetto when you re-install that 'K' Brace even though it has been painted. Really, the only unprofessional mod of this whole install! Questions: 1. Is there another option such as a modified 'K' Brace? Does Whipple require this modification to the 'K' Brace as well? 2. Will Roush come out with a tune for an automatic GT? Seems kind of strange that they don't have one yet.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Luigi Chincochento The K brace just adds additional support, several models do not even come with it. These modern chassis are so strong they really don't need it, I saw zero drivability changes without it. I went with a Steeda G force lower brace to tie things together up front. Whippled keeps the K brace but also gets rid of the strut tower brace. Roush said the tune is coming soon.

[@evanmeyreles8658]

i have a 2014 gt, and i can't find a pdf from roush or any reputable guys on youtube like yourself. how similar would you say the instal on your 2015 gt is to the 2014?

It is similar, there are some changes though but if you watch this video and follow the Roush instructions you should be fine.

You stated that the strut brace would not be reused. I've got a 2013 gt that I've been wanting to do this upgrade to. I was wondering if it's possible to use the brace in conjunction with the supercharger? Since you removed it, have you noticed any handling differences?

[@Zerogivengarage]

I have not noticed any difference at all. I don't know of any braces that will clear the hood and the supercharger.

[@WTFShelley]

theres one part in this video where the supercharger belt is fed the wrong way around the idler pulley, they fixed it at the end

[@iceagerevenge]

Bill quick question, lets say I also went with this Supercharger and later decide to add some headers, would I have to resend the computer to Roush to have them do some sort of tune or is it not necessary?

[@Zerogivengarage]

+iceagerevenge Plenty of people have added headers with the Stage 1 and been fine with the supplied tune. That being said Roush does not offer a tune for headers and I would suggest getting a custom tune if you do add them.

[@iceagerevenge]

+Bill Tumas Thanks! How important would it be to upgrade the clutch after supercharging it? I hear many clutches start slipping cause of it

[@Zerogivengarage]

+iceagerevenge I plan on an upgraded clutch in the future but I have 9500 miles on it how and no issues.

CJ Pony Parts lower intake fuel charging assy, can you remove lower intake intercooler for a better one or is it made into lower intake

[@cjponyparts]

You can add different heat exchangers but there is no lower intercooler upgrade I am aware of.

Great video Bill, I can't find your dyno video...

#YDBT Representing Bill !!!! Love your videos man !!!

[@Austinflank]

What are we looking at time-wise for this? Trying to accurately quote this installation. Actual labor hours roughly?

[@Zerogivengarage]

+Warhawker 8-10 for a qualified tech, 12-15 for a home mechanic.

[@Austinflank]

+Bill Tumas Thank you

[@Eddie2425]

Looks like a big oval TB would be a better fit. I bet that’d pick up some good power!

[@SgtMoran]

Any chance you got a boost gauge yet? Just looking for options. Thanks for the reply

[@Zerogivengarage]

I am a little pissed at Ford about the whole boost gauge thing. If you get a non performance pack car you have a factory BOOST and Vacuum gauge in the cluster. If you get a PP they give you a Vacuum gauge on the dash, but no boost. I really want a factory style gauge so I have been researching getting the factory one to work in the cluster somehow or the dash gauge from the performance pack Ecoboost. The EB gauge is $1300 though since you have to buy the whole panel.
