Fox Body Mustang Supercharger Install/Dyno - Vortech V3 | Full Series Video

[@latemodelrestoration]

If you had the choice, what would you choose - Supercharger Or Turbo? Check out our Fox Body Turbo Install - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrRYYmngdeFb9U

[@horseracing5.059]

Probably a supercharger like what I am going to do to the sn95 on my channel

[@toms.5729]

Turbo. More complex but greater area under the curve. Also, no hp loss from the supercharger.

[@brentsimons3991]

Turbo. There is no adjusting the belt all the time. Lol.

[@dodgecummin24v]

I have the v3sci i bought from you guys a few years ago. Been working great!

[@chadkinsler9865]

Supercharger, had the same kit on my 88vert with heads, cam and intake

[@kennyallison7201]

I like that u actually took the time to find out and tell us what the problem was instead of making it look like everything was gravy! Much more like real life!

[@jazzroman7454]

Wow, finally a real mechanic fixing real sh*t!! I've been there I'm sure we'll have. To the point where you 🤔 actually start questioning "science". Good on you bro. All these utube experts never seem to have any issues, ever.

[@trailerparkpimpn4709]

Great Video, I for one truly appreciate the honesty!!!

[@matt6951]

Glad you did it right, the fmu and in-line pump are a band aid at best.

[@matstang1993]

Keep up the cool videos. Y'all have helped a lot of people with this free information. Thanks for helping out the shade tree mechanics

[@hotrodray6802]

1) So was the fuel pressure falling during the "stock" pulls? nobody monitored it. 2) So you checked the new S hose and it was clear. 3) Intake manifold etc was changed. The total power gain is not indicitive of the actual Vortec gain, since there are variables. Good power👍👍👍

[@seastacker8582]

Butt connector in the line.... can’t make this stuff up. Lol.

[@think1stproductions]

Bad A$$ video. Thanks for all the helpful videos for the new car enthusiasts and my self been around since the early 90s and have had 22 plus fox bodies and I'm in my 40s and still driving and building them. ROCK ON Landen keep up the good work brother

[@danb.3397]

I thought that sort of thing only happened to me and my brother.

[@seanmcglone1680]

The baseline horsepower number was probably low due to the fuel pressure but really noticed when the supercharger install was complete

[@davidcollier7827]

@ 18:12 it looks like you really need to replace that fan with a quality LRM replacement fan. I had to on my 91 fox. Works great. Buy good job on the install bro.

[@danmallery9142]

I wonder if your final number was down by a couple HP switching to the Cobra intake. I think the RPM probably makes a couple HP difference. Kind of a bummer changing horses midstream. Hard to nail down numbers when more than one variable is changed at a time. Very cool series, though. It is so awesome what is available nowadays where you can fairly easily add 100HP and keep it legal for those of us that get smog checked.

[@stephenroberts7816]

A butt connector!!!!!!! That is the first time I have seen that. Glad it is sorted.

[@shanegreen6977]

Yep nutty

[@danielvick7875]

Some content big fan good to see people with heart in their jobs! Thank you! And from Canada LMR is my always go to!

[@buckreynolds1779]

Wow...damn butt connector....who knew.........good job

[@idmooseman]

Would love to see something like this done to a 1979 carbureted 2.3-liter Mustang Ghia. I volunteer my car. She needs an engine rebuild, so adding a supercharger would be great.

[@MrJz97ss]

You guys need to do an SN 95 supercharger build.

[@latemodelrestoration]

That would be pretty cool! Hopefully one day we can make it happen. Thanks! -Landan

[@chriswhitehouse9764]

Thanks for the detailed information and real world honesty! Life happens, this ain't unicorns and rainbow colored gassers that smell like daisies.

[@codywood6108]

Great content and love the transparency.

[@biscuitninja]

363/ysi here... it does okay.

[@CentralVAracer]

I bet that’s a rowdy setup.

[@sandmansimms5704]

Man I wish I could find a video on instaling one on a 94 95 and specifically bending the AC line to clear the charger. I've read up on some stuff but man it just looks like it might be easy to kink that sucker..............

[@stevelawrence2546]

Excellent video!!!!!

[@pagosplace3065]

Great Job Landon! I was thinking the original pull was little bit low, as I was expecting somewhere between 275-285 RWHP with the mods listed. Is it possible the butt connector was holding it back a bit as well?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thanks! The butt connector could have potentially hurt the baseline numbers as well. As you stated, other cars that I have dyno'd with similar mods have made more power. -Landan

[@jackrabbit7389]

Pago's Place it was probably low because of that butt connector in the hose lol that car was starving for fuel even naturally aspirated

[@angelo_giachetti]

I did Vortech 347 stroker fox body in 1995.

[@Pushrodlife]

Awesome video

[@terriwhyte8064]

excellent video

[@bubbawubba2307]

How much psi was the vortech putting out? My old procharger P600B would add 225 on a stock motor. Of course it would have like 18 psi, if you didn't run the air to air intercooler it would gain 3 lbs of boost. With twisted wedge heads. Holley system max II intake and blower cam it would pump out 12 psi after the intercooler.

[@latemodelrestoration]

This kit is a non-intercooler kit and it makes between 8-10 PSI, we stayed conservative with the boost number, the head unit can produce more boost we just didn't push it to its limits.

[@foxbodyguyeightyeight3672]

@@latemodelrestoration could you please also make it more clear in your supercharger and turbo videos that success depends greatly on choice of camshaft and that cams with large duration should be avoided lots of viewers don't comprehend this technical detail and may lead to complaints from lack luster results

[@jdtv...9134]

Never ever use pinch splices, splice& crimp then shrink wrap

[@Kevin_Knox]

I realize they can't really advocate "illegal'' mods... But f**k that smog pump!

[@gabronncrowdus4150]

Can you do an install vid for the 94-95

[@gabronncrowdus4150]

please

[@hotrodray6802]

IMPORTANT Note. I saw a factory type replacement fuel filter that the inlet and outlet were crimped down to about 5/32". Look over everything regardless of the brand names.

[@hotrodray6802]

the round holes where the line fittings slip on

[@jojog8304]

What was the max boost in the final dyno. Still 6psi? (That’s pretty good!)

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Hidden ignition box? As if one wouldn’t notice the blower?

[@kelvinjones1866]

Very nice

[@robertbelote5273]

Thanks

[@edgardorosario424]

En la primera prueba allmotor se escuchó una pausa en el motor señal de un problema de gasolina o cableado.luego descubre ese conector en la bomba de gasolina por eso la interrupción en el aceleramiento del motor.axlare la duda sobre por q montar una bomba de gasolina externa si vienen buenas bombas de gasolina con bastantes LPH 255 y 340.

[@reachadcreadordasilva3471]

Would that blue plug have been a problem in the first prevortech run?

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

Should have replaced the fuel filter during the install, also you mounted the MSD box upside down. So if you drive the car in the rain, the MSD box will fill with water NICE JOB. You also could have run the wiring in a way so as not to put it under the spare tire going to the T-REX pump. Next time take more time and more pride on an install.

[@jcnpresser]

Scotch locks, sheet metal screws for grounds, come on.

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

That's also true, they had the means to do a proper install, but they did one an amateur would do, or a shady garage.

[@brycepratt6644]

Thanks for the video LMR. What tuner chip did you with?

[@hotrodray6802]

Good question. He implies theyre isnt one, just the green injectors and the mass air.

[@moisessanchez9294]

Need answers !!!!!

[@moisessanchez9294]

?????

[@camaromustangmods3327]

The vortec kit should just include an intank pump.

[@pimpovic2]

Yeah no kidding. That secondary fuel pump fails and there goes your engine after a tune. Ejecto seato cuz.

[@stevenminix]

They should for the money, I mean seriously. I would just sump the tank and run a killer pump setup with pre & post filters and AN hoses.

[@camaromustangmods3327]

@@pimpovic2 That external Trex looks sloppy as anything. Intank Vortec...are you listening?

[@JustinNunley1]

so would this work with the factory control unit or would i need to get a mini squirt or something like the holley terminator?

[@luckymanham302]

Factory ECU is meh, but it works. Best to get a custom burnt chip to make the most of the aftermarket parts. Of course if money isn’t an issue, Holley/ Megasquirt is the way to go….

[@jmh47slc]

Did it pop a wheelie?

[@XxXnandyfilth6XxX]

Maybe is a dumb question but i want to buy this kit but do i need to buy an aftermarket OBDII ECU for this installation? Or i could do this installation with the factory OBDI ECU?

[@latemodelrestoration]

We ran the factory ECU with this kit. To achieve additional power, a custom tune via a chip or an aftermarket ECU such as the Holley Terminator X or Megasquirt can be used. -Landan Here is a video about the Megasquirt ECU: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmapY56end-AkNE We also sell these ECU's on our site: lmr.com/products/79-93-Mustang-Computers-Controls

[@prestige_123]

Did he install this and go right to the Dyno without a tune?

[@1etergen]

Seems very very shy in the HP. Stock heads ?

[@tristanadaffron]

Would 30lb injectors have worked in this situation?

[@Sky-Soldier]

What are the chances a butt connector would accidentally end up in a fuel line? But having worked on cars for 40 years I’m not surprised-

[@latemodelrestoration]

We thought the same thing! To add to this, we just ran into a similar fueling issue on a 393ci swapped Fox. There was a piece of trash in the small tube that supplies the sump in the tank. Chased the issue on and off for nearly a year. Crazy stuff! -Landan

[@Sky-Soldier]

@ my son and I are building a 87’ convertible. I’m just got a p-40 intake, looking for heads. I really want to put a simple supercharger on it. We are about to go outside and install an Autometer digital dash. Thanks for the videos! Keep them up.

[@habib080]

Why did he gap the spark plugs to 0.035? Original spark plugs are gapped at 0.054

[@latemodelrestoration]

Because the car is boosted. A tighter gap is required to prevent spark blowout. -Landan

Did you have to tune the ecu for the 42# injectors?

[@latemodelrestoration]

No, we didn't tune the ECU. We installed a Pro-M meter that was calibrated for 42# injectors. However, further tuning of the ECU would have netted a little more peak power. -Landan

[@jessegaunt7033]

You ran the 42's without the fmu is that correct? Sorry for yet another question.

[@Giitzerland]

Or, and I'm saying this as someone that's had a few pushrod 302 mustangs in my life, save yourself the heartache, and take your time looking for a bone stock Coyote, or small LS. I just hate to see people throw so much money at an engine that's so wonderful, and sounds so incredible under 300hp rwh, but nobody stops there,, you get to 380, then want 400, then you want more, and end up with disaster, and regret, and a broken heart, because we all love our Fox body, and SN95's. until they're just a giant paperweight. You do you, just a suggestion. (edit-if you have a real Cobra, go for it! it's worth every penny you throw at it, imo).

[@californiakev1071]

LMAO. 375 horse. A Pontiac 400 stroked to 461 cubes puts out, naturally aspirated, and with a mild roller cam puts out just under 500 HP and 560 ft pounds of torque. And that's on pump gas. I love me a Fox Body but many engines can put out much more with less.
