Project Odin || Full Odin Installation || Step by Step for 2018+ Mustang

[@TJP5.0]

Really like how everything is OEM+, there are no major modifications of the stock engine and accessories.

i'll watch this entire thing because i just enjoy watching you guys work!

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

Step 1: Pay a professional to install. Step 2: Enjoy it !! Step 3: Watches this video as a reminder why I paid a professional. As a professional Automotive Painter since 1985, every mechanic or engine builder needs a concourse paint job :-)

[@Rebellovw]

Nice - I like how you don't have to drill/tap the block for the pully like the other offerings. Very tempting.

[@Bill-from-HR]

Stating the torque spec for each fastener as it's tightened would have been great. Maybe you could add the Spec next to the so ket size?

[@tristansmirnow850]

Like the air box system how you guys kept the factory ducking that goes to the front grille and also making it an open element at the same time.....awesome 👌

[@robg2732]

You guys do amazing work. Thank you for posting this!

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Thank you Robert!

[@json216]

This is a amazing instructional video...well done...well explained

[@mavricxx]

Hell yeah, loved every second of this install! LOVE that we don't need to do any drilling and tapping! This looks like such an easy install, I'm even more psyched to get mine. I also love that we can use the stock JLT oil catch cans too not some specially made one. The way the Supercharger screws on too, unlike some I've seen where they screw on the outside which the ones around back of the firewall are a b* to screw on. I am shocked how much they improved this Supercharger vs the others.

[@kills456]

Really feeling like I ordered the wrong kit whipple hasn’t posted a vid in 3 years would be nice to have a concise install video like these

[@keithpetersen560]

He made it look so simple and fast. Would be great to see the test results. Great job..

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Thanks for the kind words Keith! We have a number of videos featuring dyno pulls with the Odin on anything from '11 Mustang GTs all the way up to current. The short and skinny of it, on 93 Octane, this kit is capable of over 700rwhp on an otherwise stock vehicle and exponentially climbs with supporting modifications such as a return style fuel system and E85. A good example would be our sales director's car that currently makes just shy of 1100rwhp. Don't hesitate to email us and let us know any other questions you have. Feel free to browse our channel to see any of the test results.

That was the best how-to I have seen. As usual you made it look easy. Thanks for taking the time to do that. How long would you take without the video interference. It looked like about 3 solid hours.

This is a weekend job for the entry level mechanic and a solid day for an experienced tech.

[@jaiquanboykins13]

@@VMPPerformanceTV would you recommend a entry level mechanic taking the challenge

Bending that little coolant ''nipple'' had me going lmao. In the north with rust it would of snapped and made a bad day, well just a little worse but if i was getting an Odin i might be alright with it.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

It's always a balance of modify versus replace to control kit costs. This doesn't take much of a bend at all for clearance, as it's small diameter and the hose for it is rather small as well.

[@lilantgaming9740]

I watched so many videos on how to install different superchargers I’m confident to install 2 but I’ll still pay for it to get done

[@russelllen8413]

This looks like a clean, minimally invasive installation that one could do themselves. However, it's $2k more than a Rousch phase I kit, though it does require more modifications.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

It does provide substantially more power, as well as greater potential with additional modifications such as a return style fuel system and E85. A more apt comparison is the Phase 2 kit which lists 750hp at the crank and delivers high 500s to low 600s to the wheel. The Odin kit delivers an average of 675rwhp on '18+ Mustangs.

Torque specs? Could you add them to the video. Printed next to the size of the tool.

[@brentrichards1200]

You didn't go over uploading the tune. Does this system come with a tune?

[@reaperrican2534]

Is the blower bolts to the head torque spec is Newton meters? Cause you guys say mm instead of nm just clarifying

[@acdcdave1387]

The heat exchanger bottle/reservoir appears to have been upgraded since this video because the one on my car is much bigger than this

[@InfernalSavior]

Got one of these installed about a month ago.. definitely has potential, but I think there's something wrong with either the install or the tune (aftermarket, not the one from VMP). Initially after I first got the car back, it went into limp mode a few times. Would resolve after turning the car off & starting back up. Then it started throwing Trouble Code: IAT sensor circuit range or performance problem (p0111 I believe). Shop said that I'm likely just suffering heat soak from the increased heat given off from the blower, but I'm skeptical (granted, I'm not a mechanic by any means) given the highly regarded cooling setup on these Odin kits. I do live in Texas and it's July, so temps are usually mid 90s or low 100s, but I'm seeing IATs on my dash (no nGauge or anything else) of 160-170 after runs. Car will cool down maybe 5-10 degrees when I return to normal highway driving @ 60-70mph, and of course increases a little at a stop. But that seems way too high to be correct. Symptoms I've noticed that something is off is that the car feels slower a lot of the time - in 2nd gear and beyond if I go WOT, I notice the boost maybe up until about 3500-4000 rpms, then it feels like it just disappears. Shop also believes that this feeling of "decreased power" is due to the stock clutch starting to slip. If the IAT harness was installed correctly, could it be that the tune did not recalibrate the temps at which the ECU pulls timing?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

That definitely sounds like something's not quite right. Email us at [e-mail] with this information and our support and tuning staff can assist with what might be going on. Here in Florida, it gets pretty hot and even in traffic/sitting, we're not seeing those types of IATs.

[@InfernalSavior]

@@VMPPerformanceTV Thanks for the response! I definitely will.

[@jusplayn2000]

Does the intercooler only take water? I'm assuming up north we would use antifreeze?

[@goodnoughperformance]

In a climate where temps can reach freezing the use of coolant would be suggested.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

You can use a mix of antifreeze and we use "green" ethylene glycol based coolant to make it easily identifiable if there's a leak versus the manufacturer's orange engine coolant.

[@golfbike]

Great video. 1,297 commercials though?

[@Carbon5.0]

24:34 to 24:54 what is the Torque

[@high-rise8505]

Great video! Does VMP have a strut tower brace that will fit this kit or will the original one work. Or do you recommend not using one? Thanks! 🇺🇸

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We do not have a strut tower brace that works as most of them come into contact with the blower's lid. We haven't seen any noticeable detriment from removing or not using one. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@Nocturnal_Auto]

Curious why you don't show the alternate intercooler pump installation, or a suggestion for the horn relocation. Seems both Odin kits I've seen have come with only the Loki intercooler pump.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Given the current worldwide supply shortages we are shipping kits with the best available pump.

[@wildfirewoodandmetalworx2409]

Do you need to upgrade the clutch, driveshaft, and half shafts to take full advantage of this kit or is it safe to run it with the factory parts? I assume the factory parts will not hold up too long.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

It really depends on your intended use of the vehicle. For a enthusiast's vehicle that only see's street driving, they can survive. If your intention is to take the vehicle primarily to the track with a sticky tire, we'd recommend upgrading other components to go along with your supercharger kit. That being said, those components are designed with OEM levels of power in mind and we've seen things break on naturally aspirated set ups. Feel free to reach out, we'd be happy to discuss your goals and make recommendations based on your desired power level and how you plan on using the car.

[@wildfirewoodandmetalworx2409]

@@VMPPerformanceTV awesome! Thank you and I will definitely be reaching out here in the coming weeks🤙🏻. No drag strips just the occasional road course but nothing too crazy.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

The big initial killer of driveshafts and axles are shock. The same can be said for the clutch and transmission. If you're driving the car with smooth transitions in an effort to not upset/unsettle the suspension, you'll find minimal shock and likely a pretty good life-span for the parts. The story is completely different for a drag racer or drifter.

Do you have to remove the under bonnet insulation? I see its been removed in the vid.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We would recommend removing the insulation. In long term testing, we've seen no issues arise from it.

[@PasoCash]

Does anybody know if this is the same process for a gen 5 Whipple

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

While most PD superchargers will have similar steps, each manufacturer will have their own procedures for details specific to their supercharger and kit components. Your best bet is to contact the dealer from which you purchased it or Whipple directly to obtain instructions if you're looking for help with your Whipple.

[@joeleck9181]

[@dimmacommunication]

How much hp would this make?

[@freddys5508]

What are the torque specs for bolting down the blower I don’t understand what 70mm and 30mm is lol

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hey Freddy. The 70mm and 30mm are the bolt lengths. As for torque specs, you would use the same torque spec as the intake manifold as you're bolting the blower down into aluminum heads and do not want to pull threads.

[@d3et1roi3t]

I was set on buying a whipple.. Now im not so sure @VMPPerformance Why is the Odin a better choice?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We're bit fans of the TVS technology that we use in the Odin supercharger for it's driving manners and responsive nature.

[@flightxray3]

What is the special tool to release the passenger side fuel line?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

It's a Fuel Line quick disconnect tool. They're available at your local parts store or most any where you can purchase automotive specific tools. It's designed to slight into and release the tension on the internal spring in that connector.

[@kicksnkrs8192]

What are the throttle body torque specs

[@TurianX]

This might be a dumb question, but after install, will the strut tower brace still clear it?

It will not. It would come into contact with the blower lid.

The tune is done via an nGauge and HPTuners.

[@paulsmith-ld8xl]

What about tune ?

[@goodnoughperformance]

What about it?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

We include a tune with Coyote supercharger kit purchases and you would just need a device to flash the tune onto the PCM. In the case of the 18+ cars, it's via an HPTuners nGauge.

These instructions are missing several steps on the 2022-2023. I bought this blower and the video is good. But whatever model year the car in the video is (2019?), it’s not the same as the 2022. Numerous parts are different and not mentioned at all. And there are no instructions for those parts, plugs etc. You are left to figure it out. I plan to call vmp to get their advice. Still working on my install. Doing it myself. I don’t trust a shop to do it. Been burned too many times by terrible work.

[@SPACE-IS-FAKE-777]

Oil pump gears?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hi Jeno. Are you asking if they're needed? Assuming that's the case, oil pump gears and crank sprocket upgrades are typically associated with your style of driving and use of the vehicle. Drifting or drag racing a manual transmission car would warrant considering these upgrades much more than daily driving a 10R80 equipped vehicle. The biggest risk to your OPG and CS have to do with rev limiter strikes and anything that would "shock" the engine such as a two step etc.
