RangerTurbo Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 do they make it another way? What exactly are you asking? There is air to air intercoolers, whereas you would ideally want them "front mounted" to have the coolest possible air flowing over the core. Then the air to water intercooler. It's basically a regular intercooler incased in a tank that has cold water running across the core of the intercooler. The water usually comes from an external tank mounted somewhere in the car that pumps ice water through the cooler. Then you can have water/meth injection, where you are chemically cooling the intake air with liquid, and can be used alone, or in conjunction with either of the two style of intercoolers above.

88lx5oh Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 so the block wont bolt up to a mustang tranny or will it?? i mean physically it should work right? 3.8 ford blocks are the same dimensions, the heads should be similar.. maybe the intake side on the thunderbird heads are different form the mustang in which the thunderbird intake wouldnt bolt up?? just wondering.

Martin Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 it wont last long stock. thats why i was suggesting built internals. mustang engine may last past 300k miles with the posi charger or it may last a cupple weeks after you put it on. this link will teach you the basic if you want to know http://www.v6power.net/vb/showthread.php?t=5716 My question about the air to water was is there another place to put it besides front mount. i haven't seen one put anywhere else thats why i stated a front mount air to water. if you have a air to water and you want more hp, do you think CO2 spray or NOS would help the intercooler cool the air down or is that technique strictly for air to air ryan that engine looks amazing. did you take the engine completely apart and sand everything down and then paint the outside or did you just paint it when it was together. plus how did you strip the clear coat and the ugly gray coat off the m90 or did you just paint on top of the coat.

Martin Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 well i want to know if you took the SC engine apart to paint it or did you paint the engine while it was all together and did you sand the m90 or did you use a paint thiner/remover to get the past factory paint job off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I know most of this has been gone over, but, I wouldn't boost that blower 17+ lbs. At the range you're going to be creating too much heat to get any large gains in power. If you're planning on having this do any track duty, you'll want cool air. I would suggest a small (ie. 30-50) dry shot of nitrous. You'll pick up 30-50hp and a hell of a lot of torque from the cooling effect. You may also want to add an IAT2 temp sensor so you know how much the boost changes will change temps. Whatever you do, good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
