Project MILF 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install - Deep-Breathing Exercises


The Household Budget
Since this particular Mustang is driven by a husband and wife, it's only right that a budget be kept. While we don't do this often with our project cars, we figured this would be a good way for everyone to see how much one can invest in their ride in the name of performance. Keep in mind that this tally includes prices for parts only. The original cost of the car and labor rates are not included here as there are variables to both figures.

2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Valve Covers
We figured that while we were doing the blower swap, we would spruce up the engine a bit and swap out the drab factory valve covers for a set of FRPP's nifty black crinkle valve covers.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Valve Covers
We went with the black crinkle because it matches the Whipple's blower case nicely. We also threw in FRPP's painted billet oil-fill cap cover for a bit more flare.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Heater Core
Once the intake manifold was off, Winter rerouted the heater core lines that were in the intake valley.
2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Water Crossover
He then installed the supplied water crossover and slipped the alternator between it with the kit's brackets.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Pulley
The factory idler pulley (left) was ditched for the smaller one supplied with the kit (right).		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Pulley
The pulley and supplied bracket would make installing the serpentine/blower belt down the road a lot easier.
2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Ford Racing Lower Intake Manifold
With all of the heater lines rerouted, Winter separated the lower manifold from the blower and placed it on the engine.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Ford Racing Lower Intake Manifold
Once he torqued the bolts down to the required 125 lb-in (from the center out), he placed the blower gasket on top of the manifold.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Ford Racing Whipple Supercharger
We have to admit, by this time we were pretty excited. Chris readied the blower for installation, and then carefully lowered it on. After he torqued the bolts down to 20 ft-lb, we took a step back and admired the attitude that had just appeared under the hood. We then went back to work and installed the serpentine/blower belt that came with the kit.
2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Fuel Injectors
With the blower on, the stock injectors were swapped for the 38-pound injectors supplied with the kit.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Installed Fuel Rails
Once the injectors were on the fuel rails, Winter reinstalled them and hooked up the fuel lines.		 2006 Ford Mustang GT Supercharger Install Bolting Down The Blower
With the spark plugs already in, Winter put the coil packs back on and hooked up the harness. He then proceeded to perform all of the needed wiring for the throttle position sensor, mass air meter, and drive-by-wire. With all of these sensors being relocated to different areas, lengthening of the wires was necessary.
