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

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.

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.

Once the intake manifold was off, Winter rerouted the heater core lines that were in the intake valley.

He then installed the supplied water crossover and slipped the alternator between it with the kit's brackets.

The factory idler pulley (left) was ditched for the smaller one supplied with the kit (right).

The pulley and supplied bracket would make installing the serpentine/blower belt down the road a lot easier.

With all of the heater lines rerouted, Winter separated the lower manifold from the blower and placed it on the engine.

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.

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.

With the blower on, the stock injectors were swapped for the 38-pound injectors supplied with the kit.

Once the injectors were on the fuel rails, Winter reinstalled them and hooked up the fuel lines.

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.
