I would love to go for the X but I'm in So Cal and from what I am told the X still doesnot have DMV certification. Also from what I hear EE is doing the footwork to get this done. My concern is that I go ahead with it and then EE does not get the cert. What are the chances? Phil

I live in Ca and took the chance, EE has CARB cert on their kit for the Explorer and Ranger which have the same engine as us. I don't think there will be a problem and I have about 3 years before I have to worry about it.

I would really like to do this but I really don't want to take it out if they don't get the cert.

yes the carb is a pain in the ***. dave was suppose to do the carb with my car (i was the test mule) but then they changed there info to him and made him get a 07. he got a grabber v6 auto and now has a full time test mule to work with and get it done. i too live in so cal. and am confident he will have it ready by the time i need it. i am running the cali kit with the 3.0 pulley my best 1/8th mile time so far was 8.95 with street tires and open diff at irwindale. i have over 18k miles with the x and it works fine. lots of fun and easy install. plus it looks so darn good on top of the motor.

I live right on the IA/IL border, right along I-80, and will make my car available for examination by anyone who feels they're near enough to make the trip worthwhile. I believe I'm the only one with an X-Charged Mustang for several hundred miles in any direction from where I live.

Is there anyone with an X-charger in or near southeast Michigan? I'd like to take a look at one installed and spend some time talking with you.

RE: X-Charger Discussion Thread
which Eaton blower is being used in the EE kit? is it the M90 or the M62? because i was looking over the Eaton site, and apparently both of them will work with our motors. and has anyone been able to use a smaller pulley than the 2.80"? i like the roots-type look better than centrifugal blowers ora turbo, but when i do get boosted, i dont want to drop almost 4 grand for something ill be changing out later for more power. i like the 6 and want to stick with it. thats not a question. i just wanna figure out how much boost can be pushed out of that blower and what my HP #'s will max out at. I have seen different blowers have pulleys as small as 2.50" and im wondering why i havent heard of anything like this for the X-Charger. if anyone can answer any of my ?'s it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
