Ok, i got my bumper off to look at where this intercooler is gonna fit in there, and WTF is all i could muster. There is no room in the engine bay to run a 3" pipe to and from the intercooler. Does anyone have an intercooler on their centrifugal blower driven 99-04 mustang [gt]? if so, could i get a pic of it so i can see how in the flying hell you did it. thanx

 

what kind of blower/ intercooler are you running ?

 

its a paxton novi 1000 with a 2.75" pulley so its well over 10 lbs of boost, the intercooler is a greddy a/a cooler. its good up to 700 hp or 30 psi so i know it'll stand but its just so damn tight in the bay with the blower right there. you can see in my avitar

 

I believe lots of guys reclock the SC and run the pipe behind the fan right?

Take pics of your install as I am looking to do this too!

 

hahahah it's a messed up routing system. mine isn't in my engine bay at all. there's no way it'd ever fit. its in front of everything. actually, the only thing further forward than the intercooler, is the front body kit. if you're facing the engine (from the front of the car), the blower spins counterclockwise, shooting out from the left side to around 5 o'clock. goes all the way to the bottom right hand corner (under the battery), then turns around, goes in front of everything else and enters my intercooler. comes out of the intercooler, shoots up into the fender, comes out where the stock air box used to be, and turns heading toward my MAF and throttle body.

 

What brand MAF do you have? I assume its a blowthru? Any issues?

 

hmm... you know, i'm going to have to check which one is on it right now. for a while, i switched things around like crazy. i've had a couple on the car, at various stages of upgrading. as a matter of fact, i think this is my 4th. i dont remember which is on it now. i'm pretty sure the pro-m on right now. its round in and out (no flange), so it needs rubber couplings to connect it, and it doesnt have the "finger" on the inside. this one has holes all around the inside walls, which load ring around the MAF body with air, where it passes over the sensors and then back into the intake.

that probably made no sense to you. if you've seen one, you know what i'm talking about. maybe someone on here can chime in?

its definitely a blowthru maf. on a centrifugal, i wouldn't have it any other way. as far as any issues, there are none that i know of. they're sensitive to what position they're rotated to, i can tell you that much. mine still could be the cause of a few problems i'm having, but i doubt it.

 

etern...do you have any left over blow thru mafs that you would be willing to sell :-) haha

 

heh, i actually might.. what kinda power are you going to be making?

 

i could possibly be up to 600 but im gonna get it tuned to be around 5ish, 550
