X-Charger Engine Bay Photos Needed.....
 

Hey X-Men,
Dave at Explorer Express will be re-facing his website, He asked If could ask for the X-Men on board, this Wonderful site to forward engine bay photos for possible use on the Explorer Express new website, with your permission of course........

Please Submit here.....

dave@explorerexpress.com

I'd gladly send him a bunch, but mine's pretty heavily modded from "as delivered" form. Probably wouldn't be too useful for him in showing off the kit in it's standard configuration.

Yea he doesn't want your photos.. they are too fancy :P

You should post some up here just to remind everyone how awesome x-chargers are :)

Well, since ya asked...

Paul that is a SICK RIDE.......I still would submit!!!!! Hello!!!!

your hood struts are different then mine, gotta say this car is beautiful. def submit.

where did u get the cobra body kit? and does it fit right on?

I didn't get a "Cobra body kit", I converted the nose using all genuine Ford GT500 parts (front fascia, grilles, headlights, driving lights, splitter, etc). Since they're genuine Ford parts intended for the Mustang platform, yes, they fit perfectly BUT due to the number of parts needed, it's not an especially inexpensive conversion.

Expect $1600+ for all the parts to do it right, and there's a fair bit of labor involved. Since I did all the prep, paint and install myself, that wasn't out of pocket for me, but if you're having a body shop do it, labor could easily double the cost.

Nice pics.

I vote that when sending the pics to EE, X-men also post in here for the rest of us to see.

Wish I had mine installed. Maybe the end of next week I'll send Dave some if all goes as planned. Did my FRPP dual exhaust yesterday. Pain in the ass.

Mine (stock airbox installed for emissions insp)

I need to find an alternator cover... I don't know why they stopped putting them on the later models.

hey that no alternator cover weight saving mod cuts 0.0000000000000572s on the quarter mile

And probably saved Ford $1.99 on the production line

That is the real reason right there.... now I will have to pay the Ford parts department $49.99 for that $1.99 piece.

Noticed some of you have aftermarket fluid tanks (radiator). What's the advantage of those? Is it just cosmetic? They do look nice.

Do they even have it? Last time I heard someone try they were unavailable.

All of you with your X pictures suck!!!



.....lol, jk. i need one bad :(

you and me both buddy

ouch, and then ya gotta cut that 1.99 I mean $50 piece

:icon_hitit:

MOAR!!!

Im a tard, what does that mean?

more..........................

I'll donate a couple more:

lmao agreed:icon_lol:

I don't know if Ford has it, I was just making a guess on availbility and price :) I will probably just tape up my alternator and try and paint it.

And I will be posting up some more for you all shortly... :)

Ok here you go, a bunch of picture of when I installed my x-charger. Enjoy!

NICE!!!
I can't wait for the Xcharger Xtreme!! Intercooled kit.

How long did it take for ya'll to install this?
Ease of installation?

i partially watched one get installed in a day...

Nice pics, thanks for posting.

Average for the regular kit is around 8 hours give or take a bit. The intercooled version will take a bit longer simply because there's more stuff to install (heat exchanger, coolant pump, etc)

As far as ease, I like to express it like this: if you're mechanically inclined enough to be able to swap a water pump, and comfortable enough with wiring to install a set of speakers, you have sufficient skills to follow the X-Charger install instructions sucessfully.

Did someone say they wanted more porn?

Sorry for the missing X-Charger.

The intercooler got in the way temporarily :icon_naughty:

Oooooo I can't wait! :)

Nice!!!
