2006 Mustang GT
Saleen Supercharger Install

Do you smell something? That is the smell of burning plastic, as in my credit card dripping melted plastic out of my wallet. The 06 Mustang was supposed to be on the back burner while a few other projects had to get done, but some time ago I came across a deal on a Saleen supercharger that I just could not pass up. The deal brought the blower from "pipe dream" to "maybe", so I went ahead and did it. The unit has been sitting in the shop since July. We have had so many customer cars to get done that I didn't have 2 minutes to even think about the blower, let alone find a weekend to install it, but last weekend the time was found.

Here you can see the stock engine bay. The stock 4.6 pumps out 300hp as it is and that is plenty to run around coastal Maine, but as with all things automotive... If some is good, then more is better. So the 300 horses will be saying hello to about 100 more when we install the new Saleen supercharger. More info on the Saleen supercharger can be seen here: http://www.saleen.com/supercharger.htm

First step is always tear down. Front bumper assembly has to come off to mount the blowers intercooler and we have to tear the engine down a bit as well.

Here you can see the factory intake has been removed and its time to install the new blower onto the engine.

The better part of a day later and the new blower is in place and nearly everything is hooked up. The computer has been sent to Saleen in CA for a new program to run correctly with the supercharger and hopefully we'll see that back shortly so that "testing" can begin.
Big thumbs up to Casey at Haney Motor Sport for all the hook ups, check out his place at: http://www.haneymotorsport.com/
