2007 Ford Mustang GT Rotrex Blower - Taken By Force

The Rotrex blower is now ready for mounting onto the bracket. The kit uses a cetrifugal C38-81 blower that can produce more than 15 psi, but the supplied pulley setup will yield a streetable 10 psi.

Abe torques the four bolts holding the blower to the bracket and installs the oil line.

Mounting the belt to the supercharger belt system requires a second set of hands. Abe takes the tension out of the belt using a 1/2-inch ratchet on the tensioner, meanwhile Forced Air Performance CEO Mac Randolph routes the belt onto the pulleys and blower.

With the pulley and blower installation finished, Abe begins installing the air-to-water intercooler. Forced Air Performance opted for an air-to-water intercooler system. It's more efficient than an air-to-air intercooler on this particular car because of the number of bends required to make the air-to-air intercooler fit. The air-to-water is also much easier to install and doesn't require modification or cutting of the Mustang.

The air-to-water intercooler is mounted onto the billet/pulley bracket.

Abe connects the braided steel lines with -12 fittings, which are used to connect the air-to-water intercooler to the radiator or heat exchanger behind the bumper. It's a closed system, so it doesn't use any coolant from stock engine or radiator.

Abe installs the custom-built silicon hose that connects the air-to-water intercooler to the OEM throttle body.

Abe installs the filter, intake pipe, and intake elbow onto the blower. The kit uses an AirRaid cotton-gauze filter and draws air from the stock location behind the driver-side headlight.

Once all the connections and bolts are torqued and checked, the front bumper can be reinstalled. When the supercharger is installed, the only thing left to do is install the fuel map to the stock ECU. This is a simple procedure that involves plugging in the OBD II downloader that comes with the kit, then uploading the correct fuel maps for the supercharger to the OEM computer.
