If you had the choice, what would you choose - Supercharger Or Turbo? Check out our Fox Body Turbo Install - czcams.com/video/LIn0VqLrR9s/video.html
Probably a supercharger like what I am going to do to the sn95 on my channel
Turbo. More complex but greater area under the curve. Also, no hp loss from the supercharger.
Turbo. There is no adjusting the belt all the time. Lol.
I have the v3sci i bought from you guys a few years ago. Been working great!
Supercharger, had the same kit on my 88vert with heads, cam and intake
I like that u actually took the time to find out and tell us what the problem was instead of making it look like everything was gravy! Much more like real life!
Keep up the cool videos. Y'all have helped a lot of people with this free information. Thanks for helping out the shade tree mechanics
Great Video, I for one truly appreciate the honesty!!!
Butt connector in the line.... can’t make this stuff up. Lol.
Bad A$$ video. Thanks for all the helpful videos for the new car enthusiasts and my self been around since the early 90s and have had 22 plus fox bodies and I'm in my 40s and still driving and building them.
ROCK ON Landen keep up the good work brother
Wow, finally a real mechanic fixing real sh*t!! I've been there I'm sure we'll have. To the point where you 🤔 actually start questioning "science". Good on you bro. All these utube experts never seem to have any issues, ever.
Some content big fan good to see people with heart in their jobs! Thank you! And from Canada LMR is my always go to!
Great content and love the transparency.
Glad you did it right, the fmu and in-line pump are a band aid at best.
Excellent video!!!!!
Awesome video
excellent video
@ 18:12 it looks like you really need to replace that fan with a quality LRM replacement fan. I had to on my 91 fox. Works great. Buy good job on the install bro.
1) So was the fuel pressure falling during the "stock" pulls? nobody monitored it.
2) So you checked the new S hose and it was clear.
3) Intake manifold etc was changed.
The total power gain is not indicitive of the actual Vortec gain, since there are variables.
Good power👍👍👍
The baseline horsepower number was probably low due to the fuel pressure but really noticed when the supercharger install was complete
Thanks
I thought that sort of thing only happened to me and my brother.
Very nice
Wow...damn butt connector....who knew.........good job
A butt connector!!!!!!! That is the first time I have seen that. Glad it is sorted.
Yep nutty
Thanks for the detailed information and real world honesty! Life happens, this ain't unicorns and rainbow colored gassers that smell like daisies.
What was the max boost in the final dyno. Still 6psi? (That’s pretty good!)
I wonder if your final number was down by a couple HP switching to the Cobra intake. I think the RPM probably makes a couple HP difference. Kind of a bummer changing horses midstream. Hard to nail down numbers when more than one variable is changed at a time. Very cool series, though. It is so awesome what is available nowadays where you can fairly easily add 100HP and keep it legal for those of us that get smog checked.
Man I wish I could find a video on instaling one on a 94 95 and specifically bending the AC line to clear the charger. I've read up on some stuff but man it just looks like it might be easy to kink that sucker..............
En la primera prueba allmotor se escuchó una pausa en el motor señal de un problema de gasolina o cableado.luego descubre ese conector en la bomba de gasolina por eso la interrupción en el aceleramiento del motor.axlare la duda sobre por q montar una bomba de gasolina externa si vienen buenas bombas de gasolina con bastantes LPH 255 y 340.
Would that blue plug have been a problem in the first prevortech run?
I did Vortech 347 stroker fox body in 1995.
363/ysi here... it does okay.
I bet that’s a rowdy setup.
Did he install this and go right to the Dyno without a tune?
Great Job Landon! I was thinking the original pull was little bit low, as I was expecting somewhere between 275-285 RWHP with the mods listed. Is it possible the butt connector was holding it back a bit as well?
Thanks! The butt connector could have potentially hurt the baseline numbers as well. As you stated, other cars that I have dyno'd with similar mods have made more power. -Landan
Pago's Place it was probably low because of that butt connector in the hose lol that car was starving for fuel even naturally aspirated
Would 30lb injectors have worked in this situation?
Did it pop a wheelie?
You guys need to do an SN 95 supercharger build.
That would be pretty cool! Hopefully one day we can make it happen. Thanks! -Landan
How much psi was the vortech putting out? My old procharger P600B would add 225 on a stock motor. Of course it would have like 18 psi, if you didn't run the air to air intercooler it would gain 3 lbs of boost. With twisted wedge heads. Holley system max II intake and blower cam it would pump out 12 psi after the intercooler.
This kit is a non-intercooler kit and it makes between 8-10 PSI, we stayed conservative with the boost number, the head unit can produce more boost we just didn't push it to its limits.
@@latemodelrestoration could you please also make it more clear in your supercharger and turbo videos that success depends greatly on choice of camshaft and that cams with large duration should be avoided lots of viewers don't comprehend this technical detail and may lead to complaints from lack luster results
IMPORTANT Note.
I saw a factory type replacement fuel filter that the inlet and outlet were crimped down to about 5/32".
Look over everything regardless of the brand names.
the round holes where the line fittings slip on
so would this work with the factory control unit or would i need to get a mini squirt or something like the holley terminator?
Factory ECU is meh, but it works. Best to get a custom burnt chip to make the most of the aftermarket parts. Of course if money isn’t an issue, Holley/ Megasquirt is the way to go….
Maybe is a dumb question but i want to buy this kit but do i need to buy an aftermarket OBDII ECU for this installation? Or i could do this installation with the factory OBDI ECU?
We ran the factory ECU with this kit. To achieve additional power, a custom tune via a chip or an aftermarket ECU such as the Holley Terminator X or Megasquirt can be used. -Landan
Here is a video about the Megasquirt ECU: czcams.com/video/x5F2khhzMZo/video.html
We also sell these ECU's on our site: lmr.com/products/79-93-Mustang-Computers-Controls
How long did this take you?
Seems very very shy in the HP. Stock heads ?
Thanks for the video LMR. What tuner chip did you with?
Good question.
He implies theyre isnt one, just the green injectors and the mass air.
Need answers !!!!!
?????
Never ever use pinch splices, splice& crimp then shrink wrap
Can you do an install vid for the 94-95
please
I realize they can't really advocate "illegal'' mods... But f**k that smog pump!
That's also true, they had the means to do a proper install, but they did one an amateur would do, or a shady garage.
What exhaust was on the car for the first two pulls?
This was some time ago, but I believe it had a Flowmaster exhaust on it seen here - czcams.com/video/EUwxppaEqBY/video.html
Should have replaced the fuel filter during the install, also you mounted the MSD box upside down. So if you drive the car in the rain, the MSD box will fill with water NICE JOB. You also could have run the wiring in a way so as not to put it under the spare tire going to the T-REX pump. Next time take more time and more pride on an install.
Scotch locks, sheet metal screws for grounds, come on.
I haven't seen the black vortech unit. Is there a part # for the kit or is it painted?
Here is the link to this kit below! -Jay

Ahh... I was looking under 94-95. Thanks for the response. I will be a very good customer soon especially after things finally come back available!
Looks like its running rich.

Hidden ignition box? As if one wouldn’t notice the blower?
Seat belt on, to run on the Dyno?
What happens when the car jumps off the dyno
How do the Windsor Jr heads compare to Gt40/p heads? Power and flow

What a pain in the butt connector
Lol so crazy 😜
Is a 255lph pump enough for this kit or do I need the booster pump as well
Enough for this especially 24lb injectors
Cutting up the SSP rad hose is sad.
Did you have to tune the ecu for the 42# injectors?
No, we didn't tune the ECU. We installed a Pro-M meter that was calibrated for 42# injectors. However, further tuning of the ECU would have netted a little more peak power. -Landan
You ran the 42's without the fmu is that correct? Sorry for yet another question.
@@jessegaunt7033 Yes. The 42# injectors were used without the FMU. -Landan
My mustang is 347 stroker
Is this an sci, or si head unit?
Si head unit. -Landan
What wheel are on this car?
SVE Series 3 Wheels
The vortec kit should just include an intank pump.
Yeah no kidding. That secondary fuel pump fails and there goes your engine after a tune. Ejecto seato cuz.
They should for the money, I mean seriously. I would just sump the tank and run a killer pump setup with pre & post filters and AN hoses.
@@pimpovic2 That external Trex looks sloppy as anything. Intank Vortec...are you listening?
I see like 3 fox bodies a yr,
Deja vu. Why does it have today's date on it?
Dan Corso that’s what I was saying!
This car running a T-5?
Yes. -Landan
could just get rid of the smog pump like everyone did back then as soon as they got the car.
Please put the correct tail pipes on the car
👆 an lx with no tailpipes is just wrong
He did.
Like my dad always say, check the stupid stuff
Not bad at all but I need the whistling whining sound lol
That’s the only thing about most newer self contained ones. They just don’t have that aggressive gear drive sound and loud whistling like the older head units have.
@@CentralVAracer yea they do look up vortech v3 heritage package
Was this ever posted before?
We have the individual series videos posted from when we were doing this project, but we have put together the full video for those wanting to watch it without interruption :)
Seatbelt on the dyno lol
Im disappointed thats not alot of hp
If I’m only I had the money to do all of this 😪
Smog pump electrical connection lmfao!? What?
Geezuz Landon, that haircut is a bit severe.
So a cammed fourth gen LS F body makes more power than a supercharged Fox body that's crazy
Yeah i own one of these a 7 up one that i got for free these cars are overrated af and the stock 302 is too delicate they were fast for their day tho when i was younger
But weight tho these Foxbody make up for lack of power with how light they are
@Justin Gulbronson yeah not with the stock 5. Slows
@@neilbrown82 yup I love my 4th Gen but a well built fox will walk me. I’m HCI at 470whp right now so who knows
Who would've thought a modded, late model engine (LS) would make more HP than an engine that was discontinued 30 years ago? Apparently Neil does.
Or, and I'm saying this as someone that's had a few pushrod 302 mustangs in my life, save yourself the heartache, and take your time looking for a bone stock Coyote, or small LS. I just hate to see people throw so much money at an engine that's so wonderful, and sounds so incredible under 300hp rwh, but nobody stops there,, you get to 380, then want 400, then you want more, and end up with disaster, and regret, and a broken heart, because we all love our Fox body, and SN95's. until they're just a giant paperweight. You do you, just a suggestion. (edit-if you have a real Cobra, go for it! it's worth every penny you throw at it, imo).
You shaved
Dude changed the electors. Put cobra intake and throttle body and full exhaust change and fixed fuel pump after first dyno and then claims that charger made 118hp? Bs
If it went easy it wouldn't be a mustang
$4,700.00 for the kit and not even 400hp? Too much $$, there's cheaper horsepower out there. Plus, re-releasing a series of videos as a new video is lame.
So go buy the cheaper HP, anyone not a brokedick (aka not you) will drop the 6k to get a properly running centrifugal car.
You sound like a barrel of fun, Ed.
Wish you didn’t gloss over the mounting bracket. The vortech instructions are terrible for this part.
Throw that smog pump in the garbage!
LMAO. 375 horse. A Pontiac 400 stroked to 461 cubes puts out, naturally aspirated, and with a mild roller cam puts out just under 500 HP and 560 ft pounds of torque. And that's on pump gas. I love me a Fox Body but many engines can put out much more with less.
J Hutch yea just throw in a stroker crank, new rods, new cam, new carb. Not exactly a weekend project
@@truckfreak4537 Accept it is a weekend project. They sell the kits everyday.
This motor could be stroked to 363 and produce over 500 hp. But all things being equal, with enough $$$ you can make 500 hp with almost any car motor.
@@WillC299 wrong you cant punch out a 302 to a 363 . You would have to swap a 351 and punch it out to a 363.
Big brain logic here...
butt butt buttt really?
What a total waste of money go with a turbo kit people !!!I had this kit on my car I spent close to 3800 hundred dollars what a total waste… I put the whole kit together and my intake air temperatures were through the roof the belt kept on slipping it only made like 89 hp total waste of money…
I called- vortex to ask them question About my intake air temperatures and all they wanted to do was sell me a air to water cooler that was like $2000 more totally disgusted total waste …
Purchased a turbo kit never looked back at a supercharger ever again ..
Yeah I was really upset but life goes on sold the kit went with the turbo and making horsepower now I’m definitely not disappointed now. 668 rear wheel horsepower on 10 pounds of boost. Definitely a happy camper now. Turbo 7876 that turbo feels like a freaking freight train when it kicks in
Pffff... Smog Pump
I cant believe a reputable company like this would say to use scotch locks
