greaser Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 some one has to know how to fit the gt500 supercharger to the 4.6 when they go this cheap it sure makes it hard to resist. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUSTANG-SUP...%3A1|240%3A1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srk1959 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have brought it up on numerous boards. Whoever would come up with a kit minus the S/C could sell a bunch. The Roush Tvs kit for the 4.6 would work since the Tvs and the stock s/c are a direct bolt up. They won't sell the kit without the s/c as far as I know. Its too bad since I will have 2 like new GT500 s/c's and a Bullitt that needs more power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've drooled over the possibility everytime I see one of the stock Eatons on Craigslist or eBay. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greaser Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 maybe we should just swap a 5.4 into our cars lol why does it have to be so hard hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorjock205 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 maybe we should just swap a 5.4 into our cars lolwhy does it have to be so hard hahaha Nah, 5.4 is too heavy, but I do like the idea of being able to put a GT500 blower on the 4.6...SOMEONE has to have a way to figure this out and be able to provide us a kit...sure would be nice!

68fastback Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Unfortunately the deal that was cut by Ford/FRPP was TVS for the GT500 and Whipple for the GT. Believe me, the FRPP guys back in 2006 wanted the TVS to be available for both but, for reasons that shall remain unstated, it's unlikely that's going to happen, imo. Too bad since the TVS on the 4.6 would be outstanding! If I had a 4.6 GT I'd get the Roush in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMORINE Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 well since im always up for experimenting plus im an aircraft mechanic...... i might be able to whip something up. i need to get my hands on a take off tvs first though. any one got an ebay link? i'll think about tackling this thing, i have to get brake lines and cooling, kits put in first plus whatever else i need before racing season kicks off for me. wouldnt be too terribly difficult, the biggest issue i could see would be getting the right flow control. we could weld up an aluminum one with out much problem.

mikewheels Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've seen twin blown new Challengers and Lightnings so anythings possible. Seems like machining an adapter plate to fit the blower to the 4.6 intake and then the proper assorted related bits and you'd be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08shelbygt/superbee Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Just curious but would one of these work on say a 2008 lincoln navigator? It has a 5.4 but I'm not sure if it's the same as the shelby gt500...My wife has the navigator and it is very underpowered with a 5.4 in a 6,000lb suv...I'm not looking for a drag race navigator but a little more take off power would be nice...

socalwrench Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm sure you could get the SC to bolt on to the engine (5.4L is a stroked 4.6L- all in the modular family). The trick would be getting the fuel map correct. Unless you can also get a GT500 ECU, you'd be looking for a custom tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewheels Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Ford Racing has a stand alone wiring harness and computer for doing swaps like this I thought? I just got the new catalog, I thought I saw it listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I believe the 5.4 is actually a diff block ...high-deck modular vs low-deck 4.6 ...analygous to the old 351 high-decks compared to the 260/289/302 low-decks -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 oh lol well im not really knowledgeable on the gt500. whats the sc they come with? Eaton 122H gen-5 is stock on GT500. TVS is a high-helix gen-6 Eaton. Both are roots types and bolt-compatible but very different internal design. The stocker is a 60* twist with 3-3-lobe rotors and the TVS is 160* twist with 4-4 lobe rotors and also considerably more efficient ...arguably the most efficient fixed-displacement SC ever produced -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
