another twisted idea that most likely will not happen.

[Ear Rak]

so i was sitting and pondering while looking at used s/c's for my car and thought of the lightning and what it would take to adapt the supercharger from the truck to my car. i know it will physically bolt up...but what would be involved.

new ecu/harness/pulleys/internals/fuel system? anyone ever thought of doing this?

just wondering cause there's an NOS (thats new old stock, not ricer juice) lightning supercharger on ebay for 1500 bucks.

dont even try that wayyyy too much money erik, just spray the shit out of the car wiht a 100 shot, that will keep you satisfied for the rest of the summer.

too much work.

 

[hj16]

too much work.

+1, Ive seen it done, but its a HUGE PITA

 

[Ear Rak]

damn...just thought it would be a cool idea

 

[CobraSusie]

too much work.

We both know this :biggthump

don't do it Eric, not worth the time/money

 

[Unoid]

And I thought putting my 99 Lightning engine after I totaled the truck into a 99cobra body... sounds cool until you really think about it lol.

get a vortech or procharger it will probally be cheeper in the long run

yep, thats GET-R-DONE engineering.....hey by the time we get done with project redline, it will be around 18 psi of boost...haha boost something you wouldn't no much about..... :argue:

Funny. I have an m112 on my v6 Stang.

Truthfully. Adapting something like that is way more work than you can imagine. I've got hundreds of hours into my setup including design and mechanical. Why did I do it? Because I now have something that is one of a kind. An m112 on a v8 has already been done. Unless you're the type of person that understands this kind of undertaking and the results, I say go procharger or buy a Cobra.IMHO

 

[slow4.6]

go with some head work, cams, some spray :burnout:

Custom projects are really cool and nice but they will get expensive VERY VERY quick! Let alone all the custom fabbing that goes into it all. It has taken me 2+ years of planning for my custom one-off project for the Explorer and I still hit a snag or two. I can vouch for that when your going custom that you should allot a real worls amount of money that you would be willing to spend and then multiply that firgure times 2.5 to get what you just might have to end up spending. hehe.

It takes time too, like CDR Stang said. I took one full month off of work to do the KB on the Explorer and working off and on it took me that full month to complete it. Of course, some of that time was taken up ordering & waiting on parts that I didn't realize I would need (damn alternators!).

You would be much better served finding a used Vortech S trim kit and dropping it in your engine bay. And yes, spray does get expensive quick! Anyone got a remote bottle opener they wanna give me? :biggthump
