ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[Pistol_91]

I’m fairly new to this hobby still, literally the only mechanical things I’ve done myself to this car was an oil change, air filter change, and drilling in a splitter myself. Have literally no experience with much else

Then it'll be your biggest job, but as we all have stated, it's not hard and straight forward. If you can turn a wrench and read directions. You'll be golden.

Just ordered my kit, doing g2/g3 intercooler, bap, gt500 injectors, tial bov, what spark plugs and oil should I run? Are there any spark plugs that come pre gapped? Trying to keep it simple as I’ve never done any of this work

Ask your tuner for the plugs. A 5w50 oil for boost.

100% on both.

Your tuner will tell you the plugs and what to gap them at.

Is it important that I get the dual inlet breather tank?

Yes that is the correct belt

im in the middle of my install. i have this updated belt as well. it seemed awfully easy to slip on. does this sound right?

Well everything arrives for me tomorrow. Going to attempt the kit , spark plugs, injectors, bap… all while never doing anytning more than an oil change on my car. This will be an experience for sure

Well if you need help along the way you know where to post to.

Honestly the hardest part (for me) was fitting the passenger side intercooler pipe, getting the #4 spark plug out, and figuring out some of the vacuum lines (2015, and I didnt want to mess with the brake booster line).

But this page is very helpful and people usually respond quite quickly to questions.

Cool, I’ve glanced at the instructions and it kind of loses me when it doesn’t show detailed imagery and just has the wording, as I don’t know mechanics well enough to figure it out without a good guide or video. I might bite off more than I can chew here but yolo. One step at a time I guess

Yeah its surprising that with youtube videos for literally everything, there is not really a great one for this install.

I always suggest take tons of pictures as you go.

Have you ever done spark plugs before? If you haven't just be careful, mainly when loosening the stock ones up. They're in there pretty tight. It's all aluminum so you can cross thread them fairly easy if you aren't square with the ratchet.

Never done them but it seems pretty simple besides #4. Is there a recommended order to do things btw or is it just do anything in any order you want before finishing, since theres a lot more steps besides just the kit itself? (spark plugs, injectors, oil change, loading the tune, bap, etc)

Also, if your drilling into the body to attach the BAP make sure you get a good stuby center drill. It will make this job 100x easier as this metal is extremely hard to drill.

No specific order. None of them should interfere with the next task very much. I think I always did imrc lock out/injectors first, then supercharger, then plugs, then bap but it shouldn't matter.
