2018 ROUSH PHASE 2 HEATSOAK

[Schuvwj]

You need to buy the Fusion app to go along with it..Then you will see them available and can mark them to come up on your phone.

Thank you for your help!

On my Roush there is a Roush installed ODB cable that is connected to my port all the time. See photo.
Does anyone know what this cable does?
I’ve disconnected it and started my car. No difference running while in park. I’m not comfortable driving it until I find out what Roush is reading with cable.

Also my OBD reader doesn’t read while connected to the back of this connector.
To get the reader to work I must remove this cable from the cars OBD port.

Call Roush and ask them. Thats what I did when I had a update that wouldnt update from Ford. I called them or a dealership that is authorized dealer.

I’m going to try this “Y” connector.
Hoping the OBD reader will work and the Roush cable will do what ever it does!

Hey Mustang fam,

Wanted to describe my situation and ask if the route im going is the right one.

I live in Florida. It gets pretty hot here.
One evening a few weeks back I got what seems to be heat soak. The temps were high. There was no power to the blower in high speeds. Even got beat by a stock scat pack… mine is a pp1 premium with the roush phase 2.
A-lot of people are advising me to go chiller kit. I was very surprised when this happened and the mopar guy was aswell. I have noticed a few times the power not being there when im getting on it even after driving the car for only 10-15 min.

I have an option to purchase the IC chiller kit. People have been stating they are good and will get rid of my heat soak issues.

now my car doesnt have any other upgrades besides the supercharger and stock tune. I bought it like this and dont have a tuner etc.
it is a magnaride car aswell with stock suspension.

For the IC chiller people, has this fixed your issue? For 2k I am hesitant and want to make sure .

also any other things I should be planning to pick up besides the obvious drag wheels and tires?
I do have active exhaust so want to avoid obnoxiously loud headers and expensive ones.

I had a Phase 2 blower set up on a 2021 and i went with ROUSH's MAX MOD COOLING KIT, it dramatically decreased heat soak.

Do you loose your cabin AC while using it for blower cooling?
I don’t drag this car, stock Roush tune and it’s my daily driver.
So cabin AC is a necessity in Florida.

Nope, i had functional A.c. after install. The dealer installed the kit it along with the Phase 2 blower. Stock roush tune, no issues. The only prb that i had with that car was blowing drivers side CATS. I will never understand that because the stock ROUSH tune is super conservative.

Thats for the OBD dongle to set up your exhaust from an app that Roush offered as an option. I have one as well.

Yes it is, thank you!

I just got off the phone from Roush and they said the OBD cable is for the active exhaust system.
Unplugging the cable would only disable my capability to change and/or program this system.
