Question for guys who actually have the the Roush Kit

[hlfbkd420]

Anyone in this thread have a 2020 Roush Stage 3? I would love to see if the power train cooling package they added with an additional supercharger cooler, engine cooler, transmission cooler and differential cooler made big improvements overall and how it stacks up against a GT500. I would think power wise and performance should be very close.

I don't think anyone has one but unless they have a different intercooler for it, I wouldn't expect much better performance out of the blower. The heat exchanger isn't the problem. Its the intercooler mounted under the blower.

To my knowledge it’s not an additional heat exchanger but an actual auxiliary intercooler in the left or right front corner pocket so I’m assuming it should help a bit.

I think that's only on the Jack Roush addition

This I would love to see. If there is one, there has to be somewhat of an aftermarket.

The 2020 Stage 3’s have it standard too

I wonder if this is something that could be offered as a kit for non-Roush cars.

havebt heard that. Im not sure what they could use other than what is already available aftermarket like a chiller killer. In the video from tindal I watched they said differential and oil coolers. I know what a oil college is but what is a differential cooler?

anyways whatever extra cooling l they have should be available as an add-on I would think.

GT perf packs come with an oil cooler, GT350 & GT500 come with oil/diff/trans coolers.

Just wrapped up another Roush car. Added some hood struts from Steeda, some WeatherTech mats, and the Roush flags and hood decals for him. He was also able to get these badass door sills, that I hadn't seen before!

Finished securing my fuel rails on my personal car. The driver's side has interference between the standard bolt hole location and the blower's boost bypass valve. I had initially thought, before installing the head unit, that I could get away with a cylinder spacer that would get us from the intercooler brick up to the armature on the fuel rails. But once I'd hung the head unit, I realized the interference. So I bastardized a factory purge valve bracket and removed the mount from the front of the fuel rail, and then opted to use the unused bolt hole on the blower head unit vs the stock location (seen in photo 2, below the boost bypass valve). Fits like a glove, almost OEM+ like

Ran the return line outta the regulator, around the tubular k-member, built a small bracket with a spacer and used some dynamat to create a buffer where it touches the k-member itself. There's a provision on the Steeda unit for a bolt right there, so took advantage of that!

Side note: anyone going to a Steeda tubular k-member is going to have to make some changes to your passenger side lower coolant reservoir. It places the intercooler pump directly against their integrated tow hook, so I'm gonna create that solution tonight hopefully. I'm envisioning a slightly longer hose from the pump to the reservoir, moving the pump back out of the way of the tow hook, coupled with an offset bracket to attach to the existing factory pump bracket anf the pump at its new location.

For an otherwise stock Roush blower car, I believe these to be the only real modifications necessary to install the VMP triple pass heat exchanger system with their dual fans.

I hung the heat exchanger, made some revisions to the passenger side coolant hose from the Roush kit (cut about 5" off), soldered the correct plug end onto their wiring harness that is included in the kit (removed existing Roush intercooler pump harness), and then made the line on the driver's side route to the bottom of the heat exchanger on the driver's side. Of course their wiring harness includes relays, fuses, power, ground and accessory power - so had to secure those up. But other than that, I think that's all that's gonna be needed for anyone with a standard Roush car looking to add the VMP unit.

I went ahead and added a coolant reservoir overflow tank.

If you're doing any serious racing, our factory coolant reservoirs aren't up to tech standards. There's a vent in the fill neck and that'll puke coolant if the system gets pressurized / overheats, thus getting coolant on track and on your rear tires potentially. No bueno.

We install a lot of the UPR and Mishimoto coolant reservoirs and they have the provisions for running a coolant overflow like I made today. I used a UPR coolant overflow tank kit and mounted behind driver's side of the bumper. I relocated my horns and rotated them accordingly to clear my canister. I then used an existing hole in the frame, which I tapped for a factory M8x1.25 bolt, and then drilled the second hole and tapped it as well. Hung the bracket with factory hardware, and ran the overflow line to the top of it

In case you hadn’t seen this. He has the killer chiller and I’m not sure what else:

Thanks for sharing my vid bro! So to give some clarification phase 1 tube, stock fuel system 93; 20' wheels just nitto NT555R2 on rear (drag setup is at home), cats still present (for now). 2nd and 3rd run couldn't do a burn out thats when the fuel issue was happening as well. Just installed a bap though. Next will be longtubes (catless) and then ill go custom tune. I just wanted to break into the 10s before adding more things. Sub the channel, more content coming. Any questions let me know.

@Fx2beast Killer 60’ on the 20” 555r2. What size are they?
