Thoughts on 18 Roush blower?

[Loki-GT]

The inlet hole is bigger than the throttle body so it's fine !

Sounds good to me, I'm not looking for insane numbers, a nice mid 10 1/4 and I'll be smiling.

Marcus, can you delve into the comment about the inlet being very small because of the lower hood. I find it hard to believe you could go with a bigger blower if it couldn't take in enough air.

Loki-GT,

When doing the math, the new 2.65L TB has a larger surface than the dual setup from the previous generation.

2015-17 = 5654mm2
2018+ = 5944mm2

We also check every factor including fitment. To meet our tolerances, we made the TB the size it is so there is no chance of rubbing on the hood.

Is there still an issue with the fuel rails for the 2018 Roush blower? I understand there was a recall and people were waiting for replacement parts.

The issue is being fixed. Some of us have received the rails. They said that the down cars get theirs first then they will work on replenishing the existing kits with the new fuel rails.

i see the stock pulley and e85 on a custom tune, making 700+ through the auto all day, maybe more like 750,

I'm willing to bet it can do that with pump gas (93). My car is very rich and safe, needs more timing

Understood, I couldn't imagine it being a problem considering the volume of them sold. ROUSH is on the short list for my next upgrade, I like the fact it won't interfere with my warranty if I find a good dealer that can do the install, sadly I don't see the one I bought the car from as one I would trust even though they sell ROUSH Mustang's.

Only one tech qualified to work on them, not ROUSH, Mustang's period, so next step is to research the right dealer.

Most dealers have one tech that is their go-to guy for supercharger installs. But if they only have one tech for mustangs all around and are not a certified installer, than I may search elsewhere as well. Have you checked out dealer locator for a list of ROUSH dealers?
