I wonder if this setup would work on a 2001-Saleen, I would go the non -intercooled,, what would be the diff other then HP?
If you have the N/A saleen then there wont be any differences except you will need to swap your saleen underdrive pulleys for some off a stock GT. Im pretty sure there wont be much power differences. If you have the saleen supercharged then you would have to convert your motor to stock GT specs, but I dont see why you would really want to do that....

Many many people have been asking me how I got my supercharger kit for less than $1500. Well, this is how its done. Please make this a sticky.
Even if you dont have an 00-04 you can still get it done just as cheap. I have just quoted prices for a non-intercooled Vortech setup. Search through http://www.superchargersonline.com and you can find prices for different makes and models. I do not work for them but they just have good service and they helped me build my kit.
This is a list of parts youll need to buy.
Vortech Bracket Assembly $289 http://www.superchargersonline.com/product_detail.asp?PartNumber=V4FL111-031 includes: 3/8-16 x 1-3/4" HXHD G8 3/8" AN960 Flat Washers Belt, K061080-Gatesd Saleen Mach, 2000 GT Mtg. Brkt 8mm x 1.25 x 65 Soc 8mm x1.25 x 140 HXH 5/16 AN-Washer 6mm x 1.0 x 50mm HXHD Zinc 8mm x 1.25 x 25 HXHD Radiator Pipe-Stnlss #24 Gold Seal Hose C Adel Clamp, 3/4' ID 10-24 x 1/2 Soc HD Cap, Zinc Plt #10 Flat Washer 10mm x 1.50 x 140 Hex Head 10mm Washer, Zinc Plated 10mm x 1.5 x 65 Bolt, SHCS #8 x 3/4 Sheet Metal 2000 2V Idler Ply Assy. Idler Plt Assy, 2V GEN3 Idler Pulley, 6Rib 3" Flangd Dust Cover (Idler Pulley) 12mm x 1.75 x 20mm Pld Spacer, Idler Plate 2V G3 3/8-16 x G8 HXHD 1/4 SAE Washer, Pltd M8 x 1.25 x 140 Bolt
Vortech Discharge Assembly $189 http://www.superchargersonline.com/product_detail.asp?PartNumber=V4FH112-020 includes: Discharge Tube 3" x 2" Sleeve 2-3/4" x 2" Sleeve #44 Hose Clamps #48 Hose Clamps #16 Hose Clamps Bosch Bypass Valve 1" x 3.5" Heater Hose 1" x 13.5" Heater Hose 5/32" x 52" Vacuum Line 5/32" TEE 1" Hose Union 1" x 90 Degree Rubber Elbow
Vortech Air Intake Assembly $204 http://www.superchargersonline.com/product_detail.asp?PartNumber=V4FH112-010 includes: 90 Degree Intake Elbow MAF Meter Bracket Assembly (be sure to order the correct size if you are using a 90mm MAF) #56 Hose Clamps 3-1/2" x 2" Sleeve 3-1/2" x 9" Flex Hose #52 Hose Clamps Air Filter 1/4-20 x 3/4" SHCS 1/4-20 Nylock Nuts 1/4"SAE Washers Inlet Elbow 3/4" NPT x 1" Hose Fitting 5/8" x 48" Hose 3/4" x 27" Hose 7/16" Rubber Grommet 5/8" Barb
That is cost for EVERY single item you need to put a Vortech S, SQ, or T trim on your 2000-2004 Mustang GT. Only thing left to buy is the head unit. They are fairly easy to find if you search Ebay, SVTperformance.com, or Corral.net . A used S-trim sells between $400-800 depending on assumed mileage and condition. I bought mine for $700 with discharge pipe and intake. If you want a new head unit they cost $1849 for a brand new satin V-1 s-trim. A used head unit WILL be alot cheaper and perform just as well. Even if the unit needs a rebuild, the cost is about $350 from vortech or you can find some performance shops that can do it for around $100. Mine was in great condition when I picked it up from a guy on Ebay. Even bieng a 6 year old head unit it had no shaft play and seems to be in perfect condition.
If you find a head unit for $600, add the cost of the hardware ($727) and this comes out to $1327 for a COMPLETE vortech s-trim setup every part new but the head unit and fuel injectors. Even if you paid say $800 it would just come out to $1527 before tax and shipping. 96-98 models with the return style fuel system will need a FuelManagementUnit also.
Install takes a full days work to get it done right. Anyone with general knowledge of removing and installing bolts on the front of the timing cover, removing the belt, using a pipe tap, and swapping non-pressed pullies can perform this install.
I went with an Ebay intercooler and found BTI piping from a guy on Ebay so my install was a little easier.
Non-intercooled setups will make around 350-370whp on 8psi. Intercooled setups can make 370-390whp on 8psi and over 400whp on 10psi with supporting mods on a 99-04 GT.
Dam i bet it took a long ass time to type all that ****. Very nice by the way.

im pretty positive that would work just fine. You may need to buy a little different silicon couplers if the discharge pipe isnt perfectly aligned. You could make it work.

frostbit, so with my Saleen everything you have listed wwould work but I would have to change the underdrive pulleys to stock GT, Correct, Is there any other items I would need? gears? Im at 3:55? , Plugs, fule pump, injectors.. I suppose if you call them they will tell you everything needed. I just dont want to under-cover or over kill.
I have o/r H pipes and a JLT CIA plus a SCT2 tune now. a lame 250 HP is all im getting but im at 5300 feet

Only other things you will need that arent included in the parts list are new spark plugs (NGK TR6), 42# injectors, most likely a 90mm MAF meter, and its recommended you install an SVT Focus fuel pump. You can sell your JLT CAI to make up for some cash and use your SCT2 when you go to have it dyno tuned. 250whp isnt too bad for your mods.....

If there is anything you cant find on the website, just give them a call and im sure they can find it for you. Tony will probably answer the phone and if he doesnt have the answers, he'll call vortech and get it for you.....

Hey great write up man, im young and low on cash and this makes getting a supercharger realistic for me. I have a 99 Mustang GT aniversy edition or whatever. My car has around 80k on it, it runs strong as hell but i just wanna make sure this isnt to many miles to throw a supercharger on right? id just run 8psi w/o the intercooler. Will this shorten my motor life allot? My dad has restored allot of cars, and knows allot about cars but has never messed with superchargers, will me and him still be able to put this on my car? One more thing, will i be able to keep my stock gears and clutch in till i save up some more money to change those out? if you could answer those questions for me thatd be great. Thanks, Joey

Thanks, this was the only way I could afford one while still in school. Mine had 90k on it when I installed the blower. I have put around 30k on it since then and Mine still runs like new. I have been also running 8psi non-intercooled until just recently. Make sure you have a good tune and im sure you will have no problems. Every now and then youll have some people blow their motors, but usually its either driver error, bad tune, or too much power. 8psi non cooled will get you about 350-360whp and thats very safe. The reliable limit is around 420whp. With 350whp, I ran right next to a stock 03 cobra neither car pulled on the other. The GT's have a nice weight advantage. You and your dad can definately install the kit. I did it by myself in a parking lot. The hardest thing is getting the belt on around the supercharger. Took me all day but was well worth it. Your stock gears will be fine, but youll see huge low end improvements with steeper gears like 3:73's. The stock clutch can handle some decent power. You wont have any problem with it. Just start buying the pieces for it one at a time and before you know it, youll have the whole kit sitting on the floor......

Oh yea if anyone is serious about doing this, I have a complete air intake assembly im not using. Id take $40+ shipping for it. Its well used, but works. It has the 80mm MAF bracket though, so if your using a lightning MAF you might want to order a 90mm bracket. Comes with filter, MAF bracket, plastic elbow, flex hose, plastic intake tube, and all couplers with clamps.....

Thanks for the reply, now you got me itching to get some money put together and do this lol! Your talking about a good dyno tune right? how much does that usually cost? I gotta get myself a job at a local factory for the summer and asap!
oh and yeah i would plan on getting a intercooler, gears, and possibly upgrade the clutch a few months later or something but i just wanna get a supercharger on this thing and soon.
If you come across any used superchargers that would work for this, send me a link so i can get some ideas of what to expect
how about in the 1989-1993 mustangs....what size injectors would you use on the 5.0's?what size fuel pump?.....would everything be the same as you describe for the 00-04 ???
