Super Charge it
HEY, I have a question. I had a 99 F-150. I placed a ford motorsport supercharger on and it ran sweet. well I sold the truck and still have the S/C. I was wondering if my Rex would handle 6lbs of boost. All I need to do is get a mount plate and some hose conversions. anyone have any Ideas.

Alright, I know quite a bit about this area (Ford supercharging), what kit number did you use? Centrifugal or positive displacement? With this info, I can tell you everything you need to know.

It won't be that hard than. A custom mounting bracket would be the first step, and the most difficult.
Then pullies....
Need that kit number for exact details.

Alright, I'll figure out some stuff for you later and post it for you.
Yes, you would need to run premium.
7UP, I'll see what I can do for you too. How does the belt drive sound?

Alright. The info I have received for the kit is relatively basic, but so is the kit.
Kit was to be fitted to a 4.6L or 5.4L Modular motor.
Kit uses a normal Ford racing centrifugal s/c, which means installation would be simplified by a lack of having to supply oil feed and drain lines.
The mounting plate is a single, and looks like it should be easy enough for you to modify via cutting and driling to mount to an RX7.
Fitment of the FMU would be the most critical. I doubt any of the supplied lines would plumb into the provided hardware.
Mounting of the pullies could prose a problem, it would be imperative that they be perfectly aligned.
Simply cutting the provided hoses should allow you to make it from the s/c to the TB, otherwise, a simple pipe could be welded from exhaust.
Make sure the S/c draws through the AFM, and doesn't blow through it.
Don't rev too high until you get the engine checked out on a dyno (for running lean).
Upgraded fuel pump, like a walbro or the likes would be a must.
I think that is it for now....
I really wish I could see the kit assembled!

What else you got on the stang? I know quite a bit about them. (Actually, a whole **** load).
Basically, just copy the setup that existed on the mustang.

Did 5.0 t-birds come stock with chargers? I don't think so, but I know some of the 3.8L did.
If the T-bird is using a centrifugal unit, it will be as easy as it would be for the above two. Mounting it would be the hardest part.
If it is a positive displacement (screw type) blower, like was used OEM on the 3.8L's, count on a lot more work, such as having to set up a custom welded intake manifold.

"What's this going to do to the seals...?
"
It's a gonna make them SQUEALS.
(sorry)
It'll bring them to thier end quite in a hurry.
So I hope they are sound, and you'll get SOME time outta the engine.
I recommend 3mm seals before doing this to an NA engine.

Well, that's not true at all. Why don't you ask some of the members who have supercharged rexes? MadMaxine, for one....
3mm seals would only be a prevention for detonation from lack of fuel or too much boost with inercooling or aftercooling.
And the seals won't wear out any quicker than they would on a TII making similar horsepower.

Just to make me feel better, can you tell me why not?

Why they won't come to thier end in a hurry? Better question is why would they? They're made from the same materials as the TII seals, and those seals are fine for 8 psi and 150,000 miles.
Add 5 or 6 psi to a NA, why would the seals be so short lived?

Sean thanks. I have no idea were to get the pump, but I will find one. On my ford we did not need to change the pump. would it pose too much of a problem if I ran it w/o for a while. also I can take a couple of pics and send them if you want. also what side would be the best to mount on. there is a lot of room on the drivers side. but not much to mount to.
Stevo
And WHAT?!?!? That truck coudnt get outta its OWN way!!! It lost to my $1500.00 Chevelle!!!
Jrat you got lucky. I did not see the light turn.

Mount it wherever you like, whatever is easiest. I would mount it on the drivers side so that I could easily add a FMIC or a/c later.
As for the pump, try a walbro. Cheap enough; just replaces the stock one.

here's the pump for $135
This is basically the install.

Pics would help a great deal.
