Tired of GTs kicking sand in your face? Do you have several thousand dollars laying around your house? Well Explorer Express might have the answer for you. My inside source tells me the company is close to making a blower for the 2005+ Mustang V6. It sounds like an Eaton M90 with 6 psi with 91 octane or 8 psi with 94 octane. No intercooler with this kit. I'm guessing the kit will cost around $4000, based on the price of other kits. I'm guess 250 rwhp at 6 psi and 275 rwhp with 8 psi. 8 psi should put you dead even a GT. The blower is a real possibility, everything else is speculation.

 

Everything is great, but the price you're guessing may be to high, at least I hope it's a high guess.
I would hold of on a blower for a few yrs anyway, but good to see some good things popping up for our 6's.

 

The price concerns me. When you add labor, you could buy a GT for similar money. Nice to know it will be out there.

 

Why not perform an enginge transplant for that amount of money

 

Is that rearwheel HP?? Sounds kinda expensive for 250 HP, I am at around 205 with my bolt on's.

 

If I had an extra $4 grand laying around, I would have def gotten a GT.

 

What bolt on's do you have?

 

For the additional money may as well by the GT. I have a V6 but I have no intention of having it look or perform as a GT.

 

Not everyones reason for gettin the v6 over the gt is the cost of the vehicle. For me it would have been $78 more a month to get the GT but an additional $190 in insurance a month ($208 to $398) and thats with a perfect driving record since i got my license (6 years).

 

I hear that! My reasoning also!

 

The estimates are rear wheel HP (rwhp). The big thing is the 295 lbs of torque with 8 psi at the wheels. A cam and headwork might get me a streetable 30-40 rwhp, but not much torque. 205 rwhp with bolt-ons is solid, what was your stock horsepower? I guess you could avoid insurance costs and get the same performance as a GT with a V6 and a blower. My thinking, if I buy a V6 and I wanted to upgrade the power, what options are available. I usually keep my cars for along time and probably wouldn't trade-in for some extra power. The engine swap sounds good, but I don't know what kind of engine I could get installed for around $4000.

 

i cant believe it will cost that much, kits for 99-04 v6 mustangs with reman. m90s are $1700.

in case you wanted a link to it

 

This is funny, I do the tuning for their SOHC kits for the Explorer's and Ranger's and I haven't even heard of this yet???


Sounds like its time to make some phone calls, hahaha...

Doug.

 

phone calls followed by posts

 

Tell Dave you heard it from his unoffical mouth piece.

 

Cool link, but those are rebuilt blowers. The stuff I'm talking about is new. Here's a link:

The Ranger kits are around $4000, I'm guessing $3,999.99 for Stang. Once again pure speculation. I'm pretty sure a new M90 will cost around $3000, so with odds and ends closer to $4,000. Maybe you could buy a rebuilt blower and buy the accessories from Explorer Express. The hard part is the intake manifold.

 

Rebuilt is just as good usually, sometimes better. And i've seen brand new M90's for $1400, not $3000.

 

Not arguing the quality of a rebuilt blower just the price difference between rebuilt and new. Did you check the Explorer link? I'm looking EE's current prices for blower kits. EE does not have a core requirement. Do you have a link showing new M90s for $1,400? Here's a link I was using to estimate new blower prices:

I looked at the New Age Tuning site again. $1,700 gets you a rebuilt blower, but you have to provide cores, like a M90 blower. A new blower adds $1,299 to the $1,700 base price and still requires cores. That's $3,000 plus a cores. I'm sorry if I missed something.

 

if i needed a core id just go on ebay and buy one for $250
