Force Fed V-8

[ThatShoGuy]

Here are the pics of the lower risers. I will try to post pics tonight of it installed on the car. I've been fighting with my powdercoating colors the past couple nights for the other pieces. The silver vein was too dark, and the antique grey was too blue-ish. I may end up end just doing a hammered finish on it and calling it a day.

ok i understand how these work and were they go... i was hoping for pics of all the custom intake parts????

Doug at FPS designed the kit to start off with. All parts were designed by him and his machinist, so I cannot take any credit for the parts. IIRC, the path to the heads still have their separate paths from the intake. Be it the SHO, or any other vehicle. I know Eric's intake houses his injectors and such, all mine has is inserts for the bolts that hold it down. So once the air leaves the blower it winds down the elbow in the upper intake. Now we are know the SHOs are famous for thier runners, surge tanks, secondaries, etc. Once my pedal is mashed, the secondaries open all the way. There are none closed like normal up til 3400 rpms. Mine are kicking full force when I hit the go pedal. So, each chamber is pulling air flow down at the same time. And thats the idea of the spacers I pictured. I can see why you asked the question, and perhaps Doug or Eric will chime in also to verify, add or correct my logic here. I know on my trucks, it's basically the same way. Only difference on the L is it passes thru an interccoler then into the valleys and on my big truck, it passes thru the upper intake, kinda like the SHOs, with each individual runner:


Its hard to see on the Lightning, but the valleys are in the sides of the upper intake. There are no runners so to speak of.:

I guess you could think of that upper intake now as a surge tank, minus the runners. Hope this helps. :wave:

but none of this even looks like a sho the engine compartment nothing??? what gives

Uh.....did you not see the pics I posted of the car on the first page?? They were all installed in one pic and then I had a pic of them after I cleaned them up off the car. The only stock parts were the T/B and IAC elbow. The rest were s/c parts and components. The pics of the 4.6/5.4 motors were referring to what I was talking about for having an open top intake vs. one with runners. Did you overlook that part of my reply to Nick?? I was simply giving pics of what I had been describing to him. He asked a good question, so I had responded. Then, to help clarify things, I added the pics to go along with it since I had them on file from working on my trucks. Sorry if I confused ya bro.

yea i did over look that... hmmm owell..


but the pics i was really askin about is seeing the lower intake all installed with injectors and that "box" upper intake off, and possible a pic of the other side of it?

Gotcha! I'll get some pics tonight of the components and try to post them on here for ya. I'm ready to slap this thing back together and get her on the road. Doug, if you are reading this, chop chop buddy

Here are some pics bro. Hope this is what you are looking for. The upper and lower pics of the new intake, updated fuel rail with 42# injectors, the billet risers, and what it would look like installed. I need to bolt it down after I get the blower snout fixed and then she'll be ready to go. :woo-hoo:

 

[expy916]

SHO U UP, yes, no?

I think the Ford blower he has pictured is the one he installed on the V8 SHO off of the Lightning correct? So I would guess it's probably not for sale.

 

[ThatShoGuy]

thanks sho up


JUST WHAT I WANTED!!! this set up looks very simple and looks like it would be easy to reproduce!


do up know what had to be done to the lower intake to make thos injectors fit?

 

[SHODWN]

AWESOME ****!

Want some BBB's for the car? Im surprised that the intake holes werent opened up. That plenum is awesome!

I have my orginal BBB manifold that has the secondaries opened I think 4mm, and the injector holes are adjusted to accomodate the same old fat body injector that Doug stuck in there. Mine were just 24lbs instead of the 48's for your system.

Its not going anywhere so it will be here.

I don't think the SVT SC is on the car.. I was trying to see earlier.. and the colors are not right and the Ford emblem or the SVT text is not on it.. so I don't think so.. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

 

[SHO U UP]

SHO U UP, yes, no?

Hey Expy916, that particular blower is already sold. I have another one just like once I install the Whipple on the Lightning. You needing one??

I think the Ford blower he has pictured is the one he installed on the V8 SHO off of the Lightning correct? So I would guess it's probably not for sale.

That Ford blower is NOT for the SHO. That one is a M112, the one on the SHO is a m90. A big difference in size and the way the outlet is. Good luck fitting that thing on a V-8 SHO. Even though Eric said he's gonna tackle it. You are THE man if you can make that beast fit on there Eric.

thanks sho up

It does look fairly simple now that I look at it, just the getting started part I feel would be the major obstacle. I haven't taken off the LIM currently, but to make the injectors fit I would imagine the holes had to milled to fit them. I had another ported set of BBBs here when I first got my original s/c set up like Carter has but never used them. Doug wanted to start with all the parts on his end. And actually, I have the original whole damn set up with Powerdyne and all with me. You guys wanna make an offer on it?

Thanks Kirk! Let me look again at the LIM on the car and the one I have with me from SHOFast of yesteryears. I know the heads were re-worked I'm pretty sure and I thought the LIM was done too. I'll compare to the other one I have and see. Thanks for the offer brother, I do appreciate it.

 

[SHODWN]

if it came from SHOfast then your ok, I built all of them.

 

[NebraskaSHO]

Now I see what you meant by having the fuel rail modified.

 

[ALL4SHO2]

Thats looks really good. It does look like it would be easy to copy, but thats easier said than done. Looks awesome

OK fellas, quick update between innings and homework. My parts FINALLY arrived today. Holy crap, it has taken forever but the blower is back together with all new internals. The sealant is setting overnight and the paint is drying. I'll slap on the rest of it (I hope) tomorrow night. After seeing it back together I cannot help but to notice how small that blower really is. I'll post up pics and all real soon. Can't wait to get it back on the road and get my Gen 4 in the garage next for some "tinkering." ****

Heres a quick update fellas so I can get my school work done. Got a lot of college stuff due by Sunday but the car is up and operational for the most part. After hopefully fixing the intake leak (that caused a really high pitched whine) everything else sounded normal. I need to tighten down with another clamp the extra fuel line going into the rail as it is now dripping a little bit of fuel after shut down. Blower does sound kinda rough but the bearings are all new so maybe the M90 makes that sound at idle. I don't know. I do know it whines like a Cobra (or Lightning in my case) when you mash the throttle. Simply wicked!! Right from the passenger side of the cabin. Ain't no 2010 SHO gonna have that rumble and whine guys. Nothing beats a V-8 sound, no matter how small the displacement is. I suppose my 3" catback also helps with the kick ass sound erupting from the Magnaflow mufflers/tips. The meth kit is installed but I have not tested the system thus far. I have a trunk mount kit to help take up less engine area. As if there's any room under there anyway. All 4 of my gauges work perfectly and I will remove the hood this weekend and install my carbon fiber cowl hood. Here are a few pics of the finished product. I need to move the boost line somewhere else & then I think I'm done with under the hood. And to get an idea of how tiny the M90 is and to the folks who think they can fit a larger blower under the hood, take a look at its much bigger brother. Some folks asked me about the sizes of the blowers I have here. And since I have a variety of them I figured I can share. The Whipple is a 3.4 210ci monster blower. You can view the outlets on the back side of both blowers and see the difference. I don't have the specs of an M90, but I would guess 1.2 maybe?? If someone knows, please fill me in. Nonetheless, the M90 is a perfect match for the V-8 SHO I feel. I'm going to fool with the SCT also this weekend and I'll hit the dyno shortly to get hp numbers for everyone. Thanks goodness its 48 degrees outside and will be getting colder. That lil' blower makes a butt load of heat. Enjoy the pics!!!
