Save up a little extra and buy a Gen V from Ed Morad! They usually go for $700-900 depending on his supply and the demand of customers.

 

This is really the last mod I should be doing to the GP. So, I'm not really interested in the Gen V, but that really isn't a bad deal.

I am looking for a lx coupe mustang to start modding because it's somewhat simpler to deal with and I've been planning a HUGE project for a while now. I found a great deal from a friends dealership that I am looking into. Thanx for the info though bro. <--- Didn't mean for it to rhyme like it did lol

 

i bought w-body store ported supercharger. i did noticed a little difference in power but nothing to much. but that could also be that im already maxing out my gen 3 m90 cuz i got a sub 2.6. the main reason i got mine ported was for my new throttle body that i got

 

I have a '97 GP too bro and I just remembered INTENSE won't work on that year M90 because the vacuum hoses have to b re-routed or something of that nature. Looks like I only have 2 options now. I was leaning more towards INTENSE though because out of everyone they have the best customer service availabe so far. Well, I'm def. going to look more into the w-body store's offer.

Thanx for the info guys and keep em coming! :biggthump :new_rainf

 

i had to modify my blower housing when i got it from w-body. the vacuum tree hole wasnt on the new 1. and since i have access to alot of machines i jsut drilled it out and it works perfectly

 

Would you by any chance have a pic or example of the vacum tree hole that you're talking about?

 

What else do you have done to the car as of right now? I had an Intense ported one and never had any problems with it. I also second what Scott said and go with the Gen V. Their is alot of info on the Gen V floating around somewhere on here, I belive someone did a back to back dyno test (before and after a Gen V swap) and they gained around 20 whp.

 

I have a ZZP Stage IV ported blower and though it's a good system and the port job was excellent, if I did it all over again, I would have gotten the Gen V.

 

Isn't there a lot of other things that would need to be done if you are swapping out blowers to a Gen V? Or is it simply just swap the blower and you're good 2 go?

 

For the most part it's just swapping the blower and you're good to go if you have everything you need. You will need a different LIM to match the Gen V, and you will need a throttle body adapter. Those are the main components you will need. There's a ton of information on Gen V swaps here, mine took me about 3 or 4 hours to do and it was well worth it. You cannot beat the sound of a Gen V. Just do a search and you'll find everything you'll need to know.

 

Appreciate the info guys. It really does sound like a good idea to just go with the Gen V but like I said that's not what I'm interested in. So far I'm leaning towards W-body stores ported M90 blowers. Any other recommendations are highly welcomed though. :icon_razz

 

A stock Gen V is better than the best ported Gen III........ Then you have the option of getting the Gen V ported as well. Its not that much more $$$$ but alot more power, and one hell of a sick sound!:icon_eek: If you say it is the last mod for the GTP, make it well worth it, right?
All you need is a Gen V blower, L32 lower intake manifold (or you can modify a Gen III LIM), make sure you have the correct bolts (3 of them are different than Gen III bolts), whatever throttle body adaptor you need, a lower intake gasket, blower gasket and throttle body gasket.

 

i just put on a zzp stage IV s/c and a ported LIM. I figured id put that on since im getting a i/c after winter. Well I actually lost a pound of boost but the sound is awesome. I think the LIM being opened up caused me to drop some psi. Im waiting to put on my Northstar tb. I know it will be alot better then. If I could do it all over again id just get a gen V. Ill prolly end up doing that in the spring but im gettin it ported b4 it goes on.

 

Rasp you ever been to Ohio Valley drag strip in Kentucky? I swear I've met you if you have.

 

Not sure if I should make another thread about this but...

I am currently taking apart my M90 supercharger to send in for porting. Are there any precautions I should know about before doing this and if you guys know of a manual that would assist me in any way during this process? Thanx.

 

Though old as dirt to the 3800 community this link should help you out on dissassembly if you are still looking for info....
