Saleen Series 6

Saleen produced its series 6 supercharger for the 05-10 mustang gt’s which were equipped with a 4.6 liter engine with 3 valves per cylinder. The series 6 supercharger was discontinued in mid-2011 with the introduction of the 5.0 liter 4 valves per cylinder engine that replaced the old 4.6. In March of 2016, a series 6 was being auctioned during a car show at a local dealership which I was in attendance. I bid and won the auction, but found out that none of the other components needed for installation were included with the purchase, nor did the dealership have it. After speaking to Saleen and other authorized dealers, I found that the series 6 was discontinued for some time and that the necessary components to install the supercharger would be near impossible to find. Thus began the 2 month long project .

For this project, I designed the needed components and with the help of Universal Engineering, was able to develop one-off components to continue installation. For various other components, readily available parts for varying other vehicles were repurposed for this project. I retuned the engine with the help of an Engine tuning specialist from South America. The Mustang was then brought to a dynomometer which measures the power output at the rear wheels of a vehicle. 427 horsepower and 387 foot pounds of torque was measured, an increase of 42% for horsepower and 21% for torque from before the start of the project.

This is currently an ongoing project of mine, always finding ways to increase the output of the engine, improve the handling of the vehicle, or going back to improve things as I myself improve my skills.
