Mustang Running 3 - Supercharged V6

[GibsonLP07]

i see you have posi-traction. is that the stock rear end? if not what kind did you put in?

[hibbitsb]

@GibsonLP07 Originally I had a Yukon ring and pinion installed (3.73) with the Ford trac-loc. After a bolt backed out of the ring and trashed my rear end, I replaced the stock 7.5" rear end with the Ford 8.8" rear end (3.73 w/trac-loc) out of a Mustang GT.

[tacomanfan344]

wow... that was actually BADASS.

[link9454]

What's your 0-60 time?

[hibbitsb]

@link9454 Never timed my 0-60, but I've done a 12.98 1/4m.

[wesley91975]

i have respect for the v6

[srrymonkey]

Idk why there's soo much hate for V6's, yes not as much power, but the originals did come with a I6... and they still hauled ass. Then the SVO which was a 4cyl beat the 5.0's easy... It's all the same thing.

[bottle2lip]

cant wait to get a supercharger in my 2011 v6 and all the other goodies. Looking for at least 425 whp

[barrymean]

Hey man in the first video u said u had the violator mufflers, do u still have those? If so, where did u get them and how much? I like the sound and want to get some for my v6.

Thanks!

[hibbitsb]

@barrymean Yes, I still have them. I got the cat back kit online from rpm outlet for about $400. I also installed the JBA headers.

[williamcat15]

did you get the 8.8 rear end or by a diff with posi?

[hibbitsb]

@williamcat15 Initially I had installed a Yukon gear set and Ford trac-loc. But after a bolt backed out of the ring and trashed my 7.5" rear end I replaced the whole rear axle with an 8.8" from new take offs.

[ilovecats748]

for a v6 in ANY car that sounds nice.

[wonderbreadkw]

only 305hp? you didnt get some of the upgrades did u...and did you get a new rear end?

[theonlykisboi]

lol sorry if this is immature in any way but.....the mustang skeeted in the beginning of the video.

[hibbitsb]

@theonlykisboi What does that mean? Skeeted?

[theonlykisboi]

@hibbitsb lol ejaculation basically, that's why I apologized before hand, otherwise I pretty much did the same after the vid haha I never thought you could do to the V6 like what you did, if college wasn't such a pain i'd be working part time long and hard just to do what you did.

[hibbitsb]

@theonlykisboi Ahh that makes sense. I am familiar with that term when used in the context of cocaine use. I had just washed the car. Looks like a little water spewed out of the exhaust :)

[theonlykisboi]

@hibbitsb I never knew you could use skeeted in the context of cocaine use, I'm one level smarter now haha

[hibbitsb]

@theonlykisboi Skeeted: to be extremley intoxicated on cocaine.

"Damn. Those 10 lines got me really skeeted. " Check urbandictionary

[Uplift91]

@hibbitsb I think he's referring to the "get low" version lol... basically he's implying your muffler jizzed

[ParkerBartonMusic]

Niceee.. What supercharger is that? Also, Which Supercharger would you consider for my 2010 mustang v6? Thanks a million!

[hibbitsb]

@ParkerBartonMusic Thanks! It's a ProCharger. They also have kits for the 2010 V6's. You should be able to run 8-9psi without any issues. Give ProCharger a call if you have any questions. They have always been helpful to me.

[Bret3030]

alwh its a automatic

[pkidro]

that's still less power then the GT, have you ran stock onse yet? iam sure you possibly beat GTs since you are lighter?

[hibbitsb]

@pkidro No naturally aspirated GT has been able to beat me in the 1/4m. I usually run in the low 13's but have run a few in the 12.9's. I think the supercharger loves those cool mornings at the track.

[pkidro]

@hibbitsb hehe cool. my GT is pretty much stock with a few bolts on including 87 octane tune, did 13.7 first time on the track. funny i put down 306HP to the wheels and 312 torgue. same numbers as yours, but i bet your car is lighter. what i need is good tires and i should do alot better, cause iam always either spinning too much cant hook or shy and give it too litte of gas, so i lose time

[ADD8oi]

@pkidro best investment you could ever make would be a set of drag wheels, skinnies up front with nice fat ones out back, slicks, not that street compound, use a set of wheels for the track and another set for the road, Mustangs FTW

[hibbitsb]

@pkidro Running with some decent drag slicks will definitely shave some time off. I have a pair of MT's I run with at the track. I heat those babies up in the burnout box and they hook up nicely. No doubt I am still a little lighter, even with the 8.8inch rear end/axle I installed.

[pkidro]

@hibbitsb oh yea. i put the video up if you wanna see it running on the drag strip :)

[hibbitsb]

@pkidro Nice vid. I'll bet you shave at least .25 sec just by running with slicks. Slicks is one of the cheapest upgrades to get down the 1/4m faster that you can do. Your 60ft times will be WAY better as well.

[TheMeSoLucky]

without the headers, would you still like your mustang the way it is? i currently have a v6 stock convertable and i want to get the xcharger (im pretty sure that's what is on yours) and also the pypes true dual exhaust. also, on the pypes, do you know if the back bumper can just be cut to add in the extra pipe or do i have to order a new GT bumper?

[hibbitsb]

@TheMeSoLucky I added the headers before I had the dual pypes exhaust installed. I think it gives it a deeper sound and maybe a few more HP. Either way, yes I would still love my car. I actually have the ProCharger supercharger, not the Xcharger. In terms of power, I think they produce similar numbers. My bumper is the original V6 bumper. I did the cut out for the exhaust with a Dremel tool. The Pypes exhaust kit comes with a template.

[jlgpaintball333]

u have to have more than wat u put... 2 wheel burnout = posi

[jdowney429]

Thats an awesome mustang man. I intend on doing that to mine this winter.

[originaldriver]

pretty decent... Looks like a fun car to drive.

[transamnutt]

tha a fuckin sick mustang dude im currently workin on my 19974.ol 5 speed manual exploer jus lowerd it had paintid black looking for a supercharger for it but cant find one anywhere

[joegyver]

@transamnutt Look into explorer express. They offer roots blowers for the 4.0 SOHC. If you have the 4.0 ohv you are out of luck.

[transamnutt]

@joegyver yah i got the ohv 4L found headers and cip but thas it

[hibbitsb]

@transamnutt Thanks man! If you are looking for a power adder for your Explorer you may end up with a Turbo. Lots of shops will install a turbo system in just about any vehicle.

[TheMrhoneycutt]

@transamnutt Explorer Express!!!!!!They are awesome for Explorer!!

[sillerarem]

is your car automatic??

[QuickSSilver98]

If I wanted to waste money like that I would of just donated it to the Red Cross.

[hibbitsb]

@QuickSSilver98 I would argue that donating money to the red cross isn't a waste. Moreover, spending money on something you love, boats, cars or whatever you desire isn't a waste either. Sounds like perhaps you love to donate your money. I hope that makes you happy.

[usmarineofficer]

@QuickSSilver98 what a jerk off... good job on the car

[tarikbob]

im looking to get a supercharger how much did all of it cost with labor and stuff

[hibbitsb]

@tarikbob The supercharger was around $4k. I installed it myself.

[Survivalist45]

TCI ratchet shifter......youll shit bricks....I did

[hibbitsb]

Quite simply, when I bought this car, I simply could not afford the additional cost of the GT and the inpact it would have had on my insurance. So for less than I would have spent on a GT, I pay the insurance for a V6 have have a car that leaves the GT owners scratching thier heads at the drag strip.

[pcfxer]

@hibbitsb Is the mileage better than the 8? How do you like the six machine?

[hibbitsb]

@pcfxer I get around 19mpg daily driving and 23 on the highway. I think that's close to what the GT gets. However, since I run with a supercharger I have to run premium gas. And as you might expect, I love my V6.

[contagious6969]

All that money just to get a v6 to 300rwhp...seems like a waste of money to me...a gt with exhaust/intake/tune would have gotten you that

[OneGuitarGuy]

I love the eleanor colors

[Sparkplug98P71]

sick ass car.

-except for the tail lights...

[7132272719]

Very nice dude, but thats not a supercharger, thats a TURBOCHARGER...

[hibbitsb]

@7132272719 - No it IS a supercharger. Turbochargers run off exhaust gasses. Superchargers are belt driven like this one is. This is a ProCharger P1-SC. Look it up on the ProCharger website if you have doubts.

[7132272719]

@hibbitsb ok dude i believe you

its cause i cant see the belt on the video,

it looks like a turbine.... well wut do i know, its your car. jeje

by the way, i have a 06 mustang v6, but it has no catalyzers and it suonds bad when you rev it

wut do you recommend so that it gets a nice and deep sound not like a 4 cilinder??

[hibbitsb]

@7132272719 I think it takes a total exhaust package. Headers (very important), X-pipe or H-pipe, but the mufflers are key to the sound you want for your car.

[Reinventingurext]

@7132272719 apparently you have not seen a centrifugal super charger lol

[OssE27]

how fast can a supercharged v6 mustang go from 0-60?

[atomickilla]

What exactly does the supercharger replace? throttle body, pullies, air intake? right?

[HallJosephwilliam]

There's value in having something that sounds/is a little different, plus no one can say that doesnt sound badass!

[SilverXTune]

I hear you on that saving the money thing for more mods by getting the 6, but I just can't get over a mustang having a higher sound then my eclipse..

[757VAwrestler]

wh not just spercharge a v8 ?

[JT18260]

GT costs more and the money u save from buying a GT can be put towards the 6 for a more improved look, plus more performance mods

[HENNESSEYboss429]

@757VAwrestler

If you knew about Mustangs, you would know that the S197's 4.0L V6s are statistically more capable of power than a 4.6L V8.

THAT'S why you shouldn't get a superchared V8. But it'd be sick.

[FridayNightLights321]

Why not go back to school and learn how to type?

[757VAwrestler]

@FridayNightLights321 hahahah yeah sorry bro ive learned a lot since then, about cars, engines, trucks etc. anyway.. sick stang

[colbyburnett]

I really do love your car.....but it just tugs away at me at how awesome it would be if it had the 4.6

[mustangfan00]

et times?

[hibbitsb]

Typicaly around 13.10. Best time 12.97

[mustangfan00]

that's really good dude. any drag radials or suspension upgrades?

[hibbitsb]

Thanks! I use the original 16" wheels and some MT drag tires. No suspension upgrades yet though.

[wolf1010]

automatic trannys don't know how to manage tire spin =] they just shoot through the gears lol. Anyways I fucking love your car, nice video.

[rebocklive]

how much did your exhaust cost? and did you do the install?

[ohfiveMustang]

respect for the v6 but im not feelin those lights dude.

[biffnacid]

sounds great boss, how long did it take you to install the procharger?

[sfcwoodret]

Better respect that V-6 on the street that's all I can say.

[krazymexazn]

how u get it to burn out with both wheels, mine has that one wheel wonder thing

[hibbitsb]

I changed out the gears in the rear end to 3.73's and added the trac-loc at the same time to get the power to both wheels

[izzyocon]

did you have to exchange the whole rear end for the t-loc? cause i want to change the gears on mine to 4:10s but i hear its a pain in the ass

[hibbitsb]

No you don't need to exchange the whole rear end, but you need the new gears and the T-loc. You'll want to find a reputable shop to install them.

[mosquiton001]

spending all that money (procharger, injectors, rear end) on a v6 makes it "cheaper" anyway that buying a V8 in the first place??

i don't think you gas mileage and total money for all the mods for a v6 makes it less expensive to run than the Gt...

or you "saved" something anyway??

BTW nice ride man! love the "eleonoire" shelby color scheme :)

[xbassanix]

how much HP?

[hibbitsb]

305 at the wheels

[xbassanix]

thats good for a V6

[sfcwoodret]

Nice ride! I heard the supercharger! Bad azz Stang there!

[barnesj89]

if you listen really carefully, you can barely hear the supercharger when he drives towards the camera the first time

[Mustang6Banger]

I thought you said it was supercharged. Should'nt we be able to hear the supercharger whine as your coming towards the camera.

[hibbitsb]

The fact that you can see it and hear it in the beginning of the video should have put to rest any doubt that this car is supercharged. I can only attribute the lack of being able to hear it as it rolls toward the camera as an issue with the build in mic on the camera. Beyond that, I guess you can draw your own conclusions.

[pitbull460119]

nice...cause is v6

[MustangMo210]

Hows the low end power? Is it fast for a daily driver?

[sfcwoodret]

Wow, nice 4.0 stang. It's a good engine especially modded or supercharges. They will run with the best.

[tort2ga]

very nice mustang, and it sounds great!!

[1969MustangMACH1]

that car has a very unique sound for mustangs, i really like it! badass stang here.

[FiBTL3000]

ok now put sum stage 3 heads and cam and put the boost to 15PSI ;) well over 400HP and 400Tq

[hibbitsb]

Sounds good! Do you think I'd need to upgrade my pistons as well? I was considering a high stall torque converter as my next upgrade to improve my 1/4m times.

[mandrgalvan]

ya you would need to up grade ur pistons to boost it up to 15 psi. get forged pistons/rods/rings etc...

and also get stage 3 upper and lower intake manifold.

[KouF16]

nice mustang man. what numbers you throwin down? and what did u do about the bumper for the exhaust?

[hibbitsb]

Thank you! I've run a 12.98 one time, but typically I'm in the low 13's. For the bumper I created a template using the existing hole and used my Dremel tool to cut out the second hole.

[paintballer0816]

check this vid out its slow in the begining but check it out plzzz go to 492 rwhp 2003 mustang gt and go to the first one

[TunerKing666]

Why don't you run a BOV with the procharger?

[hibbitsb]

I do. It has a blow off valve.

[TunerKing666]

You cant really hear it in the video.

[hibbitsb]

True. You can hear it better in one of my other videos coming out of the burnout box. 05 Mustang - Race at Bremerton.

[TunerKing666]

yea that sounds alot nicer.

I was able to hear that.

What pulley and bov are you using?

[hibbitsb]

Thanks! Just 8psi with the ProCharger BOV.

[TunerKing666]

Do you have the BOV placed directly before the intercooler?

[hibbitsb]

Yes, it's behind the bumper on the drivers side before the intercooler.

[jayjaylen75]

How did you retard timing for that supercharger set-up or did you just pay someone to install?

[hibbitsb]

That's all controlled with the SCT Xcal2 program. I installed the supercharger myself. The ProCharger kit actually came with a Diablo tuner and a basic tune, but I already had the SCT Xcal2 unit and Justin at VMP tuning worked with me on nailing the tune.

[Vikyank]

Prochargers have a "surge valve", which is basically the same exact thing as a BOV just with a different name.

[goguenm]

People that don't have an inferiority complex don't need a V8 to make themselves feel all big and tough on the road. My bf bought a V6 because 1) It was a heck of a lot cheaper than a GT 2) He will save himself countless dollars because for insurance because he isn't driving a V8 3) It doesn't guzzle as much gas up as a V8 and 4) It is funner to drive a sleeper.

[redsixe]

Car sounds great ! I am doing an install on mine this week. I cant wait. Did you feel a big difference between the VMP and the canned tune ?

[hibbitsb]

The canned tune on the Diablo that came with the ProCharger barely ran the car. It was so rich it wasn't funny. You will no doubt need to get it on the dyno and have it tuned properly. Have fun with it!

[MadMustang00]

one more question? is the pro charger better then the v2 vortech supercharger w/ bama chip. and which is cheaper?

[hibbitsb]

I like the ProCharger better simply because it's got a self contained oiling system. No need to punch a hole in your oil pan.

[MadMustang00]

cool thanks.

[MadMustang00]

whats the best kind of charger that you can put on a v6 mustang.

[hibbitsb]

I've been happy with the ProCharger, but the new Shelby V6 Mustang (CS6) uses a NOVI-1200/Paxton. The ProCharger shipped with the DiabloSport tuner, I still use my SCT Xcal2 with a tune from VMP tuning. You'll probably get as many opinions with a question like that as there are superchargers. Consider posting your question on a forum like the 40collective.

[smithraymond]

Good work. That is exactly what I will be doing to my '05 v6. Nevermind the "just buy a GT" knuckleheads. 1) I don't see too many S197 Mustangs, and I live in L.A. 2) I don't see too many S197 G.T.s 3) I've seen ONE V6 with a dual exhaust upgrade 4) I've never seen a Supercharged S197 v6. What you have is very unique! Good stuff, Congrats!!!

[hibbitsb]

Thanks for the props man! The "why don't you get a GT" question comes up all the time. It doesn't bother me. Most people just don't get it. Even when I explain it, they still don't get it. I love my Mustang! I built it up and I think it rocks! That's all that really matters. Everyone else can eat my dust! Good luck and have fun making your Mustang uniquely yours! Thanks again!

[whtcanbrwnd04u]

Why not just spend that 4200 and get a GT?

[hibbitsb]

I simply couldn't afford a GT at the time and did want the extra cost for insurance. As it is now, it's faster than a GT.

[paintballa25]

how much did it cost to get upgrades. i have an 08 and wanna get it supercharged.

[hibbitsb]

The supercharger was about $4200. I installed it myself. I also changed the rear end gears to 3.73's and added posi-traction. The stock V6's don't have posi. You will also want to upgrade your exhaust. Have fun! Good luck!

[lbodlbod]

Bad Ass Car man!!!!

[mustangmike2OO1]

Sweet car dude

[DEADLYMUSTANG]

dang f876ing awesome .
