i need some help from someone who knows what they are talking about.

what would it take to install the lightning supercharger on a regular 5.4 engine.

is the intercooler needed with the eaton charger.( can it function without it?)

anyone know of someone who has done this?

it is going on a 01 supercrew with a 5.4...

please help...

 

A list to get started with

1) Intake
2) Intercooler
3) Intercooler pump
4) Intercooler radiator
5) Intercooler reservoir
6) Chip
7) Larger Injectors ?
8) I think you would need the Lightning wiring harness and PCM to run the Boost dump, and the other electronics associated with the Supercharger
9) Supercharger

Thats just a laymans quick list - I bet folks like BABolt , JL, Sal, JDM or others could give you a better more complete list...

Have you looked at the Supercharger/ Turbo forum here. It looks like some of the aftermarket kits are less complicated to install ...

i agree with doug, for the time and money u put into putting a lightning supercharger together, and all of its components, u can get a much better performing supercharger for less money, and a easier install with tech support.

NOVI 2000, for example..

and u dont have to get the eaton and components from ford or off a lightning, eaton, im sure, makes a kit for the naturally aspirated 5.4, if you want it to look the same..

 

Talk to Crash over on the supercharger forum, he can help you.

Or JDM he has done a few supercharger conversions on 5.4's

 

vortech has a kit.....anywhere from 3-6 grand
kenne-bell offeres a kit, as well as a Lightning upgrade kit
ATI/Procharger offers a kit
and a believe ford racing now offers a kit as wel
