The Ford Performance TVS Supercharger kit will be for the manual and automatic 2015
through '17 GT owners who are looking to take their stock or bolt-on car to the next level,
using one of the most popular supercharger systems in the aftermarket, along with a very
reliable calibration from Ford Performance.
Now, when installed, this kit will turn the stock 435 horsepower GT into a 670 horsepower
monster thanks to the all-inclusive 50-state legal kit.
Price point for the supercharger system here from Ford Performance will hover right around
$7,000 bucks, and the install will get a full three out of three wrenches on the difficulty
meter from me, with a little bit more on that later in the video.
Now, if you've been shopping your entry-level TVS setups here at AM, then chances are you've
looked at this kit and you've also checked out the Roush Phase 1 system and might be
wondering to yourself, what is the difference?
They look nearly identical.
And, for the most part, you would be correct.
Same blower, same components, as we'll cover in a bit, but with one pretty big exception,
and that is the inclusion of the Ford Performance ProCal 3 tool here with this particular kit,
which is used to upload the calibration to your ride.
That Roush Phase 1 kit, on the other hand, does include a voucher but not a device.
So, that is the one big difference between the two.
Other than that, the kits will be identical, and that's why they share the same name badge
here on the blower.
Now, with that out the way, let's talk about the power you can expect when bolting up the
Ford Performance kit to your Coyote.
And, as I did point out earlier guys, the advertised crank horsepower numbers are when
using the included calibration from Ford Performance.
Now, since this video is more of a general overview of the kit itself, we don't have
any in-house chassis dyno numbers with everything installed.
So, instead, it's been my experience with a TVS system like this to subtract nearly
100 horsepower and about 80 pound-feet of torque from those crank horsepower numbers
to achieve your real horsepower and torque figures depending on your transmission.
Obviously, you're gonna see a little bit more of a drivetrain loss with an auto when compared
to a stick car.
So, with that said, I would say anywhere from just south of 600 horsepower to just south
of 500 pound-feet of torque to the tire with this kit and corresponding calibration in
place.
But let's dive a little bit more into the components of the Ford Performance TVS system
and, forgive me guys, I don't have every single nut and bolt on the table with me here today.
Instead, I have the core, or heart of the system, and that is the Eaton TVS 2300 rotor
pack.
Now, the TVS, or Twin Vortices Series as it's known as, is an extremely popular design that
utilizes a twin four-rotor lobe pack which then are twisted 160 total degrees, ultimately
creating a more efficient flow over older style blowers like the old M122, for instance.
Basically gonna make more power but at lower boost levels.
But getting into some of your other components with the Ford Performance kit, you're gonna
find the lower manifold here which actually lives underneath the TVS rotor pack, and this,
believe it or not, is actually your air-to-water intercooler.
This guy's gonna work with keeping those intake air temps down and will work hand-in-hand
with the included heat exchanger, which is actually gonna mount to the front of your
car.
Now, just a heads up here guys, that included heat exchanger or a low temp radiator does
not include any electric fans.
That is something prospective buyers might wanna add down the road, especially if you
live in a warmer climate.
The Ford Performance kit does also include a twin 60 millimeter throttle body which is
to be used with the included induction system, basically their cold air intake system and
corresponding airbox.
Also, guys, look forward to an 85 millimeter pulley here with the Ford Performance kit,
which will put you in the ballpark of 8 to 9 pounds of boost or so, depending on your
modifications.
Now, I say that because a set of long tube headers will slightly lower your boost thanks
to the restriction in back pressure, but that is something to keep in mind at the end of
the day.
As far as your fueling is concerned, well, Ford Performance does include a set of high
flow fuel rails, along with a brand-new set of 56 pound injectors to help feed that newly
blown Coyote power plant.
Again, if you wanted to upgrade this kit, you have a lot of opportunity.
Throttle body, intake system, pulley, injectors, all of this stuff is totally upgradeable with
a TVS kit like this.
And that is good to point out because, let's face it, guys, oftentimes the urge for a little
bit more power ends up setting in, and if that is the case, that is certainly doable
with a TVS system like this.
Finally, guys, you're gonna also receive all the brackets, your sheave belt system as well,
all of the wiring and everything else needed to get the Ford Performance TVS system in
place on your 2015 through '17 GT.
Switching gears, let's briefly talk about the installation and again, because we are
doing more of a general overview of the kit itself, we're not gonna go step by step here,
guys.
Instead, we're just gonna tell you this one's gonna be a full three out of three wrenches
on the difficulty meter.
And at least a day, maybe two, in the shop or garage, to get everything knocked out.
Now, if you're not fully confident in your mechanical abilities, I don't know if I'd
go trying to install this one.
However, if you are gonna tackle this one on your own, just make sure you have the very
detailed instructions pulled up or printed out first, a solid set of tools, and, again,
at least a day, maybe two in the shop or garage to get everything knocked out.
So, in closing, if you're looking to take that stock or bolt-on S550 GT to the next
level, while also remaining extremely safe and reliable, then the Ford Performance R2300
kit will be a solid choice, and you can grab yours right here at americanmuscle.com.
