My Supercharged 1996 Windstar |

What do you get when you take a Eaton M112 supercharger, have a 3.8 litre built to handle 10 PSI of boost while using a water/alcohol injection system made by Snow Performance and squeeze it into a Windstar? |

With an estimated 400+ horsepower at the front wheels (at the time of this site being posted), the engine is currently in as Integrity Automotive and Racing is closing their doors for the last time. After a little break-in I'll take it down to guy who got me the software for my SCT Programmer (Rob at Forced Induction Tuning & Fabrication) and have him finish the tune on his chassis dyno in Phoenix, Arizona. Afterwards I'll not only post the real numbers but also a copy of the dyno runs to show the exact numbers with the factory stock 2003 Cobra pulley on it. From there, I'll shoot for a pulley that'll give me right at 10 PSI of boost. Also to help prevent pre-ignition/detonation a Snow Performance Water/Alcohol injection kit has been added. For those unfamiliar with injection of water and/or alcohol injection click here for more information: WATER ALCOHOL INJECTION Free horsepower or very "Low Cost Horsepower"! As a bachelor, I have it made. How many women would be willing to let their husband keep an engine in the bedroom...? You might run across one or two in a crowd of 50 men & women if even that!

OK the bad news; my insurance, American Family has dropped a bombshell on me as they refuse to pay another shop to finish up the work that "Integrity Automotive & Racing" left me HANGING when they went out of business October 30, 2008. Anyone who would like to help me out with a "small donation" from 1¢ to you name it and you can go to PayPal and use the email address: windstarhelp@gmail.com Yes, it may seem like a low thing to ask, but right now I'm in a low point in my life/project since AmFam bailed on me. Though I've never given up on anything in my life, and I've been through more in the past 23 plus years than I hope anyone else never has to go through, but when it comes to money (I should say a lot of money) I'm at a total loss as to what to do. If you'd like to e-mail me with any comments, suggestions, or even with the winning lottery I'll be all ears! Because the project isn't at a complete stalemate, I'm in need of a financial break after being "ripped off" by Integrity which they had very little of from what I've heard lately. I found out about it way too late in order to do anything about. Life goes on, just in my other Windstar and the work will continue at a much slower pace than what I had expected! Baby steps when I want to leap into it head first... |
