2013 2.3 GT500 Blower on Terminator?

[MrCaliKrome]

Anyone have information on the ability to run the 2013+ GT500 2.3 TVS stock blower on a Terminator? :shrug:

I know James Hell / Cobra Engineering sells a mounting kit. Anyone have dyno results?

Stiegemeier has a conversion kit for the 07-12 GT500 superchargers for the 03 / 04 Cobras, but anyone had the 2013 2.3 converted similar to the way the M122 is put in the M112 case?

Wondering how the performance of the stock 13 GT500 2.3 TVS blower would compare to the 2.3 VMP TVS blower?

I seen somewhere on here where a guy put the gt500 blower on the cobra engineering kit but don't remember where. The vmp tvs blowers have much bigger plenums and inlets than the ford ones and can fit smaller pulleys.

I would call vmp and see if you could buy their case. If so then I'd just swap in the GT500 rotors and sell the case off to someone else for porting or something. Although at this point you could probably go get a new TVS from VMP.

Since '13 TVS blower can be directily swapped to older GT500s couldnt you by the adapter plate and do the same as long as pulleys are able to lined up correctly?

Yes...I did alot of research on this at one point.

 

[stangfreak]

aren't they the same blower? why not just get a 03 cobra tvs kit?

an untouched 13 TVS Blower wouldnt be worth the hassle but a BPS Race Port TVS and a big monoblade would be.........thinking about running one on the orange vert

Being the data whore that I am...u can basically call the 13/14 frpp tvs and vmp tvs a wash...which ever u can find cheapest is the way to go. Both can be ported for almost tge same gains...again...a wash. My vmp tvs is ported by me...so I have data to back it all up...my buddy has a BPS ported blower on his 13 so I've done the dirty work on this subject.

My exact thoughts

 

[MrCaliKrome]

Here is what I thought was the most obvious reason why I started this thread; cost.

13+ GT500 blower is $1,500-$1,800 vs. the VMP blower is $3,400-$4,000.

And the potential for the 13+ GT500 stock blowers to go down in price is very likely as supply increases on the market.

The Cobra Engineering GT500 to Terminator adapter kit is $650. It is very nice and James does great work.
The inlet and elbow on the 13 unit is substantially smaller than the VMP unit.
You will need to relocate the battery.
The 13 unit will come with no warranty and no support.

I have the M122 swap kit for my car And my plan was to try and find a 13' TVS. Unfortunately the kit is just sitting in the garage and may not get installed after all.

Reasons why I'd rather go with the VMP TVS! :thumbsup:

Would love to see what kind of numbers you put down with a 13+ blower.

Are you having difficulty finding one reasonably priced or is there something else keeping you from completing this mod?

and extend the maf wires to the other side.

I called Stiegmeier and they said so far there isn't a "hybrid" kit to put the 2.3 internals into the M112 housing like they have done with the M122 (07-12 GT500 stock blower).

They also mentioned the 2.3 internals would be too big to put in the M112 case.

 

[JamesHell]

Honestly cost is the only reason.
I have done 2 of these and both were because they got a killer deal on the 13 TVS.
The results on one of them where right in line with any TVS. The elbow is quite a bit larger on the 13-14 TVS. In fact I had to modify the cable bracket to make it work.

If you want the easy way home I can get you the VMP TVS at a good price

Long story short, with all the money and time you spend on making this conversion you can get a performance blower and have some money in the budget left over.

there is a 72 page write up on this on modularfords.com that turned alot of non believers minds. The regular m122 with some supporting mods ran about 570 hp.

 

[Woody6799]

PS total cost was the 1500 range
