Full Bolt-On Supercharger Kit For the 3.0L Fusion

[The Great NY]

Please don't delete.......this is not spam. this is just a heads up for all you 3.0L guys

 

 

 

 

 

In case you all may not know i just figured i'd fill you guys in on a power adder for your 3.0L. i browsed around the site and saw many posts asking about turbo kits and and supercharger kits. Dont think i saw any closure or any progress on the matter.

 

With that being said a good friend of mine has just released a fully bolt-on supercharger kit for the 3.0L V6 Fusion. this SC kit is capable of 425-450bhp. there are many options availible for the setup as well. this kit is top notch and the price is outstanding. the base of the kit is an Eaton MP-90 supercharger. Oh, the company is "Nautilus Performance" out of Florida.

 

Kit Includes:

 

Magnuson MP90 4th Gen. 450 hp maximum output

CNC Custom Aluminum Lower Intake Manifold

3" x 12" x 1.75" Aftercooler Installed (needs pump and heat exchanger kit)

Custom Fuel Rail and Custom Fuel Injector Sleeves

Pulley Plate with new sized belts

Custom Plenum utilizing EGR, IAC, & vacuum distribution using OEM TB

All bolts, clamps, & hardware included

 

Many other options available!

 

 

Anyway here is some pics and stuff:

 

UNDER THE HOOD:

 

 

Pics of hood the SC almost made the hood but we added some more scoop to allow for more air room and insulation. The customer will be finishing the hood in the rear etc to make it nice on the rear edge IMO. I really like the hood from the front you can't tell till you get to the side only because the rear lip drop straight down . I think a small slope to the rear would look very good on this car.

Here is where this setup can be found and purchased:

ive talked to this dude on youtube.. he said its only gonna be running 13's in the 1/4.. for $5000 its not worth it after buying my 06 fusion for $14,000 just to 2 seconds faster.. the only thing i liked was the sound of the supercharger but watching the acceleration i was not impressed

There's a few things ur missing here bro.

 

1. The fusion isn't designed to be a straight line car

2. The fusion IIRC is a 3500lbs car

3. The fusion is only ATX

4. The base SC kit is about 3500 iirc....I have to look or talk to him again cause there have been many changes to the kit

5. In these videos the car wasn't fully tuned

6. In the videos the car was running something like 8psi(about 300-320bhp or so)

7. This motor (3.0L) is capable of 400bhp daily driven all day everyday

 

 

Fyi - videos can truly be decieving because even my car doesn't seem that fast in videos but when people ride in it and race it the first thing they say is videos don't do it justice.

 

These things may sound like a cop out, but you have to take into account what you a dealing with. A 3500lbs car with an ATX and 350hp isn't gonna be setting land speed record. But look at it this way for an extra 3500-5000 bucks.....u essentially make the fusion be able to hang with or own a car that was considered to be more high performance than it. For way less cost.

 

For instance...

 

A new 335I will cost you 40k or better....you paid 16k for your car...add 3.5k-5k to that and u destroy a 40+ thousand dollar car. Yea its still a bmw. But u see wat I'm getting at?

 

You not getting this kit to go to the strip and break 11's or low 12's.....the fusion is FWD and ATX....so high 12's low 13's is great imo for a 3500lbs cas

This supercharger kit is great but my only question is did u guys lower the compression ratio. The Fusion runs a 10:1 ratio which is high for a car with Forced Induction.

[Oldguy16]

I have a general question. With this kit, shouldn't you be replacing the injectors, fuel pump, pretty much the whole fuel system also? Not to mention, what about exhaust? Wouldn't it be best to replace the headers, cat, and mufflers? I'm just asking, I'm not familiar with these kinds of things.

Does the kit come with a new transmission?

Thank you, and new axles, cause ours are only rated for 300hp, and the tranny blows too, so we'd need a new one of those also.

[The Great NY]

damn, not sure why i wasnt getting notifications from this forum. so for the delayed response.

the compression hasnt been lowered. and depending on boost it wont need to be. my motor is 10:1 compression and im running 12-15psi. for a regular person, 10psi is just fine.

injectors have been replaced, and there are a couple injector size options. fuel pump doesnt need to be replaced as it flows plenty for the boost. only thing on the fuel system needing to be touched is the injectors.

 

the stock manifolds can be run just fine with the stock exhaust. of course more power can be made with a better flowing system, but its not needed. iirc the test car has the stock header system.

lol, no it doesnt come with a new transmission. the test car has been doing perfectly fine on the stock atx and axles and i dont see them being an issue on the atx. as for the trans. add a oil cooler and that will help keep the trans in one piece.

[morgan2112]

Thanks for the updates NY!

Please keep us posted on the longetivity. :burnout: :unsure:

:bowdown:

[1ofakindgt]

I want to do this to my fusion but not for 5 grand lmao. The fusion can be such a cool car to mod and looks slick wish there was a better aftermarket world.

I'm sorry....are you living on a different planet than the rest of us? You're putting 12-15 psi into an engine with 10:1 compression with standard port injection...and you're not getting significant knock on pump gas?

 

This sounds like the perfect reciepe to chip a piston.

as thegreatnewyork noted.... no knock. 10:1 is high for compression however please note aluminum heads and blocks and hyperteutnic(however the heck you spell it) pistons. and we run 87 octane gas...... used to be a 10:1 motor required premium. not the case anymore and no direct injection is not the reason. does direct injection help yes but not by this huge huge margin. the quench area of the 3.0 is very resistant to detonation. thegreatnewyork is pushing the limits of what the cd3 chassis is capable of and probably knows the platform better than anyone else. -Katy

Hi, I'm trying to find the company in Florida where you bought your kit. I can't seem to get the link to work. Could you please provide me with more information, in order to help me contact them? Thanks for your time!

There is probably a good reason for this. Don't waste your time.

[themason]

My brother just showed me this thread about my car, I noticed there are alot of questions about it and I'd be happy to answer any specific questions about the kit if you would like. The kit displayed is mine and the videos are mine as well. To clarify one bit of misinformation, the company is based out of houma Louisiana and the site for the company was shut down because of not having the time for maintenance and upkeep.

 

Npg has also made a turbo kit for the awd 3.0L. I'm not the owner of that kit so ican't give specifics on it. This is a nice site though, not sure why I've never seen it before.

[themason]

Correction, the videos above aren't mine but the multiple run video by the main mason on YouTube are.

[themason]

I got some e-mails from my YouTube account that asked a lot of questions. I was asked to post here and on one other forum. Below are the questions with answers:

 

1: 3 people asked if the kit was still on my car because no new videos have been posted in awhile?... No, the kit was removed along with my motor, npg has the uim & lim along with the fuel rails, plenum and pulley system. They want to make the kit more compact to be able to fit it under the stock hood. I'm taking my car back to them early this year and they will be using it to redo the pulley layout and manifold height to achieve this.

 

2. Did the trans ever have problems?... On rare occasions (when the car lost traction) the first to second shift wouldn't happen and the car would hesitate and buck. It never caused any noticeable damage and only happened twice. I will say that I do run 245/45-17 summer season tires 2.5 inches lowered. Beyond that the trans had approximately 72k miles on it when i put the kit on and I've racked up roughly 65k with the kit with no trans issues. I Would recommend getting a custom stall torque converter to decrease the slip.

 

3. What boost was i running and what fuel grade did i run?... The pulley set was measured on both sides to push out 11psi but I observed 10.5 on the digital and analog meter. For daily driving I ran 86/87 and had no knock. For track use i ran e85 or 108 racing fuel. The data logging I did over a 9 month period which provided the data to build the tune for the kit was 108. So the tune for the kit is optimized for high octane use. When using regular fuel, the power drop is very noticeable, the ecm does compensate and you can tell. But when running e85 or racing fuel, it runs savage.

 

4. Did ihave any motor problems?... The only motor problems I've had were from a piece of rebar knocking a hole in my oil pan which blew the motor. That happened at 35k on the kit. The new motor has around 30 on it with no problems, well besides being on an engine stand being dressed up. It is running on stock internals, stock cam profiles and stock exhaust manifolds with gutted precats.

 

5. What was the best quarter time, best trap speed and would it be a better road car or better quarter car?... 14.296 at 106mph. Best trap speed was 109 but out of the hole i was fighting horrible traction issues. I have my car setup to run on road tracks and for the fwd cars i think that is the best way to go. Awd guys I believe this kit is agood starting point and with about 10k investment you could see low to mid 12's.

[Mr. Fuzn]

Great information, please follow up on this when you get the kit back. I'd love to hear more, have been trying to decide what I should do to get my fusion where I want it, and I think a roots s/c is the way to go, especially after seeing those 5 points. Tired of hearing kids tell me to sell my car and buy something, gotta step up my game lol

[PhantomXRacer]

The fusion is underage iv smoked a infiniti g37x and a grand prix gtp in my 07 milan so 5k for a extra 100-250hp is not worth it I could turbo my car for that which is my plan anyways because supercharger wear the engine down faster then a turbo plus they don't have as much top end power plus there worse on fuel so IL stick with turbo

[Linc]

So this thread is now ancient, so I wondered if you can give us any updates on your car themason?

[Waʊnd Sterling]

5000.00 and the car is stuck in the 14.00 second bracket? As much as 500HP (claimed) and this is the performance??

 

Crazy. I'd lose sleep at night if I had anything to do with this

 

For that amount of money (and less...) the motor can be yanked out and balanced, fitted with custom exhaust and possbily even have much better intake tract profiles w/ cams. But - I don't know specifics about the Cylinder Heads.

 

5000.00??? Must be selling drugs.

[MightBeASynth]

5k sounds about right to have a shop do the work depending on the parts cost. A lot of FI upgrades can run upwards of 2500-3500 just for all the parts and related supporting components. Add in 10-20+ hours of shop time to install and hopefully dyno tune (about $500 just for the dyno tune) and you get to 5k really quick.

 

This is why I prefer to do as much of the work myself that I can and only engage machine shops for custom parts. Professional labor can cost as much or even more than the parts.

 

Example, LMS will do a meth kit on a car, parts are about $1200-$1500. Install and dyno tune pushes the total price to right around 3k.

 

That trap speed def says the car is running much faster than it did. Needs slicks or DR's and likely some suspension upgrades if it ever was truly streetable. With the traction it sounds like it was headed for trailer queen status. Not really a surprise for a roots blower. GM L67s had a lot of the same issues, esp once you stuck a whipple on there.

[Waʊnd Sterling]

My point was that for much much less overhead a competent fabricator and engine builder can create a set of headers and perhaps improve the flow of the intake and cylinder heads. A custom ground camshaft profile could be found and all for much less than 5k and with much better driveability.

 

An honest 3-325HP which throws down vs. 4-500HP which will never hookup worth beans.
