Edelbrock 4.6L Ford Supercharger System
for 2005 and later Mustang GTs
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may
result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
Due to the complexity of the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharging system, it is recommend that this system only be
installed by a qualified professional with access to a service lift, pneumatic tools, and a strong familiarity with
automotive service procedures. To qualify for the optional 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty, it is necessary to have this
system installed by a certified ASE technician, Ford dealership, or Edelbrock approved installer. Failure to have this
system installed by a properly certified service center may result in voiding of both the optional warranty offered with
this sytem, as well as the standard Edelbrock parts warranty. Please contact the Edelbrock Technical Support
department if you have any questions regarding how this sytem and/or your installer of choice will affect any warranty
coverage for which your vehicle may qualify.
Any previously installed aftermarket tuning equipment must be removed and the vehicle returned to an as
stock condition before installing the supercharger.
Any equipment that directly modifies the fuel mixture or ignition timing of the engine can cause severe engine damage
if used in conjunction with the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System. This includes, but is not limited to: ignition
boxes, air/fuel controllers, OBDII programmers, and any other device that modifies signals to and/or from the ECU.
Aftermarket bolt-on equipment such as underdrive pulleys or air intake kits will also conflict with the operation of the
supercharger and must be removed prior to installation. Use of any of these products with the E-Force Supercharger
could result in severe engine damage.
91 octane or higher gasoline is required at all times. If your vehicle has been filled with anything less, it
must be run until dry and refilled with 91 or higher octane gasoline twice prior to installation.
This kit includes all the parts needed to install this system on ‘07 & ‘08 Mustang GTs only. ‘05 & ‘06
models will also need the 15804 Cooling Upgrade Kit, while ‘09 models will need the 15805 Hardware Kit.
Mustang GTs produced in 2005 and 2006 were equipped with a cooling system that mounted the thermostat on the
cold side of the radiator. The Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger was designed to take advantage of the improvements in
cooling efficiency that are offered by mounting the thermostat on the hot side as found in later models. Cooling
Upgrade Kit #15804 will allow owners of ‘05 & ‘06 model year Mustangs to retro-fit their cars with the later model
cooling systems, and is required before the supercharger can be installed. 2009 model year Mustangs recieved some
minor changes from previous model years and will require a different pulley nut and intake manifold gaskets, offered in
kit #15805, to operate correctly. It is strongly recommended that these parts be purchased, if needed, before beginning
installation of the supercharger.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING A BOOST GAUGE OR PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
Your E-Force supercharger is equipped with two options for measuring boost. The TMAP sensor mounted on top of the
manifold at the rear of the driver’s side, outputs a 0-5 volt signal through pins 1 & 2 (pin 1 is signal & pin 2 is signal
return,) that can be converted to an absolute pressure reading using the below calibration curve. Use of this signal
requires an ambient pressure correction for calculating boost pressure.

The second option is to utilize the pressure port at the rear of the passenger side intake runner flange. Your
supercharger has been pre-drilled and tapped for a 1/8” NPT fitting. There is currently a plug sealing the hole, which
can be removed, and replaced with a fitting to adapt to your sensor.
CAUTION: Never cut into the vacuum lines leading to the fuel rail pressure sensor and bypass actuator, on the driver’s
side of the manifold, for the purpose of tapping in a boost gauge. Interruption of the vacuum signal to the fuel rail
pressure sensor can affect the fuel pressure reading to the PCM, which can result in engine failure!

Installation Instructions
II. Battery Removal
I. Hood Removal
3. Use an 8mm socket to loosen the negative battery
terminal clamp and remove it. Tuck it to the side to
prevent any accidental contact with the negative battery
terminal.
1. Use a panel puller to pry off two of the push-pins
holding the hood insulator in place on the passenger side,
then reach behind the insulator to disconnect the washer
hose from the T-junction at the passenger side nozzle.
4. Use a 10mm socket to remove the nut on the positive
battery terminal that retains the alternator power wire.
Detach this wire from the terminal, then loosely reinstall
the nut.
Detach hose retaining clip, then remove these two pins.
5. Use an 8mm socket to loosen and remove the positive
battery terminal clamp, then tuck the wire over to the
side.
6. Pull the insulating sleeve off of the battery, then use an
8mm socket to loosen the long bolt that secures the
battery tie-down strap. The battery can then be removed
and set aside.
Pull hose off here.
(Insulator fully removed for illustrative purposes.)
2. Have an assistant support the hood while a 10mm
socket is used to remove the four bolts attaching it to its
hinges. Lift the hood off the vehicle and set it aside.
