Squires Turbo System (STS Turbo) Anyone ever finish an install?

Won't the 4.0l handle more "abuse" than the 3.9l?
Or do you think with the upgraded internals they should be about matched in strength?
 
Quoted from another site..

The 3.9L (3934 cc) AJ30/AJ35 variant is a unique displacement used only by Ford and Lincoln and is built in Ford's Lima, OH engine plant. Bore is 86 mm (3.4 in) and stroke is 85 mm (3.3 in). The AJ35 version introduced for the 2003 model year added variable valve timing of the intake camshafts and electronic throttle control. While the block, crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods are all unique to this displacement, many other parts are shared with the AJ-V8 engines produced in the UK by Jaguar.

AJ26
The 4.0 L (3996 cc) AJ26 engine was introduced in 1996 It has a square 86 mm (3.4 in) bore and stroke. It was updated in 1998 as the AJ27 with continuously variable valve timing. The AJ-V8 was updated again in 2000 as the AJ28. The naturally-aspirated version produces 290 hp (216 kW) (216 kW) in the 2004 XK8.
 
intercooler maybe 300


If low boost was ran, say 4-5psi, on a remote mount, would an intercooler even be necessary? I would think the charge pipe would be cool enough by the time it ran from the back to the engine, could be wrong.
 
That is what STS says.... the long pipe and the air flowing over it will help cool it.

What I am seeing, the aircharge is raise about 18degrees every PSI of boost. I have 4 points to measure temp - outside air (in the grill), hat of the supercharger (post boost), IAT post intercooler, and then the engine temp.

even with my low boost the supercharger is often pegged that 255 degrees, with the outside temp in Texas 90-110 - wouldn't want that going ito my engine. The IAT usually runs only 20-30 degrees over the outside temp - so the intercooler seems to be working at 65%-75%....

They dont call it a Heaton for nothing man. Not that you can even see this cause Im being "Ignored" Not sure why Im wasting my time. Anywho, I believe a remote mounted turbo and just the charge pipe will have a lower aircharge temperature.
 
you could do without if you wanted. im running one cuz i like to keep everything as cool as possible. higher compression engines have higher cylinder temps and pressures which help when spooling a remote mounted turbo because the gases are still hot when they reach the turbine but i would like my air charge going into the motor to be as cool as it can for a more efficient burn and safegaurd against detonation.
