Basic diagram of A/C system, and Killer Chiller modification
Figure 2 shows the basic Ford A/C system and components. The 03-04 Mustang cobra is slightly different, but all the major components and connections are the same.
The principal modification to the A/C system from installing the KC system is the replacement of the condenser to
evaporator tube, with a line that goes from the condenser to the KC unit, and a line from the KC unit to the evaporator (at the firewall).
The flow path of the refrigerant at the end of this installation is: Compressor – condenser – KC unit (including orifice tube) – evaporator – accumulator – compressor
The flow path of the coolant at the end of this installation is: Reservoir – pump – heat exchanger – KC unit – intercooler – reservoir
Read through the all the instructions before starting to improve your understanding of all the steps
Make sure to follow standard safety rules associated with automotive maintenance and repair
Suggestions and tips in the figures and text are denoted by an *
Installation
* If the vehicle has been lowered, or you have difficulty reaching underneath, putting the front end up on some jacks maybe helpful.
1. Evacuate the A/C system. Do not vent the refrigerant to the atmosphere, it is toxic and harmful to the environment. Most service stations with A/C equipment can do this.
2. Disconnect the battery. (safety precaution).
3. Remove the front bumper cover. Follow the service instructions provided in Figures 3 and 4. You do not need to remove the headlights, just be careful to make sure the tabs under the headlights go back into their correct locations upon re-installation. An interior trim tool would be helpful to pull the two retainers from the bottom of the cover.The pin retainers on front of the inside fenders (Figure 2) are actually screws that attach the inner wheel vendors to the front bumper cover. Pull out the inner fender to gain access to the two bumper cover nuts inside. Don’t forget to disconnect the fog lamps, the connectors face the floor.
4. Drain the intercooler fluid. Remove the coolant line going out of the heat exchanger (the line going back into the intercooler). The section of hard line that the heat exchanger hose connects to (that goes to the intercooler) is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Detail of coolant return line with hose removed.
5. Remove the air filter and intake assembly. Remove the entire assembly from the throttle body forward. This
will allow access to the condenser to evaporator line that must be removed.
6. Remove the factory condenser to evaporator A/C line. Service instructions for disconnecting the spring lock
couplings are shown in Figure 6. Disconnect the low pressure suction line (at the top of the accumulator, Figure 7)
to gain easier access to the evaporator line and for routing of the new A/C hose. The low pressure suction line (w/
low side pressure port) requires the BLACK (5/8”) quick disconnect, the evaporator inlet coupling the BLUE
(1/2”) quick disconnect tool, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. Service instructions for removal of the
condenser to evaporator line are shown in Figure 9, and a detail of the peanut fitting to be removed is shown in
Figure 10.
Figure 7. Detail of low pressure suction line disconnect.
Figure 8. Detail of the evaporator inlet line (firewall) disconnect.
Figure 10. Detail of the factory peanut fitting.
7. Modify the foam bumper insert to house the KC unit. Remove material from the foam bumper insert, similar to what is shown in Figure 11. Test fit the KC unit as you remove material, the KC fittings should be below the bottom of the radiator grille opening. If desired, the foam insert can be separated from the bumper to ease modification but it must then be re-attached to the bumper (with an electric fan mounting kit, for example). If you want to use the enclosed bracket, the foam material can be completely removed below the KC unit, and the bracket attached to the bottom of the bumper (as shown in Figure 12) to support the unit. Additional material will then also have to be removed to run the hoses out of the foam insert.
Figure 11. Detail of foam bumper insert modifications for KC unit.
Figure 12. Detail of the KC unit support bracket.
8. Install coolant water line from the heat exchanger to the KC unit. Depending on whether you have the factory or aftermarket heat exchanger installed this could be located at either the driver or passenger side. For this example an aftermarket dual pass unit was installed, and both the inlet and exit lines were on the passenger side. Use the enclosed heater hose and worm hose clamps. Figure 13 shows how the lines should be attached to the KC unit and the flow path of both the coolant and refrigerant lines. Figure 14 shows a detail of the line coming from the intercooler heat exchanger which uses one of the 90° PCV fittings to avoid kinking of the line. Two fittings have been included, use as necessary. Do not cut the hose until you are sure of the length by routing the line up to the KC unit first.
Figure 13. Detail of KC unit connections and flow paths.
Figure 14. Detail of the heat exchanger coolant outlet line.
9. Install coolant line from KC exit to intercooler. Install the hose from the intercooler inlet (hard line shown in
Figure 4) to the KC unit (coolant exit, Figure 12). Again use the included heater hose line and worm hose clamps, and do not cut the line until you are sure of the length required.
* BEFORE INSTALLING ANY OF THE NEW A/C FITTINGS AND LINES MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE O-RINGS AND PUT SOME PAG OIL (OR OTHER SUITABLE LUBRICANT) ON THEM. PUTTING PAG ON THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FITTINGS WILL ALSO HELP INSTALL THEM ONTO THE HOSES.
10. Install A/C line from condenser to KC inlet. Install the new A/C line (#8) from the condenser (peanut fitting) to the KC unit (inlet w/ orifice tube, Figure 13). Use the included high pressure line, connect the peanut fitting and 90° metal hose fitting together, and attach the #8 hose. A detail of how the high pressure hose clamps are attached is shown in Figure 15, with additional tips for crimping the clamps. Figure 16 shows a detail of the fitting and installed onto the condenser, note that there is a slight angle to avoid the hose from resting against a screw that protrudes from the fender. Test fit the assembled fitting prior to attaching. You will need an open end 13 mm wrench to get to the nut, remember the torque spec provided in Figure 9, do not over tighten or you may strip the bolt.
*Make sure that the peanut fitting is flush with the condenser. Once the peanut fitting is properly attached at the condenser route the #8 hose to the KC unit to determine the exact length required. Attach the #8 fitting and clamps to the hose and thread the fitting and finished line onto the KC unit A/C inlet line (Figure 13).
Figure 15. Detail of how the clamps attach the high pressure hose to the fittings.
Figure 16. Detail of the new A/C line attached to the condenser.
11. Install the new A/C line from the evaporator (firewall) to the KC unit exit. Use the supplied coupling and
thread the hose fitting and clamped #10 hose onto the coupling (Figure 17). The installed fitting (at the firewall) is
shown in Figure 18. Run the hose underneath the low pressure metal suction line, and if desired insulate all or part
of the line as shown in Figure 19. This will help keep the refrigerant going to the evaporator (and the cab) cooler. Similar to the condenser line, do not cut the hose until it has been routed to the KC unit. Attach the #10 fitting and clamps to the hose and thread onto the KC unit exit (Figure 13). The completed zip-tied lines (underneath the vehicle) are shown in Figure 20. Your installation may be different depending on heat exchanger and routing of lines.
Figure 17. Detail of the completed A/C coupling to be connected to the evaporator inlet (firewall).
Figure 18. Detail of the installed fitting and line to the evaporator inlet.
Figure 19. Detail of installed #10 line from KC exit.
Figure 20. Detail of final coolant and A/C line configuration with the KC installed.
12. Re-attach the low pressure suction line spring coupling. Once the KC to evaporator line is installed, re-attach
the low pressure line coupling to the accumulator. Double check all the coolant and A/C line connections and fittings before proceeding.
13. Re-connect the battery.
14. Refill intercooler reservoir. Use both anti-freeze and water due to the improved cooling, and insure that all air
pockets have been removed. The intercooler pump can be jumpered at the relay to run without the engine on.
Should the pump cavitate due to air, remove the upper hose coming from the intercooler at the reservoir and blow
strongly into the line, re-start the pump and continue to add fluid until the system is full. Depending on the model
of heat exchanger a stop cock can also be opened to remove additional air in the heat exchanger. Check for any
coolant leaks.
15. Reinstall the intake and air filter assembly. Remember to plug in the MAF and IAT1 sensors.
16. Vacuum the A/C system to remove moisture (low pressure side). An inexpensive air vacuum pump can be used if the proper capacity air compressor is available. This unit is shown in Figure 21. If R-134A is used insure at least 25 in-Hg of vacuum for 30-45 minutes prior to filling (depending on humidity). If ES-12A is used, a shorter time maybe sufficient since ES-12A is unaffected. A typical vacuum setup is shown in Figure 22 with an A/C gauge set also purchased at Harbor Freight.
Figure 21. Inexpensive air vacuum pump.
Figure 22. Example setup for pulling vacuum on the A/C.
17. Re-charge the A/C. Follow standard A/C service procedures for re-filling the system and checking the low and
high side pressures. Add in 2 oz. of PAG oil to the system, before adding refrigerant. Depending on the refrigerant 3-4 cans are needed to refill the system. Use A/C service charge pressure recommendations. One simple formula for determining the high side pressure is:
Average Ambient Temperature (F) X 2.3 = High Side Pressure (psi)
18. Re-attach the front bumper cover. Once the system is operational, and no leaks have been found, re-attach the
front bumper cover following the procedures shown in Figures 2 and 3 in reverse.
Depending on the vehicle modifications, ambient conditions, refrigerant and refrigerant pressure levels, the KC (at idle), should be able to reduce the ambient coolant temperatures down to mid-40’s (F) in about 4-5 minutes of operation. Installation of a temperature sensor in the coolant reservoir will provide an average temperature of the coolant. Placement of a temperature sensor into the KC coolant exit line (near the KC unit) will provide temperature of the coolant going into the intercooler.
An example of the results are shown in Figure 23. The A/C (w/ KC installed) is turned on with the car (cold). The ambient and coolant temperature (Figure 22a) is 81 F. After approximately 3-3.5 minutes of idling the coolant temperature is 50 F (Figure 22b). After about 5 minutes of idling the coolant temperature reaches 44 F (Figure 22c). The vent temperature (as measured with an IR probe) is 40 F.

What makes a great car show? Cars? Girls? Giveaways?
The AmericanMuscle.com Car Show it all, plus a $9,000+ to Homes for Our Troops Charity
MALVERN, PA (07/20/09)—Most car shows involve an hour of frantic polishing, followed by an hour of aimlessly walking the lot to check out the competition, and then finally, a good nap. But with 150 of the sweetest ‘Stangs ever to hit the road stationed door to door and bumper to bumper on every corner of the lot surrounded by more than a dozen top Mustang brands, each ready and eager to talk parts and performance, the 1st Annual AmericanMuscle Car Show and Charity Event was already set to be something different. Then add in a circling helicopter taking photos from 1,000 feet, a free dyno running from dawn ‘til dusk, free food and drink for all registered cars, more free stuff than you can carry in a mid-size sports coupe, and a slew of über-hot AmericanMuscle Girls strolling the lot, showing off their own fox bodies. Now that’s a car show.
Of course the central point of the July 19th event was the Best in Show competition. AmericanMuscle judges walked the lot all day long meticulously examining every show candidate. In the end, it was Tony Massimano’s fully-custom ’69 Mach 1 that took top prize. Here’s a list of the rest of the winners:
· Rick Bauman: President’s Choice Award: Torch Red ’05 GT
· Tommy Lee: Best ’05 to 2010 Mustang: Black ’06 GT Convertible
· Mike Baer: Best ’99 to ’04 Mustang: ’04 MystiChrome Cobra Convertible
· Donnie Huth: Best ’94 to ’98 Mustang: ’97 Cobra
· Rick Nagle: Best ’79 to ’93 Mustang: ’93 GT
In a day full of highlights, more than 1,000 showed up to walk and talk Mustangs, and show their support for Homes for Our Troops, a charity that buys or builds homes for disabled veterans. The goal for the day was to raise $5,000 for those that given more than we could ask while defending our freedom. But, when the day was done, and the money was counted, AmericanMuscle wrote a check for $8015 to its favorite charity. Adding to this number, the Garden State Region Mustang Club made an additional donation of $850, and an anonymous AmericanMuscle supplier also kicked in a check for $500, bringing the total donation to $9,365—a good day indeed.

Techco International has just released their 3.0L twin screw supercharger kit for the S197 Mustangs. Being comprised of several of the engineers that brought us the Saleen blower, Techco has the talent to deliver a powerful blower. How does it measure up?
Our test car is a 2006 Mustang GT (Auto) previously equipped with the Saleen supercharger kit, as sold by JDM Engineering. Prior to the Techco installation our test car was put back to stock minus American Racing 1 5/8” headers, catted X-pipe, Zoomer’s axleback, and GT500 fuel pumps. The installation of the Techco blower follows very closely with the other twin screw kits, so our review will concentrate on the differences of the install, and the performance of the blower.

Cobra Jet Announcement – May 2009
VIDEO CAN BE SEEN HERE: Hajek Motorsports Denver in car cam MOVIE 2Brent Hajek of Hajek Motorsports of Ames, Oklahoma owns quite a few of the latest Ford Cobra Jet Mustangs. In Feb this year, Brent contacted FB Performance Transmissions and Pro Torque Converters, because of concerns he had regarding the strength and durability of the existing C-4 transmissions being used in some of his race cars. No sooner did FB quote a replacement Pro Competition AO3 transmission when two of the C-4’s were already began having serious problems after only two events. After repeated repairs it was obvious that these units could not survive a long racing schedule.FB then supplied Hajek Motorsports with an AO3 Stage-2 transmission and an 8” Full Race converter specifically built for Super Stock Class racing. Any concerns about efficiency and durability were completely dispelled at the recent launch of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series at S.R.C.A.. Dragstrip in Great Bend, Kansas on April 25th.On the first qualifying pass, Brent’s 3660 lb. Cobra Jet had a 1.32 60ft and went a 10.32 ET. off the “foot” brake while operating at 5000 feet of air. This was enough to make his car easily the No.1 Qualifier in the “A” Stock class. By comparison, the same type of car with a stick could only manage a 1.42 60ft. and 10.60 ET. Quite a difference!We’re not at liberty to reveal what the Cobra Jet turned during the test and tune passes, but Brent commented after the event that he believed that the car would go a 9.60 at sea level without a problem. This event only reinforced everyone’s beliefs that the AO3 transmission would not only out perform the C-4, but would last a heck of a lot longer. Any myths about the reliability and performance of properly race-built AOD were completely dispelled.More information about the AO3 transmission can be viewed on the following links:http://www.fbperformance.com/page.asp?get=23&t=Top2 http://www.fbperformance.com/PrintTrans.asp?TransmissionID=79Or contact: http://www.fbperformance.com/ContactUs.asp

Livernois New Products Release
Crankshaft Scraper
Livernois Motorsports is proud to introduce another exciting new product for the Ford 4.6 Modular engine. Livernois custom Ford Modular crankshaft scraper brings a modification once reserved for race only engines to the mainstream and makes it both affordable and easy to install for the home user.
Oil windage and the parasitic losses that go with them are the enemy of any performance or racing engine. The purpose of a crankshaft scraper is to remove this excess oil from the rotating assembly and free up some of that parasitic drag. Crankshaft scrapers have long existed for the more popular engine options such as the SBC and SBF engines. This custom scraper brings those same benefits to the Ford Modular engine. The scraper is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and is CNC machined to exacting specs. The design is custom built around a 3.750 stroke setup and is a perfect fit. The leading edge is designed to shear oil off the rotating components and throw it towards the oil pan and sump. The outside perimeter has return slots machined into it to allow any other oil to return to the pan without getting trapped between the rotating assembly and the scraper.
The scraper is also designed to work in conjunction with our own oil drainback kit. The scraper has reliefs cut into the tray to allow the drainbacks to pass through them into the pan. This allows for a very efficient oil control system when the two pieces are used together in a system. Both the drainback kit and scraper work very well on their own at controlling oil but together as a team they provide the ultimate in oil control for you Ford Modular engine.
The scraper is a simple bolt on installation and requires no tools or modifications. It is designed to be a direct bolt on. The use of a second oil pan gasket is all that is required to install the scraper. When installed the scraper is sandwiched in between two factory ford oil pan gaskets to create a leak free seal. No sealants are required. With the variance in oil pickups between pans there are some pickups that are a bolt on installation while others may require removal or trimming of the tube scraper. This varies from installation to installation though.
