Boost The Performance Of Your 2011 – 2014 V6 Mustang With an AIRAID Jr Kit
- Oct 20, 2016
The then new Duratec 3.7 liter V-6 engine produced 305 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 285 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm. Owners of 2011 – 2014 Mustangs can boost that output even further with installation of a simple, no-hassle 450-745 AIRAID Jr intake kit. Despite the fact that the 3.7 liter V-6 engine was used initially in transversely mounted front-drive crossovers, engineers converted it to a rear-drive engine for the Mustang with a forged steel crankshaft with six bolt mains, and connecting rods, unique four valves per cylinder heads, a new heavily ribbed and reinforced cylinder block, a 10.5:1 compression ration with flycut pistons for valve clearance at maximum lift, a new front cover and accessory drive, new composite intake manifold. What makes the AIRAID Jr kit so effective on the 3.7 liter V6 Mustang is how Ford engineered the engine and the car in the first place. First, the fuel injection system is adaptive so it can deliver additional fuel as the engine needs it. Further the ECU has been upgraded with very rapid tip-in for street performance. On the flip side, the ECU has been reprogrammed with adaptive-knock spark control. If the two knock sensors embedded in the cylinder block don’t hear knocking, the ECU will keep advancing the spark until it does. Finally, the V-6 Mustang is fitted with a dual exhaust system. A key to making power is to get spent gases out of the combustion chamber as quickly and efficiently as possible and dual exhaust go a long way to help the cause. To improve the inflow of air into the engine, AIRAID has developed the AIRAID Jr kit, which replaces only those components in the intake system that most limit performance, while leaving the other, less critical, parts in place. While the AIRAID Jr kit is a more affordable solution, you won’t achieve quite the same power gains as a full-on AIRAID kit. Though it’s a great starting point for enthusiasts on a budget or for those who’ve never installed an aftermarket intake system and want to see what kind of difference one can make. The application for this AIRAID Jr kit is the fabulous 2011 – 2014 Ford Mustang, equipped with the 3.7 liter V6. With its four valve per cylinder, high-capacity fuel injection, and sophisticated ECU an engine with the breathing ability of the 3.7 liter V-6 could make good use of a larger quantity of intake air. And this is where the 450-745 AIRAID Jr kit, comes in. The system specifically targets the most restrictive elements of the Mustang’s factory intake system, the intake tube and the paper filter, in order to help boost power and mileage. The AIRAID Jr kit consists of an AIRAID premium dry synthetic direct-fit replacement filter and an AIRAID modular intake tube. As with other AIRAID intake systems, the AIRAID Jr kit helps to straighten and improve air flow to the engine for improved throttle response, plus it helps boost horsepower and torque. The 450-745 kit is custom made to fit 2011 – 2014 V-6 Ford Mustangs and is easy to install, comes with detailed instructions, can be installed in a morning with only common hand tools, and requires no drilling. And something not all cold air intake system manufacturers can claim: the 450-745 AIRAID Jr air intake system for the 2011 – 2014 V-6 Ford Mustang is street legal in all 50 US states.
