Those cars are in a different class than the 4.0 mustang. Look at the price difference. But I can tell you there is a ford inline six engine that can hang with the supra engine. Its the falcon motor out of Ford Australia. I almost went that route when I blew my 4.0. I had several talks with Mike @ Powerhouse about that motor. Its a bad *** motor and makes gobs of TQ. What held me back was the lead time on parts from Australia. Meaning if something broke on my car, I was looking at best a 3 week lead time, up to a 3 month lead time meaning if I broke the car in the middle of drag racing season, I'd be screwed.

There is a misperception that keeps coming alive about twin turbos, like they are some mythical unicorn of the turbo world. They don't make more power than a single. The reason early on for twin turbo designs was to address turbo lag. A properly sized turbo does just fine and turbo technologies have advanced a lot over the years meaning very little lag. At the end of the day, boost is boost, regardless of how many turbos are under the hood.

I've talked to Tom @ SSM a few times, and he's not going to have a recipe for 1000 to the rear wheels for the 4.0. I had better flowing heads and cams than the stage 3 SSM setup, and the best I could get out of the car was 535.

ok lots of info thanks is there anyway you can do dual superchargers??

rygenstormlocke

Yea, sure. Dual super chargers and dual turbos...with nitrous, all at the same time. Don't forget the jet engine that we can duct tape to the back of the car.

I think you can do like a turbocharger and an x-charger with a modified cold air/regular intake. I have heard of people doing stuff like that. Running turbo's and roots blowers or turbos and whipples. But this you have to know is a very costly project and you are better off just selling the V6, getting a GT500 and putting money into that. 2 F/I options + custom fabbing + install + forged internals + tuning + exhaust + suspension + wheels/DRs or slicks is going to run you probably upwards of $20k if you're lucky. Gt500= 12's stock and almost any mods on it=huge gains.

right now im keeping my v6 for the gas mileage and im thinking i will do a turbo to get better gas mileage and see what i want to do after that I want a 350-400 torque dd.

WTF....this is a BS post. GAS MILEAGE?? really you want to spend 20k+ on a setup but paying a couple bucks more for gas is to much. I am locking this thread i think

Mustang_Joe

Turbo will give you 1-2mpg more, but is a wash since you are paying a lot of $ for the kit, install, and tuning. You want 350-400torque at the wheels or crank?

I would suggest if you're concerned about mpg, sell/trade-in the car and buy a new Cobalt SS/TC. They make high 200's at the crank stock. A intake/tune/spring(more psi)/exhaust should easily get you what you are looking for and mid 30's highway mpg.

Mustang_Joe

First he wanted 1000hp. Then he wants dual f/i's. Now he wants better mpg and thinks paying $5k+ for a turbo kit and then more for install and tuning is the way to go.

Do it .

I find this thread funny!! haha I like the part where he wants to get to 1000hp which would be a waste of money and a ton o money and then asks for some free stuff.

Do you consistantly drag race? I would love to see a 1000hp v6 mustang drive daily on the street most likely would not be legal to say the least. And I wouldn't put 350-400rwhp unless you have the money to replace a lot of things. I believe fazm would give you a list of broken parts.

If I had a dime for everytime I heard the phrase "mythical unicorn turbo"...
