It's Blue Oval boy Kevin's turn to take over the shop and kick Ryan out as he takes a radical approach to more power by turbocharging his V-8. Hidden under the bed, a tailpipe turbo spins up the boost while bigger fuel injectors and a new fuel management system pump up the power on this big red Ford.

I opened the remote line valve, it sprayed CO2 straight into the cold air intake pipe, and SOMETHING DEFINITELY HAPPENED....

Michael Cuff ... Adding a supercharger doesn't lighten the vehicle. Or were you talking about two different procedures? Lightening the vehicle elsewhere and then adding a supercharger to the lightened vehicle? Lightening about any vehicle will help with acceleration if enough weight is removed. Of course it needs to be taken from an area that won't reduce drive tires traction, or it could be detrimental to actual acceleration, due to wheel spin.

@Adam Lolno hydrolocking is when you intake a liquid (almost always water of some sort, rain, wading through a river etc) into the motor and cylinders. Water is a lot denser than air, and it cant be compressed as well. Your pistons rise in the cylinders and try to compress something that doesnt compress and your motor almost 99% of the time is completely trashed, like throwaway worthy. His intake (the filter on the turbo) is under the car.... with no shield.... on a lowered truck.... you get me?

Exactly. You will be forced to install the oxygen sensors in the pressure side of the exhaust system then. Wideband (and to a lesser extent narrowband) oxygen sensors will have their results skewed by the pressure differential between the sense element and ambient. AEM makes a kit for their multiple wideband controller that includes an exhaust MAP sensor and can compensate accordingly, but thats so far the only kit I know of that can do that function. You also have to deal with the increased heat levels pre turbo.

When I was 18 I worked at a buy here, pay here dealership and he got on a pickup kick. For some reason he bought a red 93 Lightning 351 and a black 90 Chevy 454SS at auction and I drove them both because I grew up in the 80s and 90s, so these trucks were icons. The 454SS was quick, but in stock form other than an exhaust, it wasn't very much faster than a standard single cab 350 1500. The Lightning felt totally different from a standard 302 powered F-150, or even a 351 powered F-250. It was quick and powerful and it actually handled decently after we replaced the shocks, springs, and all bushings. I honestly couldn't imagine turbocharging that truck, and if the engine is healthy enough without blowby and no oil consumption, it'll handle more than 7-10 lbs of boost with supporting mods like new quality MLS head gaskets, head studs, a boost focused cam, maybe some heads (but not necessary), bigger injectors, larger fuel pump, and a standalone engine management system like Megasquirt or AEM. With a good tune that 351 with the STS kit should have no problem making 6-700 whp (depending on how big the exhaust housing is on that turbo and how much boost it's capable of producing. That being said, you could always upgrade the turbocharger later down the road. The same could be said for that 454, but it can also be Procharged...😉

Wish the Ford build went stroker build. Like a 396+. I'm sure wherever this truck is now hopefully someone took off the garage rear turbo set up.

Wrap the exhaust pipe, or have it ceramic coated. It's the heat that drives the turbo. The gases expand when they cool. You don't want them to lose heat before use.

Around about how much money did y'all have to put into each of these trucks to upgrade them? I'm wanting a newer Camaro ss2, but the price for one is ridiculous so I'm considering going this route, but not if it'll come out to about the same price after the upgrades

let's put a turbo behind a hot engine and above a hot exhaust.

@bmw328igearhead 4 жыл бұрын

If you knew anything... remote turbos run cooler than engine mounted turbos. Aaannnnnddddd last I checked, turbos RUN off of heat anyway, sooo mild efficiency loss... But being a few inches away (hot side vs cold side) will NOT make that much of a difference. If they were incontact with each other I could see an issue. It will survive longer remotely mounted, as it won't see the same heat cycling. A proper intake will give the turbo zero issues from ingesting debris. To anyone chirping lag... Minimal lag from remote mount turbo, this isn't a 1000whp beast with 90mm turbos, people that don't know boost, chirp about *lag*... size your exhaust appropriately (not using 4 inch hot side throughout, yes 2 inch works just fine on a truck V8 at those power levels) and learn how to weld so your pipe joints don't look like clusters of grapes (no leaks)... No intercooler required when you have 12-15 feet of boost tubing running through the air. *I love all the youtuber comments from boys that think they own/run race teams... This a JUST above stock truck...nothing more Turn off Forza/Gran Turismo and get out of your mama's basement!*

There used to be a band called Lagwagon and they rocked. They should name this truck Lagwagon in tribute to the band and in reference to the 15sqft of intake that has to be pressurized before boost comes on.
