i could guess but that would be cheating since i already know

hey r3d when you have time try it at ~14 psi, i'm thinking i'll trade the s-trim in for a T trim or sell it and get a novi2000RR

r3dn3ck · 05-27-2008, 11:00 AM

480rwhp + assuming that there's an air-air intercooler in there somewhere at 14lbs. T t-trim would put you over 500 as would the novi. The smaller 4.6 oriented compressors are a tad small for the 5.4 IMO. Properly sized turbos at the same boost will net 60-80hp more at the peak and a lot of tq through the boosted rpm band.

myillwillinc · 05-27-2008, 11:57 AM

these should be okay. (twin 57mm hybrids. volvo wastegate actuators,.70 compressor a/r,.63 exhaust a/r these will support a little over 500hp each) this is what the guy i got them from listed. there is a turbo place here that wants to offer help on my project so i should be okay with these puppies.

myillwillinc · 05-27-2008, 12:52 PM

r3d - can u plug the turbos in your software at 15psi to see how they look?

proto · 05-27-2008, 04:11 PM

has anyone made a complete parts list and write up yet?

myillwillinc · 05-27-2008, 09:54 PM

here's a deal for someone on here:

r3dn3ck · 05-28-2008, 07:31 AM

15psi with twins should be 550-600bhp or better depending on the cam. Turbos are made or broke by the cam timing.

Proto: Chiltons has all the install manual you need. Parts list varies depending on what you end up doing. Besides, this way keeps people checking in and asking questions.

myillwillinc · 05-28-2008, 08:18 AM

i might sell my 278's then and go with turbo cams and adjustablr cam gears if it will make a big diff.

Nightwing · 05-28-2008, 12:12 PM

WhiteStang97 · 05-28-2008, 04:02 PM

intake you need a sullivan
wiring same as 2v to cobra motor
no exhaust issues other than fitment like the 5.4 2v

the cylinder heads are physically larger and you will need to use custom motor mounts to clear the hydrabooster

myillwillinc · 05-29-2008, 01:48 PM

ok, here are the new 'mufflers' i'm installing on the 5.5....

eer custom motor mounts

sounds a little tricky

so there are pretty much no wiring issues then.

and will the stock exhaust headers work on it still...are there any aftermarket shorties that will fit??

Must See · 05-29-2008, 05:33 PM

just a quick question. Is this a good deal?

Contact Maximum Motorsports and ask about the 1/2" (12mm) k-member spacers. I've chatted with MM's owner several times about the specifics so it'd be quick and easy to do. I don't know if they're in production but they're easy for them to chop up and fairly cheap to make. That takes care of the whole hydrobooster clearance issue. The 00' Cobra R used a 12mm drop on the motor to clear so we figured that was a good starting point.

in general... without details it's hard to say.
