Ok i have 1000 to spend i have a 95 factory v6 stang with 3.73 gears, what should i get to boost my horsepower. And how much will it increase my HP. Please Help me out. I would like to do this soon.

 

Search for a used blower. Blower+3.73's=fun.

 

Find a used procharger kit for you car you'll make some good gains. Or start dropping some weight and get a tubular k-member and coil over kit!

 

nitrous kit or a used supercharger would be what i would look for.

 

yeah for a v6, nitrous would be your best bet. I'd never get it w/ my newer GT, but the older v6's need some pickup and the nitrous gives some insane torque numbers

 

thats funny because i would never put n20 on my v6, but i would if i had a v8 /shrug

with 1000$ you could do a split port swap . . . which is good for 45-50hp, you might want to look into it.

other then that n20 or saving up for a used blower is about the best you can do

 

sorry but he asked how could he boost up the hp in his sixer...not how he could buy a GT

lol and thanks for sticking up for the sixers against that ricer GT man in the pic thread

 

because it wouldnt be a v6 . .

DUH

definatly dont get a GT, expecually a 94 lol

 

ok, first off wait for the nos and blower, if you got a blower your compression is to high to get much boost out of it so save your money. second if your guna spend the money you should swap out your heads and manifold b/c the 94 - 98 v6's have single port heads n intake, try to get an 01 - 04 v6 heads and manifold cause they have split port and replace the stock cam with a billet 1 youll get about 35 - 40 hp and torque, next you should put a stroker in it and stroke it to 4.2 liters all that might run you a little past 1g mayb around 1200 or so, but go to www.rpm-mustangs.com and talk to mike and tell him Tim talked ya into it lol he'll take care of ya

 

stock compression is to high for boost aye? not sure who ya heard that from but its fine for boost 9.3:1, i've ran 8psi unintercooled, 11psi intercooled and now im about to run 14psi intercooled all on stock compression and 93 octaine.

As for the other stuff, it is a good idea to go split port swap, if you have the mechanical apptitude.

 

lol other then your single port knowledge what the heck are you smoking????

 

a stroker kit will be more than a grand when all is said and done. Installation and little details will expand the cost even further. Good idea but not for his budget. The H/C/I swap seems like a good place to start and you should be able to pull it off if you can get a hook up on the labor. Around here a head gasket job costs about 800 bucks so it's likely to be a little over budget. I'd go the blower route. Every mod you do from then on is pure gravy and it's not uncommon to find V6 blower kits used in the 800-1200 range. You could even possibly use the blower from an old T-Bird super coupe (not sure on that but basically the same engine and computer... someone slap me down if I'm wrong.)

I've seen dozens of old t-bird blowers go for a few hundred bucks and you can often find one at pick-and-pull for a hundred or so and spend the rest on a bevy of other upgrades.

 

the M90 isnt that bad of a swap for a single port engine, but it would be a bit harder then your average vortech/procharger install

 

A bit harder isnt even the word for it. Trust me we started to do it. It's awful nothing fits w/o modifications of some kind.

 

You'll have to forgive my ignorance but, what kind of issues are there? It's the same basic engine so if you yank all the supporting parts then it should be cake, shouldn't it?

I'm looking at doing something like that on my wife's Taurus, so this is actually important info for me.

 

firstoff, it has to be a single port intake setup, not split port.

I have not done it but i do know that the snout of the M90 comes out to far, so the belt assembly doesnt line up. Then the way the intercooler setup is a pain.

Im not too sure beyond that

 

wires need extended.....the intercooler is not doing anything setting where it is. You have to modify an occasional hole in the pully brackets. trust me when its on there. There is no room to work or do anything.

 

i hear it is a lot easyer to just swap an entire supercoupe engine into it rather then doing the M90 swap

 

noted. Thanks for the tips... back to our regularly unscheduled programming.

 

No doubt. Other then the intercooler, tune, routing the throttle body cable and a few things it wouldnt be too bad.

 

Well thank you all!!
