Id be interested in the cams. I would also be interested in the rods and turbo kit depending on price.

Unless you want to put a 3.4 on your 5.4 PM me and we can talk

i think hes trying to sell the car complete, not parting it out

It doesnt hurt to ask. Plus I have a built 5.4 already. No need to buy another one. The gf would kill me . lol

that is most definitely correct. thanks for painting that out.
Please, no low balls but please dont be afraid to make an offer.

Drove it over 100miles yesterday. its feels like a n/a 5.4 below 5k rpms and then pulls like a jet from 5k to redline.. i need small turbos or an auto.. im leaning towards auto..
I doubt I will sell it now, unless the price is right, which is unlikely in this market.. It is very unique and gets a lot of attention.

^^^Yes! Glad you decided to keep it.

Damn straight. KEEP IT

th400 with 4k stall

Well, it's no surprise there's a ton of lag. Swap them out for some 61's or something and you'll have good spool and still make over 1000rwhp.

th400 with 4k stall

He'd need a higher stall than that with his setup......

What size are the exhaust housings??

 

[Blown02]

i think they are precision 67s with 76 wheels...68 exhaust housings 3" open downpipes. ill check

the motor is a 5.4 dohc with 9.5:1 compression

 

[Turbo98]

What size are the exhaust housings??

Big, lol. The turbos have a 76mm compressor wheel if I'm not mistaken. So will the exhaust housing a/r really be that much of a factor at this point? I mean realistically, unless he's looking to make 1200+rwhp, smaller turbos would work out better for a street car.

 

[y2k2gt]

I'd try the smallest exhaust housing before buying new turbos.

 

[AntiHeightPunk]

agree

 

[Blown02]

well, i think a really need a th400.. but im not sure if thats all i need.. might need smaller turbos or housings like yall are saying.

 

[y2k2gt]

You've been wanting an automatic for long time.... It would make the car crazy nasty.

Do NOT put a th400 in this car. You will RUIN it. Take my advice since i am pretty much identical to you. A Th400 will make the car feel even slower than it already is.

 

[Blown02]

why is that? everyone else is running th400s and have nothing but GREAT things to say about it..
i appreciate the response, but would love to hear why you say so
thanks!

How small of a housing can you get on a 67mm turbo? Even if you could get a .48 a/r housing, going down from a .68 isn't worth the money IMO. You might as well invest/trade for smaller turbos. An auto might make it better but it still is not going to make it's potential power until late in the RPM band. These turbos are HUGE! You figure guys are making 700+rwhp with ONE of these. The car would be much more driveable with smaller turbos. Why have turbos this big unless you are racing it and planning on making over 1200-1300rwhp. Just my opinion.
