building a v6

[00 4V Stang]

So i like being the person who doesn't follow everyone else and i have decided i would build my 2000 v6 mustang. i know everyone will be like oh go buy a gt and dont waste your money on a v6 well i want to so im going to do it. P.S. in two years ill graduate from automotive school and ill be getting a 03 cobra. but for right now im doing my v6. my goal is to have 400 Hp. right now i have the basic bolts on.
- 42% udps
- pypes H-pipe with flowmaster catback
- bbk intake cut and made into short ram. has box built around it.
- bbk throttle body and spacer that came with it
- msd plugs
right now im working on getting my water-methanol system working- i got it for free from a uncle
this may or june getting a turbo kit with mac lt's that have been modified to work a turbo. getting rid of he pypes h-pipe
until i get me forged internals im only going to be running 5 psi which should make around 300 hp
getting a cobra brake kit
i have a 8.8 from a 98 gt but i need to modified it to fit mine (just have to drill oles bigger)

i probably forgot stuff but ill add it as i think about it.

no body was like that when i built my DIY turbo kit for my 01 v6 mustang! i had it posted up on here but they lost the post's when the site crashed 2 years ago! i made 298 hp on 10 psi non intercooled!

yeah there is a couple v6's on here that are pretty stout. I dont think anyone cars as long as its a mustang, or something that is fast. Start a build thread.

Nothing wrong with doing your own thing at all. I had a 75 Nova in high school with a 250 straight six, threw a Clifford research 4bbl intake, header and isky cam in it, gave many a v-8 a run for their money.

my buddy has a nova not sure on the year but he has done some stuff to it and i love it.
what size was the turbo?? the turbo im getting is liek a t-35 or 40 i forget but it should make my car have about 300 at 5 psi and at 10 probably 400 to 450 hp

my turbo is a garrett T70 with a p trim .84 exhaust housing! i think with a smaller exhaust housing like a .68ar it would spool little faster around 2800 rpm , the engine was completely stock! even with your mod list and a gt35r ball bearing turbo i think you would be lucky to push 250 hp to the rollers a 5 psi of boost! but good luck a dyno is where the B S ends!

When it comes time, and you do the internals, you may want to get the stuff to make it a 4.2L.

The first engine I built with my dad was a 2.8L Ford V6. Had it balanced, Offenhauser 4V intake, 390CFM Holley, Erson Cam, Clifford long tube headers, bored .030, home ported heads, 4 speed, 4:11 gears in a 78 Mustang II coupe, it ran 14.70's. That was circa 1984!:eek: I have no idea how much HP it was making...that was long before everyone and their brother had car dynomometers.:lol:
Never be afraid to do your own thing!
Keep us up to date. :bigthumb

Go here and flip through until you see the black S197...it's making 535hp/600tq with a turbo V6.
