TruboTruck Project
When I intorduced myself a while back I mentioned I was working on a turbo set up on my 95 F150. Well I thought I would give an update on it. I finished it and started it up for the first time on Tuesday night. I am very happy it fired up the second I turned it over. Idles pretty good, but still needs to be tuned better. I just threw in a quick tune to get it to run.
List of mods
GT-40 Intake swap
36# injectors
255lph fuel pump
adjustable FP reg.
Garrett Turbocharger 57mm
custom plumbing with 3" down and exhaust with single bullit muff.
tuned with Tweecer and me.
here are some pics of it. I also have a ton of pic and a first start vid on www.myspace.com/tanterror

Well I am assuming the stockers in this engine are Hyper-U-Craptic pistons. But I am not 100% sure. I didn't change them. I know FORD put forged pistons in a few years on the mustangs, but who knows. Yeah I have pulled a lot of timing out above 50% load right now. I haven't had a turbo car, but my stang was supercharged for a long time so I am kind of following the same thing I did when I tuned it. But having some issues on this one, I can't get my datalogging to work right at the moment.

You did a good job within the stock engine compartment. What did you do with the overflow&WSW reservoir?
Could use some charge cooling.
If you decide to intercool, the sawzall gonna half to come out.
Have you considered methanol injection? Small, effective & less expensive.

finally got around to installing the intercooler... So much better now. I am running like 7 to 8 psi and it pulls really hard. super sleeper. I still have tuning to do, right now only running like 10* total timing, but still is runs real strong.
here are a couple of pics of the intercooler install. Just tonight i got around to putting some expanded metal behind the hole in the bumper, to help protect the intercooler.
