Looks like they have a kit for the 5.4

 

I don't have one on order. But it certainly looks interesting. Any idea on a price?

 

Here is what the order form looks like. Looks like $3000-$3500 plus the turbo...

There is probably a substantial amount of money to be saved by deleting the intercooler that comes with the kit.

That price also must include headers ($1,000).

So, if the intercooler delete is $500, and subtracting the cost of the headers (assuming that you would otherwise be buying a set), that gets us down to a net cost of $1,500-2,000 plus a turbo.

Power level changes are a snap with a turbo -- get a bigger turbo and/or adjust the waste gate. One strategy for good low-end boost is to run a big turbo and bleed off the boost as RPMs rise.

And you can run a pretty wide-open exhaust without excessive noise levels.

I would love to see some more info on this kit.

 

The Gen 1 kit ($3,000) includes:

"TiAL 38mm Billet Wastegate, 3 Core Bar & Plate Air-to-Air Intercooler, Dual 4 into 1 Tubular Headers w/ 1/2" Thick Laser Cut Header Flanges, 2 ½" Cross Over w/ Flex Joint , Air Craft Grade Silicone Hoses, SS Hose Clamps, All Welds are TIG Welded, Black Ceramic Coated Hot Parts, Silver Powder Coated Inlet Tubes, 3" Down Pipe and All Hot parts use V-Band Clamp connections for LEAK FREE operation. ( Less Turbo ) Turbo Head Units are Available at Additional Cost in the Options section to the right fo the page. ** Install is about 12-15 hrs."

Street turbos are $900-$1,500

 

Umm... you can't really delete the headers (unless you have a set of turbo headers around already?)

Aren't the headers pretty much to most important part of a turbo system (besides the turbo of course)

Coldie

 

I think what Tim was trying to say was most Lightning owners who purchase headers will spend approximately $1000 on them. They come included in the turbo kit. So pay $1000 for the headers then tack on additional $3000 for a Kenne Bell you have $4000 spent when you could have paid $3500 for a turbo kit which included turbo headers then add an extra $1500 for a decent turbo for a grand total of $5000. That isn't much more than the KB and headers and you can make a lot more power with a turbo.

 

You probably dont want to do a header delete. The popular long tubes for the lightning wouldn't likely be ideal for a turbo motor. In many cases with a turbo you want shorter headers to locate the turbo closer to the heads so that you can preserve heat and velocity entering the turbo. Of course, I dont know what kind of flexibility you have for locating the turbo given our engine's position so far back in the engine bay.

*edit*

I think i just said the same thing as easter

 

Would that kit with a T76 be safe with a Predator tune, or do ya think a custom tune would be needed?

I'm totally stock for at least another year...someone needs to try this thing out. When I finally start modding I want to skip all the dud mods and go straight to the good stuff.

 

The Car below has a Pro Turbo Kit on it The Air to Air intercooler with stock air to water intercooler and ice water running thru Air to water is a killer combo. A T76 is prolly way more than you want on a Street Driven Lightning, A T62 will make way more power than 90% of the people on this board need or want.

 

Man can you say drool!?

 

I was looking for something to go on my 91 lx. They have their kit for only $2500 w/o turbo...

 

So whos gonna do it

 

Paul Duckett in Poplar Bluff, Mo, has a gen 2 with a twin turbo smallblock, but its DART based and not a mod motor. The bed was replaced with a lightweight fiberglass unit and the front sheetmetal is now carbon fiber, plus its on a full chrome moly tube chassis. I think the doors are also fiberglass now. Its got a 5-speed Lenco with a 3 disk clutch, and should run in the low 7's/high 6's in NHRA Top Sportsman trim. He'll be taking the title away from Jason Brown's blown alcohol gen 1 of worlds fastest Lightning this year, for sure. Duckett's gen 2 makes all the 10 second 'race trucks' seem like kittens. I think its also Pro 5.0 legal, other than not being a mustang.

 

Actually you are confused. What easter said was what I said, which was 180 degrees from what you said. Or something.

I am not suggesting deleting the turbo headers -- that would be impossible. It's just that the headers (a $1K value) are included already in the turbo kit, so that's almost like getting $1K off.
