i have a 4.2L V6 what would you recommend for that and a brand and aprox price ive been having a hard time finding one so anybody that actually has one in the same kind of truck i have would be great

thanks

 

Talk to Pilot over at got-pressure.com, he specializes in custom turbo and procharger set-ups. The starter kit utilizes a Garrett 67mm turbo with many upgrade options depending on the size of your pocket-book.

I have the 4.6L, but their getting 400-420 rwhp on a stock 4.6 with upgraded fuel system.
The only reason I haven't dropped the hammer yet, is because I have recently moved to California and have to wait to Sept. to go back home. I don't think I could pass the visual inspection with the hair-dryer under the hood. I have a hard enough time with the AF1.

He even does installations if you're close enough to Dallas to travel.

I'm not going to discuss actual price, all I'll say is $5700+(depending on you)unless you piece the kit and install yourself

 

yeah i live in california and im a bit worried about the turbo because of the polution on the startup

would i have to like take it out and then have it inspected and then put it back do you know?

thanks for the reply

 

WAY to much trouble, just to pass smog.

I'm not sure what to do for a V-6 thats Ca emissions approved. I'd ask Pilot over at got-pressure and see what he has to say.

 

ok thank you, if you got any other info please feel free to update me im new to everything involved

 

checkout v6f150.com

F150s w/ V-6s making lots of power, you can ask questions over there

Talley has a V6 in the 13's on N2O

What year truck is it?

 

Startup pollution isn't the problem...exhaust emisions really isn't, either, so long as you have a good tune and are running cats.

It's the visual test that's the problem.
No CARB placard = you fail

You would have to do one of the following:
- take the turbo (and related plumbing) off, which is a huge PITA
- find a shop that will look the other way for the visual, and test you with the sniffer alone
- find a shop that will pass you regardless...this will cost a lot of money, and good luck finding one because the penalties are very steep for any shop that does this

Best bet is to find a CARB approved blower. That's the main reason why I bought a Procharger for my truck.
