What all do I need to be aware of when building up my '06 Mustang GT to 800-900 HP?
I drive an '06 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L. I'm by no means an automotive expert. I'm somewhat new to the hobby but am learning all that I can and have a lot of experienced friends to guide me. My current issue is that I don't know what the whole drive assembly (Axels, driveshaft, ect.) are rated at stock. I don't know if they will fail or break apart when my car hits those high levels of power.
I currently have it supercharged with a Kenne Bell 2.6L V3 Model TS pushing 8.5 Lbs of boost. I already know how to hit 800 HP by kicking up the boost to 19 lbs, replacing the engine internals with forged components and getting a new set of cams.
So my questions are what are the drive assembly (I'm sorry I don't know what its called, the axels, driveshaft ect. Basically anything that can break under extreme power) rated at? Can the stock components handle 800 HP? My second question is will the engine block be able to contain everything without cracking or otherwise breaking?
You're already running more boost than is recommended for a stock 3 valve 4.6L. The aluminum 3 valve 4.6L block is good for around 700 HP, any more than that and you'll probably have to get the cylinders sleeved.
" Can the stock components handle 800 HP?"
Hell no, you'll need a new transmission, the stock TR-3650 will not handle that kind of power, nor will the stock clutch. You'll probably want to look into the carbon fiber driveshaft from a later GT500. The rear axle can be rebuilt to handle that much power, but you may want to consider a 9 inch swap.
Getting a 3 valve 4.6L to 800-900 HP is probably not a realistic goal. People who are making that kind of power usually start off with an 03/04 Cobra 4 valve 4.6L or start off with a FRPP alluminator block. Or most commonly a 5.4L-5.8L GT500 block. Either one of those would be easy and cheaper to get to 800-900 HP.
No offense, but you're already treading on thin ice by running 8.5 pounds of boost on an engine with cast internals Sounds like you have more money than knowledge, a dangerous combination.
That STRENGTH is very important. Especially connecting rods and crankshaft.
- Why is Ford Motor Company so racist they are canceling building a new factory in Mexico and chose to instead expand their plant in Michigan? By 700 jobs instead? What do these racists have against Mexicans? Is Ford Motor so racist they don't have any choice at all in the matter, they have to vote conservative? https://www.usatoday.com/...o6zLrdOeTk Cenj Uygur the Snarkster coming at you racist cons!
- Where do i start building my own Replica super cars? I have a list. I want the Lamborghini Murcielago SV Lamborghini Aventador SV Shelby GT350R Ford GT I don't want to buy kits. I want to MAKE the kits. How do i start? (I sculpt as a hobby) So i know how to sculpt. I've made several small sized sculpted cars. What i want to know is what type of material is used to make the body? I would prefer something cheap as hell. What type of material do those sellers make their kits of? Is it Carbon Fiber?
- Cadillac(GM) is building an ATS-V. What about you, Lincoln (F)? Planning on building a rival? I recommend building a 365-hp, 3.5L Ford Taurus SHO V6-powered, all-wheel-drive MKZ SVT to take on Cadillac's new 420-hp, rear-drive ATS-V. The ATS-V would also be a V6, but it's gonna be a 3.6. If the MKZ sells better in terms of monthly sales than the ATS the MKZ SVT should be it! Expect a mid-four-second 0-60-mph time, $55,000+ price tag, and good fuel economy (18+ mpg in the city, 24+ on the highway).
- 94 Ford ranger should I buy for 800$? It has rust repaired nicely on body, runs great, standard trans, but has NO power steering it is the base model with absolutely no extras and was bought this way. Tires are size 14. Wondering if I should pick this upnor not as I know very little about trucks and have never driven standard or without power steering but the price seems good for a truck and I need one.
