Twin Turbo V6 Project

[zackmd1]

Same train of thought as me haha! I was planning on running around 6-8psi of boost.

Haha! Nice! Just make sure MPT knows that you want a gradual torque curve! From what I have read, that is what can kill the 3.7. Some people have tried to tune a FI 3.7 to have massive torque at very low rpm only to find that the engine cant handle it. So a gradual build up to max torque (what I mean by gradual is like 200tq at 1750rpm building linearly to 400tq at 3000rpm) is important for maintain reliability.

Yes, I was actually going to try to hold off on ALL BOOST until around 3000rpms so I can stay out of boost during most of my daily driving

Different goals here! I hate Turbo lag... So my plan is to have them spool as quick as possible but limit max torque tell 3000.

Oh as a heads up I figured out what the extra charge pipe ports are! They are built in blow off valves. The 2011-2012s have this while the 13-15 moved to a single bov mounted to the intercooler.

dang that's crazy! so wheres the best place to buy the manifolds/turbos? and is there a better year turbo to get or?

 

[zackmd1]

Ebay or your local junkyard if they have them. And after my discovery of the integrated BOVs in the 2011-2012 I am thinking that they might be the better alternative then the 2013-2015 turbos. With integrated BOVs, that is another expense crossed off the list making the install even cheaper. That said, they moved to a single BOV for a reason.... So I have going to have to do more research to see exactly why.

I purchased my turbos and manifolds from LKQ. Im pretty sure I specified to get 2013+ turbos and manifolds, but ended up with 2012.

Any progress updates?

Not yet, I haven't talked to Tom in about 3 days. I was trying to give him some time to start fabricating charge pipes for the intake and intercooler. Im going to text him tomorrow and see how its going. I will keep you guys updated as I receive them. Expecting around another ~2 weeks until the car is ready for tuning.

Latest update is that Tom has ordered certain bends and is waiting on them to be delivered so he can start fitting the pipes around the engine bay..

Charge pipes from a stock ecoboost were used in conjunction with conventional silicone couplers from turbos to the intercooler inlets, this will keep cost down as well as simplicity. SSM is starting tomorrow on the fabrication of the throttle body inlet pipe.

Talked to Tom, my goal of bleeding off boost pressure until 3000rpm is not possible without a programmable boost controller (which I do not have). They seem to be expensive so I will just go with natural boost flow. Tom says that boost will be linear until the turbos peak.

Thanks for the info! I have been planning out my install as you would expect.... I understand now that they are tapping the water feed lines from the back of the intake just like the OEM EB setup. I am getting stuck on the water return lines though.... I just don't see where SSM is feeding them to.

Tom sent me this picture. He went to the strip over the weekend and here is a quote from him: "we took our Procharged 2015 3.7 to Mustang Day at local Silver Dollar drag strip. Had 7 races all with Coyote powered 11-16 GTs and one 2016 GT350. Beat them all, even the GT350. Best run of the day was 11.97 at 118MPH. Stock converter, stock 3.15 gears, no suspension mods. 1.99 60-ft is not good but was the best we had. I thought the car had 11.60s in it but just wasn’t gonna happen. Thought I’d share with you, your car will be there to." This is good news for boosted 3.7 owners! Hopefully on E85 I can run a little more boost safely!

I will see if I can figure anything out about that.
