I want one.

This is what they should have put instead of the 2.3L.

Would you guys rather go turbo, TT, or SC? Which one would be more reliable with our engines?

 

[soldier989]

Superchargers are a bit easier on the engine with good gains. That's the way I would go, personally.

The sc is easiest no doubt...but turbos will make a whole loe more tq

I think I'd sacrifice a bit of torque for engine longevity.

A turbo isnt gunna be any harder on a motor than a supercharger...so long as its tuned properly

well that's good to know. I guess since I have always heard that turbos eventually go out especially if you do not do proper maintenance on them.

Yea it's pretty close to being cheaper to swap engines then it is to supercharge the V6..... I personally would swap in the coyote if I was going to do an engine swap.

not even close, procharger is cheaper by a LOT. yes, the price of the crate motor and the price of the procharger are close, but with the crate motor you've also got to factor in new wiring, new ecu, new exhaust routing, etc etc. You're looking at a 10k motor swap, easy.

When looking at a crate motor yes..... But take a stroll through eBay sometime... I can buy an low miles F150 coyote for around $3k. Drop $1k to upgrade the cams and intake to factory GT or even new 350 cams and intake. And then you still have about $3k for the trans and wiring. It can be done. Not with a crate engine but with a takeout.

The same can be said for the ecoboost now that the FR control pack is out.

It really does depend on your build and application. We actually have done both. There like everything else are pros and cons. Both are going to require more attention from the owner. There is more maintenance involved with either.

Both do require spot on tuning, you are 110% spot on there. Either build can smoke a motor in 100RPM. Your tuner is the most important part of your performance equation.

Thats interesting! From what I know, the block and heads of the 3.5 are very similar to the 3.7. I believe the F150 turbo exhaust manifolds will fit our heads with minimal modification. After that, just need lines of the coolant and oil and the turbos are set.

Any idea if there are pre existing oil lines that can be tapped into to feed to the turbo? Or will we have to drill into the block and create one?
