Twin Turbo ford GT!

[californiacuda]

With my 2.5 in blower snout we got 18lbs of pressure and 700 whp, with the same boost from tubos(18lbs), the car should make 800 whp when you subtract out the parasitic loss of the supercharger

I know it's crazy, but why not? I posted this info on a lamborghini board and was told its a waste. I'll reserve my judgement until I hear HP and $ #'s.

I doubt it... depending on the turbo(s) size(s) with the "right" turbo(s) it could make more towards 850 maybe 900whp, going from comparisons i've seen.

You doubt what? I made 700 whp with 18lbs of boost with a supercharger. So are you saying that the parasitic loss is closer to 200 hp?. We spent over 25hrs on the dyno. my car was used when Kenne bell developed the new 2.5 snout, and believe me they wanted to make as much hp as possible. We used 100 octane fuel. Go to kenne bell web site, my Gt is the silver one shown on the dyno.

You read my response the wrong way... i meant "I doubt" a 100HP difference between the SC and a turbo system at the same PSI. taking this into account re read my reply, should help. :thumbsup


edit: nevermind allow me to explain.



what i mean to say is a turbo system (well put togeather with a properly sized turbocharger) at the same boost level, which in this case would be 18, and taking into account what i've read so far on turbos i would think that the horsepoewer numbers would be closer to 850 rwhp, maybe as much as 900.

heres a link of turbo cobras.. .the first makes 739rwhp and 700tq @ 15psi
and the second Cobra makes 786rwhp and 689tq @ 16psi keep in mind these are with both LESS boost and a SMALLER motor. Taking them to 18psi AND and put it on a 5.4L.... and thats why i think the power levels would be closer to 850rwhp... maybe 900.

Holy cow !

This beast will be something....hard to drive. Right back to the traction control discussion, I guess :biggrin

Also, those are stock longblock cobras. Heff said it will make more than any blower, so just comparing what Whipple used to have on their website about the 3.3L power levels (max 1000hp)...

Here are some examples out there now-

Bross03Cobra made over 900rwhp on his cobra:

Here is VT's 5.4L doing 1448 hp and 1077 torque on a engine dyno. 22 PSI on a 91mm turbo:

Based on what's already out there I don't think there should be any problem hitting 1000rwhp with a turbo GT, especially if you get the valvetrain setup for a turbo.

Wow, i hope you are right and the car get to the quadrople digit number.

 

[californiacuda]

It's great that much of the engine mod work for the GT has been pioneered on similar Ford engines like the cobras and lightnings. This is such a benefit in terms of cost and r&d when compared to other "exotics"

What do I get for breaking this news? :confused
