FORD RACING SUPERCHARGED 4.6L 2V TEST

[@joshmajors5963]

Love these comparisons of low budget builds. Not for the rich peoples but for the budget minded.

[@ifgezroxy]

That's why I watch Richards channel. There is so much information, for all price ranges. And the most valuable, is his knowledge and experience what he shares. He literally wrote the books on this subject, and shares it. Love the guy!

[@Chillvein]

@@ifgezroxy I wouldn't say the the 4.6 is the a very budget friendly motor i mean them kooks headers are like 1,300 bucks. This is coming from someone that owns a 2v 4.6 Twin Turbo Crown Vic. The 4.6 alone yea, the mods no. A lot of people are for sure starting to figure out what the 4.6 can really do tho.

[@RegulerShowTV]

That’s why you should be building stuff with an ls, the power they can create for hardly any money is undeniable, my blue oval pride told me not to give in to the urge to enjoy Chevy too, but now I’m turbo 5.3 swapping my 86 notchback, and couldn’t be happier with the “future proof” of these Chevy engines, they’re easily able to handle much more power than what I initially throw at it, and can be built for relatively cheap!

[@joshmajors5963]

@@RegulerShowTV I never was a huge fan of any of the 72 and newer blue ovals. Up until 2018 moosetangs, the performance from off the floor stock had not been up to par. But yea the Lego adult world says a lsx turbo in any ford is the way to go now. I want an old 49 deluxe with a twin 72mm 4.8 and t56 trans.

[@alpha2gproject783]

I have to say that one of the best sounding engines is a 4.6 4V with just an X pipe. Something about the combination just sounds great.

[@brucethompson6242]

I watched this video with a big smile. The final setup is very similar to my setup. I have the FRPP SVO blower (9 psi), a 90MM Lightning MAF, 70MM throttle body, Comp XE270AH Cams w/Ported PI heads, Longtubes, catted H-pipe, 4.10 gears, Snow Performance water/meth injection. Biggest issue I have is IATs even with water methanol. The car pulls like crazy on a cool day though. Huge difference from stock. I have had the car almost 21 years. It is a 2000 GT. I might have gone with a different cam and gears but those were added to the car long before I got the blower. Thanks for this video. I have not had a complete dyno just yet. Tried but there was a problem with the dyno once we thought we had the tune right. More to follow.

[@Dirtydan200]

Has any of these modifications affected the reliability of it?

[@brucethompson6242]

Not sure if you were directing your question at me. However, I will say that it has taken some serious tuning and elbow grease to get the car to perform up to my standards. The torque is unreal and it pulls even in 5th gear. I did have to replace the coupler on the supercharger recently. That was not a difficult task at all. I have not had a recent dyno and I don't really like to guess but if I had to ... I would say the car is around 430-450hp

[@stephanM5]

Hey Richard, I just want to let you know that your hard work in producing these videos is very much appreciated, the time it takes to assemble and disassemble various engines and conducting comprehensive tests to determine the specific outcomes is a time consuming arduous task and not only that part but then taking the time to video record your efforts and then produce these interesting videos is amazing. On top of that you are doing this for our benefit while we sit at our leisure enjoying your hard work. Anyone giving you a thumbs down on your work should be ashamed as they have no idea of the effort you put into producing fantastic content. Thanks so much! John

Do the long tube headers take up more space than the OEM? . I'm interested in fitting them to my MG ZT 260 4.6 2V . But space might be an issue. Also, was that power output achieved without cats?

For a truck owner who wishes they would have got the 5.4, the long tube header, throttle body and blower would be a good combo. +97 HP and +58lb-ft would probably eliminate feelings of "I could have had a 5.4!". Especially if you had one of the low power 4.6s like around 230HP.

I keep reading that the FRPP/SVO blowers were M112 superchargers, not the M90. There seems to be a few sources that say otherwise but after looking at the rotors and length of the case, its definitely longer than the M90 case/rotor pack.

Perfect set up for a stock bottom end 2v tho even though you’ll run into a lot of heat soak issues with the m90

[@highrzr]

Another great video. I appreciate the 1-piece at a time changes and corresponding dyno tests. What would be nice to see would be the difference between a stock PI motor, and just swapping the heads out for the Trick Flow heads still using the stock everything else. All I see is the Trick Flow heads and a cam swap at the same time. A slightly more aggressive cam than the stock PI cam can on a stock PI motor give around a 30 HP increase on its own.
