World's First Turbo Godzilla Swapped Mustang Hits The Dyno!!

This week we finally got our 7.3L Godzilla swapped S197 Mustang GT on the dyno and it proved to be no slouch! In this video we will walk you through some of the challenges we faced in getting the car on the dyno as well as share some insight on what we think of the platform so far. We decided against pushing the motor to the limit (15psi-20psi) until our 16V battery and materials to finish our exhaust arrive. Making 650hp and 650tq on 10psi is pretty darn good in our book. The next time you see this car we will have it ready to really make some steam and get some passes in at the track!!

this will be an interesting build here. So far I have seen the pure NA build of the 7.3L with Stage 1 Heads & Cam with 780 horsepower on the engine dyno. They retained the VCT and no interference with the valves and the pistons. and their next upgrade is to put a whipple supercharger to push up to 1000 horsepower. maybe once someone has figure out the best con-rods and piston upgrade kits, we might see bigger horsepower gains in the 1500+hp with boost, high lift cams, while retaining the VCT

[@1320crusier]

VVT is good stuff. Maybe not for your application but I bet it could be used to spool the turbo more quickly.

[@FiveBarMotorsports]

No doubt! The plan for this engine from day one was to eliminate the VCT, install an aftermarket cam, and let it eat until we finish building the other shortblock we have for more boost. I am sure someone will explore the VCT stuff on this platform with theirs soon.

[@ripfletching]

I love watching these videos I’m a little bit confused why you did not trim the rings knowing you were going to push the turbo but I am looking forward to seeing more I believe everyone on your channel wanted to see how much horsepower you could get with the stock form if you had just trim those rings I believe 1000 hp and maybe 1200 foot pounds of torque would be no problem

[@FiveBarMotorsports]

We wanted to see what it could do in completely stock form. In retrospect, we definitely should have gapped the rings prior to getting on the dyno but it is what it is. The motor is going back together next week with the rings gapped and we will see what it does! Thank you for the comment we appreciate the feedback.

Awesome build, but am I the only one who thinks the moniker of "godzilla" is silly considering that the 460" or 7.5L was still being manufacturered in '98? It's not like ford stopped the pushrod v8 big block in 1960.

The owner and founder of our shop purchased this car new back in 2005 and pushed the limits with the 3V platform, ending with 1200hp to the tire with a Precision 88mm out front. He wanted to go with an LS based platform for the next motor but elected to try this new platform. It's been fun so far!
