This may be a stupid question but I was wondering if there was a way to run a low boost turbo (6-8 LBS) on a 4.6?? A bunch of honduh guys I work with say it can be done...I was thinking about using a turbo out of an old supercoupe and doing a custom system

yes, there are a few turbocharged panthers running around.
Super coupe= SUPERCHARGED
TURBO COUPE= Turbo. And that is WAY too friggin small for a V8... you would need 2.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

That could be fun. In theory I think it should be possible to turbocharge most any engine as long as the innards are up to it (i.e. I wouldn't want to run much boost without forged pistons). I'd think as long as the turbo size is well thought-out (big enough to make the power you want but small enough that lag is acceptable) and you run an intercooler and an appropriate custom fuel map to optimize power and avoid exciting smoke shows in the wrong place, the results could be a huge amount of fun.

turbomustangs.com. DO NOT POST. Search and read. Also, just look around mustang boards. Turbocharged mustangs are common. And they use a very similar motor.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

I am on a few Mustang boards. They ARE antisocial. Not all of course, but most. It's hard to find a person who is polite about answering rookie questions on Mustang boards anymore....Originally posted by mrltd View Post
Concerning the turbo on the 4.6? Is the engine stock? Don't bother, the motor won't handle it. The earlier 4.6 2V engines are weak, bad head gaskets to start with....the pistons are usually the next culprit.
Just use the 5.4 triton swap on this page:
