just wondering what internal modifications do i need to do if i turbo my ef 6 cyl? ie. forged pistons, cams, valves or what psi would i be able to run on stock internals?

cheers

before you cop a barrage of abuse ...

did you even use the search function?????

i did even before i started mine and the hard questions i then asked about..

dont need forgies n that s**t unless ure planning on running big numbers..
stock bottom ends in good cond can handle upto 15psi safely - depending on tune IIRC..

im running 10psi and my motors in mint cond..

you need dollars, and plenty of them. mine ended up at about $8000 -9000 all up ..do s**t yourself and you can save more dollars...

some of the other more experienced turbo boys on here can let you know more..


i forgot to add--- IF YOU BUY CHEAP s**t PARTS THEN THATS WHAT YOU'LL END UP WITH as your sitting on the side of the road with smoke pouring out from everywhere..

25 psi. stock internals.

ha ha

ii was tempted to answer like that, but i got help from here so i thought id be nice...

lol 25psi. i have worked with turbos before but never on fords thats why i asked. sorry i forgot all about search function, ill go have a look.
cheers

CAN BE DONE FOR 3K IF YOU KNOW WHAT UR DOING

I wasnt joking. Thats what Im going to do. :S

stock internals will handle 20psi/400rwkw with good tune.

but stock compression wont allow u to run much more than 15-18psi. after that u will start to go backwards because ignition advance will be to low.
