Most HP from 4 cyl

Brenda · September 10th, 2007, 08:41 AM

I'm desperately wanting a fox vert but the 5.0's seem to be "beat" per say. What the most hp you could get out of a 4 cyl, without "supercharging"?

93fourbangerstanger · September 10th, 2007, 08:48 AM

well im not the most tech when it comes to this forum but im guessin if you had alot of money you could get around 300 to 400hp.but if your lookin for small mod to help the car putt around town your could throw in some stuff to make it run better

why? because 2.3l were made for gas milege and they are demodded

MSO · September 10th, 2007, 11:00 AM

well.. you're not going to be able to get more than 170 and still be street legal

a turbo wud be the way to go.. fortunately for 2.3 owners, putting a turbo on a 2.3 is a lot easier than you think

interested? stick around.

I was curious. I really want a vert and the majority of them in my area are 4 cyl. I had an 88 4 cyl and was looking for a tad more giddeyup and go. Still contemplating...I love the verties though!

swapping in a turbo4 is easy as far as engine swaps go

you dont need to change the engine mounts, the suspension, or the transmission bellhousing or anything

its the same engine just comes with different plumbing and a different computer

and they come with 200hp.. and i believe 220lb ft. of torque

Brenda · September 10th, 2007, 12:36 PM

dang, thats not bad 200 hp

Jon Huber's car is street legal, and he's running 8's.

you serious?

that's beastly lol

but he's turbo'd tho

to make more than 200n/a you'd need an aggressive ass cam and ur head to be ported to hell and back.. not to mention your compression wud need to be around 12:1 or higher

Brenda · September 10th, 2007, 12:43 PM

Nah, don't need more than 200 hp. Hell my '05 V6 is just a lil more than that...well so Ford says "stock". Sure my CAI and tune add to it.

yeah man, but there is NO TELLING how much money he has in his car.. could probably buy a terminator with the money he has in his 2.3

well that's to the wheels, ur hp is at the fly

and plus the 2.3 is the lightest engine in a mustang

so you have an advantage on that

if you got 150-160 to the wheels in ur 2.3 you shud be able to pull most V6ers stock

Brenda · September 10th, 2007, 12:54 PM

Cool! Thanks guys!

TurboLX · September 11th, 2007, 09:56 AM

its gonna take some serious work to get 200hp with an N/A

easiest way you can do it is add some giggle juice
or swap a 2.3T like me

Brenda · September 11th, 2007, 10:14 AM

Might be a change of plans...going to look at a 5.0 tonight...wish I could make up my mind.

TurboLX · September 11th, 2007, 10:41 AM

Brenda · September 11th, 2007, 10:54 AM

Well hubby won't allow me to have 3 ponies in the drive soooooo it's gonna be some kind of FOX BODY sitting next to my S197...lol!

TurboLX · September 11th, 2007, 11:08 AM
