How Much Boost???

330CubeGt · March 25th, 2009, 10:25 PM

Just looking for Some Helpfull opinions, Thanks in Advance...

The Motor is a Bone Stock 04 5.4 Expedition Motor.

And I know 8#'s Is Safe But would I be Ok Running 10#'s All the time?

I know of a Guy Running his 4.6 Saleen at 12#s .With no issues thats why i ask.

Any one have something to say Related to my subject?

4.6LMadness · March 26th, 2009, 01:47 AM

nope

your the only one man enough that i have ever met to put a 5.4l motor in your car, but if the compression is similar to the 4.6l which im sure it is id say 10 psi would be safe. Id start with 7-8 and go from there though just to be safe

SWEET2KSTANG · March 26th, 2009, 02:09 AM

you will be perfectly fine. just be sure to tune for it of course.

330CubeGt · March 26th, 2009, 02:17 AM

I always thought 10# on a Stock Mod Motor was to much.

What?

SWEET2KSTANG · March 26th, 2009, 02:22 AM

there is differences with the 5.4 and 4.6's. 10lbs of boost is fine, a little more figiving on teh 5.4 as well compared to the 4.6.

Thats what i was thinking im probably going to Try out the 10# setup Hell i might get lucky and it might make only 9# witch is want i want.But its kinda hard to do that when its controlled by a pulley.

non forged lightnings are pushing 10lbs all day long without any issue at all.

Kool thats good to know now im not as worried as i was.
Any chance of the Motor i have having a fordged crank.OR is it just cast?

Its not the Crank or Pistons im worried about its the Rods...

SWEET2KSTANG · March 26th, 2009, 02:34 AM

i have heard some of the navi motors having forged cranks, but nothing else. and yes, the rods are the item to worry about.

330CubeGt · March 26th, 2009, 02:40 AM

10#s Should put me in the 400rwhp range with additional bolt ons shouldent it?

SWEET2KSTANG · March 26th, 2009, 02:43 AM

yes.

330CubeGt · March 26th, 2009, 03:05 AM

I want 420 RWHP and 115+ Mph Trap.Should make for a fun street car.

There is a Local lighting mustang running 10 PSI Its Been 12.11 @ 116 on street tires with a 5 Speed. So im hopeing with a Shift kitted Auto and Tires i can Go 11s .That will make my happy for a little while i hope

SWEET2KSTANG · March 26th, 2009, 04:12 AM

i dont see why you wouldnt be able to do that, 5.4's produce a lot of torque. i am running 11's with a 116 trap in my POS.

In my Expedition I am running 12.5 pounds of boost along with an aftercooler, shorty headers, tune and other mods (except cams and intake) similar to my vert. It is a 5.4 in a 98 with all stock internals.
