Stupid Question

barksdaleammo · March 30th, 2007, 11:25 AM

OK I tried searching the threads but never found the answer i was looking for. What is a PI motor and non-PI motor?

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 11:30 AM

at least you tried searching...

they are the same motor except for the heads, intake, and cams.

a 96-98 didn't have a pi motor
the 99-04 ones did.

the swap is pretty easy to do and it's worth about 40 HP

barksdaleammo · March 30th, 2007, 11:34 AM

which one give you more power than the other and why?

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 11:36 AM

the PI... it has a larger intake, the heads flow better, and the cams are a tad more aggressive.

a stock pi motor makes 260 crank hp

the non pi makes around 225 i think.

ohhh ok cool thanks.

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 12:07 PM

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 01:49 PM

barksdaleammo · March 30th, 2007, 01:50 PM

Im sorry GT

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 01:58 PM

haha... what kind of parts?

engine/ drive train / looks?

most v8 mustangs have a lot of parts that are interchangable man.

barksdaleammo · March 30th, 2007, 02:14 PM

i want something that is going to give me more performance. but im saving up for nitrous and gears.

HMUSN · March 30th, 2007, 02:22 PM

there is not much your going to be able to take off a stock car...

well you could always do the cobra front and rear breaks

02steedagt · March 30th, 2007, 03:27 PM

i would do the pi swap before you get the nitrous. i would just feel better knowing that i've got some good new heads to handle that n2o. but the gears are a must-have.

barksdaleammo · March 30th, 2007, 04:32 PM

ive got a 2002 so i guess ive got the pi motor

DragonFreak · March 30th, 2007, 04:36 PM

yes you have a pi motor

ckthecerealkiller · March 30th, 2007, 04:39 PM

PI is Ported Intake. The most beneficial piece of equipment that came with the PI setup is the intake system, they alone are worth about 25hp. I am not sure if it came with a different cam or not though. I think that it just was an upgraded cam for that year. Not actually part of the PI upgrade.

handyandy · March 30th, 2007, 06:46 PM

PI does not stand for Ported Intake.

It refers to the whole top end of the motor that Ford upgraded for 99-04 models. And yes it is heads cams and intake, not just intake. Like stated before, its better flowing heads, better cams and also a better intake. Its "Performance Improved" parts. Many parts, but not just intake.
