I currently have a remote mount turbocharged v6 f150.

a Stock 4.2l V6 makes about 155rwhp.

my stock block v6 with a 50trim turbonetics turbo makes 275rwhp and 338rwtq.

the little 6'er is pretty quick with all that tq.

I've got a new setup waiting to go in.
new setup is all underhood, egr will need to be deleted. and a/c lines will need to be modified so they do not sit on the downpipe.

The new turbo is a master powers t70, i realize this is a little big for a stock block v6 so my tq numbers may actually go down a little bit but i think it will bring up my hp numbers a little.

here are some photos of what it looks like

the orange truck is the truck it came from which of course is also a v6 however its got a built block and makes about 450rwhp and 500rwtq or so.







this thread will be updated this evening once i begin the installation and have something to show. it will also be where i ask question if i have any. being that i turbocharged my truck the first time I shouldn't have any questions other than egr delete.

I understand many of you v8 guys would say "why the hell turbo a v6? thats just stupid"

well, ill tell you why. When i was 18 (im 24 now) my grandfather bought the truck for me brand new in 2003. it was $22k i paid about 6k of that. I never had any intentions of making it a go fast vehicle. i enjoy the truck even with its v6 and since its paid off decided to see what it can do rather than sell it and have a new truck payment.

there will always be someone faster and that is not the point. point is its my truck ill do whatever i want to with it

my daily driver now is a 2001 4.6l Mustang GT Bullitt edition.

 

can't wait to see the pics of the "new" setup

 

x2 looks to be a fun project

 

The pipe work look's really good! Custom made or???

Keep us updated please.

 

Good stuff!


Maybe a stupid question, but what does "remote" mount mean? I've always been an NA guy so I don't know to much about turbo setups.

 

I think it mean A turbo Mounted off the Manifold.

You would need twin turbo's to mount them straight on the Manifold or Header's as you guys call them

 

That looks like a cool set up, Hope you get more power from the new one!!

 

orangethunders setup was AMAZING...

Now TJ has it... oh boy. Cant wait to see it in the truck. So do you have any intentions on building the motor eventually?

ill stay tuned

 

a remote mount setup just means the headers werent flipped.

most common remote mount setups are the STS kits.

the turbo goes in place about where the muffler would be and that kit requires an oil pump to return the oil to the oil pan.

my old setup basically has a crossover pipe that runs back under the crossmember and back up into the engine bay as a Y pipe up to the single turbo.

so even though it was underhood.. it was still a remote setup. LOTS of piping.

so far ive got the passenger side turbo header in. its facing the radiator.

I HATE copper rtv but the guy that sold me the kit used it so im using it too. the excess copper rtv u see is on the gasket and not on the head.

 

Nice setup, I am actually thinking about doing the same thing to my truck, i have a 4.2L also. How much boost did you run on the 50 trim, to make those numbers?
