DIY EBAY TURBO 5.0L-BUILDING BOOST! 

Yes! Finally more Ford videos, thank you

One of the most informative motor channels I’ve ever come across on YT. There’s plenty out there, but these guys really do the experimenting for you so you don’t have to do it yourself. The amount of money I’ve saved through just watching these guys experiment with different diff ratios and different turbos and superchargers

Knowledge for the ages! You have saved us so much time and money testing setups!!

Perfect!! Just the 5.0 ford stuff I was looking for prior to jumping into our 302 turbo build Thanks!!!

It's nice that these pop up during my lunch break! lol

You consistently make great videos. I've learned a ton from you. Thanks for what you do. Keep doing what you do.

Love to see you test a remote turbo test. Then see how much exhaust length and intercooler pipe effects boost and lag ect. Love the videos! Iv been learning a ton!

Thing ran pretty good NA - 350-375 lb/ft from 3300-5700. That's not a torque curve; that's a torque tabletop

I know this is an older video, but thanks for doing it. Love the other guys vids, they are AWESOME!!! Don't run yourself into the ground dude. Get some rest. I think most of us won't mind too much if the pace of vids falls off a little. The content is great! Thanks again.

Do a big bang on a 302. I wanna know of the blocks rly do split down the middle

Please try a BigBang on a 351w. Keep them coming 👍🏻

Your videos are top notch man! Love it!

Keep the Ford Videos coming Richard!!!!!!!! Love to see some 351w Videos .... Ford big Bangs .... Maybe even some after market block test. Thanks for all the great content you have been putting out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You sir are a savage ☠️ Bravo on this DIY build! Thanks for sharing👍 Subscribed!

Looks like a backyard build. I love backyard builds.

This is excellent. Thank you, Richard! 👍

I really feel like the average hot rod guys and girls could do a lot of damage with a 550 hp small block! Good job Richard as always.

The man of the year Richard Holdener thank you for the turbo content we are waiting on cam test just like you ls guys get on a built stock botton motor..... put a boss block in the my 94 but It has same top end as this except it has an fcam

I was watching the video and thinking that LS looks funny

Oh snap you are the man richard thanks for all the great content

Heck yeah! in depth stuff!

Im glad you used the same manifolds that most of use would be using, cheap long tube, incompatible with your build, beat to shit manifolds! Thanks! Loving the content just subbed.

"Weight for it" I died right there 😂😂😂

Sub'd! This is the third vid I've watched, very informative. This helps my debate between a 5.0 or 4.8ls

The guy welding with sunglasses 😂 perfect.

I did something very similar on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0. It has a 3 to 1, 3 to 1 stainless steel header, custom y pipe/up pipe, heavily modified 96-98 intake, Edelbrock head, small Comp Cam that is bigger than stock and a single turbo. It's running 9psi of boost. The power from 2k to 5k is amazing. Haven't had it on a dyno to know exactly what the power is. It easily out accelerates my 15 Silverado that has smaller tires and better gear splits in the transmission.

I run this set-up on my 75 f250 everyday of the week. Makes 14psi around 5000rpms with the Mac valve @40% duty. It's fun to drive.

Awesome to see some 5.0 turbo love. I have the same turbo on mine and also using a Holley computer I'm already at 6.3psi and wanting 10-12 keeping the rpm down and the timing low let see how far this 302 can go

We split a 302 block on the dyno right at 800hp. It split right down the middle. It was at 15lbs of boost. Then we made some braces in the lifter valley and a better girdle and it lived after that boost level and it went in a customer’s fox body and ran 9.0’s and 8.90’s for about 2 years before he changed the set up.

About to Turbo my foxbody I saw this video and can’t wait to boost it

Great video - thanks

Thank you Richard

Man love this channel!!!!

Boost makes everything better!

way back in the 80's my friend split his block right down the lifter valley, he was running quite a bit of NOS.

This video was helpful 💯

I love it!!! I'm doing something similar for my vw

Great video.....gets the wheels turning.

Man you need your own online shop. You make all these awesome videos imagine how many people would buy from you. Cheap eBay turbos, good turbos, turbo kits that fit certain cars with certain engines, cams, intakes. If you can get them directly from the manufacturer then come with competitive pricing you'd make good money. People trust you. Need a partner?! Lol

Sunday night fun. Cheers 🍻

Early morning uploads.

AS usual, entertaining. Sb Ford with turbo. I bet it responded well to the throttle.

I know why it's in the playlist, but it's still funny that the first video in the SBF NA power playlist is "DIY EBAY TURBO 5.0L-BUILDING BOOST!"

Nice work

Thanks for the great videos. Request a test of all the Ford racing cams for the SBF in the future.

Love the open ports while welding 😂😂

You’re enabling my engine porn addiction Richard

Great Channel!

She was really happy at 7.8 psi lol thinking about doing a twin turbo kit on my foxbody just for my daily driver lol

I subscribed just because of this video!

Love Julion Alvarez singing on the background 😂

More 5.0 ford stuff please!

I look forward to your test with water injection before the turbo. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Man, I have so much to learn before even touching my motor

Could you try doing a comparison between blow through carb vs tbi (such as fitech or sniper) and a multiport system on a turbo or centrifugal supercharger?

I really want to see an intake manifold test for the 5.0 ford motor. I want to see the new Holley hi ram as well as the truck flow edelbrock ones, there is no tests like that I can find anywhere and want to make a more informed choice to buy one.

I bet you were the guys that built Frankenstein.....Wow! Just Wow!

I would like to see a Big Bang on the mopar 318!!!

“All you have to do is ‘make it fit!’”

youre an odd dude, but the wait for it wait for it "weight for it" cracked me up.

302 Chevy VS 302 Ford!! I know any motor of a given displacement will make about the same power but I would love to see a junk yard 302 Chevy build. Vortec 5.7L 4.00” bore block, pistons, & heads with the L99 3.00” stroke crank and 5.94” rods!! LT4 hot cam kit or better! -does the 4.9L 302 SBC kill the 5.0L 305 SBC? -does the 4.9L 302 SBC loose out to the 5.0L HO Ford?? -carb VS TPI + boost

Split the block!

This video perfectly illustrates why many of us old Ford guys are LS guys now.

I bet it would make a little more power in each form (N/A, NOS, and PSI) with a better flowing exhaust system. Those factory shorty's look like they are punished! LOL, but overall, I liked the test because you used common salvage yard stuff.

Is that your neighbors awesome 80s CHEVY ? Give that a turbo 6.0!

Finally a ford 5.0 do-it-yourself garage turbo build. Just my recommendation but could you touch more on the tuning and specification side. What kind of eBay Turbo? What timing and air/fuel ratio do you recommend? Subscribed!

Lil late here hehe, I'm from outside of USA and in my country there is no easy way of fabricating this as the culture here isn't as diy and really there aren't much Sport cars or at least sub 2000 there are quite exotic, for some reason mustangs are quite the easy find but almost all are 2.3l o que 3.8 not 5.0 so aftermarket and classic car people here see them as a 🦄 and prices are super high but anyway back to the point You could actually sell a kit with all of the components for building this kit and people in the us or outside the us as me that just want the complete pack bought and shipped directly to your house through Amazon or eBay, and most importantly in this cases, to get things that works and have been done by a guy that has all well documented and is experimented so can give grate instructions and visual guide as this video. Could be some packages like light NA Bolton's, full NA Bolton's, Full NA and turbo, and for the guys out there that look for the nitrous or methanol injection a stand alone pack, ash the fox body and 93-95 sn95 engine bay is the same it can be cross gen and would get a lot of support in the international community as you seem of what you're talking about (let's not forget tuning you could give a file with the turbo kit or as a separate) So people can build as they have the money or enjoy the process, have a trusted source and you make some bucks in the process (please don't try to get rich with the kit the exchange rate for dollars in my country is very high and a fully prepared car costs an eye, don make it an eye, a kidney, the other eye and the other kidney 🥺) Love your content sorry for my English, hope to hear what you think 👍🏽

Can we please get the details on exactly which trim GT-45 turbo you used or recommend for this type of package? Which heads were used in this test. Great videos......I even enjoy all the LS videos and I'm TRUE BLUE. Always love your content.

Cover intake ports when welding next to them... ; )

Some other suggestions, DART 302 block with similar parts and cam dyno against Chevy 5.3

This engine is more appropriate in the 5.0 vs 5.0 vids.

This dude is literally a saint. I don’t think everyone understands how valuable his non mythical advice is to the car community. So much bullshit, and idiot youtubers giving out misinformation, and creating stigmas about platforms that really have a lot of potential. You can make anything fast if you build it and run it correctly for its design strengths and weaknesses. Shit, you can throw ring gap in a Prius, and throw a K03 on it and probably make it toot and scoot. Often it’s human error, but we live in a society where it’s somehow better to open your mouth at all, even if nothing but shit comes out. I often notice guys talk about shit they have absolutely no idea about. Remember kids, it’s cooler to admit you don’t know shit about something, rather than dig a grave down to dumbassville and embarrass yourself trying to sound cool or smart. The car community is riddled with this mindset.

Ok, so we talked about splitting blocks in your last Ford video. Now I'm curious, we know torque is the enemy, especially at lower RPMs, can you make *more* power NA by winding the motor high? Can you, or have you, made 600HP NA with a 302? That's 120HP/l, which I would have thought is unobtanium with a pushrod motor until recently, but I think with the right combo you could do that.

It would be great to see you do afew dodge engines ... 318,360 .. 5.7,6.1,6.4 ... I'd love that for comparison

Rich, can you do a video where you purposely split the block? Just like when you ran that SBC with no oil.

More 383 sbc please sensei!

Can you please test a set of John kaase performance p-38 cylinder heads on a ford 302 and a stroked 347 !! Thank you

Cool video, as always! What are the specs on the GT45 from e-bay?

Hey richard, you ever play with the nissan vg30 or vq35 engines? Plenty of junkyard potential there

That k5 tho!!

Do this with a 383 sbc or something like that. Ivd been wanting to do it to my car

I really want to do this to the 5.4 triton in my 2002 f150. Will the stock Ecu with a superchips tuner support 5psi of boost? Not looking to make huge power just a lil bump for towing. Thank you for the great videos.

Richard, Great video as always. Quick Question. You refer to the XE274HR Cam and say it's one of your favorites for the SBF. I'm looking to rebuild my tired old 254K mile 302 in my 90 Fox Convertible. I like the stock cam drivability when compared to my other cars running various Ford alphabet cams. Even the mild E303 tends to be unhappy at anything below 1500rpm and causes the car to buck at low speeds. We have tracked every vacume line and seal on the motor to ensure all is correct and we just can't get rid of the bucking. Would the XE274HR have the same bucking issues as the E303? If so, what cam have you seen out there that would give near stock drivability and idle while making a little more power?

Just think what the 60's could have been like. If turbos were so commonly available! A factory BB Chevelle, with twin turbos, 700 hp derated , the population should probably be much lower !

I used a 6.0 powerstroke turbo and a explore 5.0

Can you do some testing on a Magnum 318 ?

Canton main girdle, eagle steel rods , crank , and forged diamond pistons . Then your good to go .

What wastegate would you recommend? Do we have to go for the expensive turbo smart stuff or do other brands work just as well?

Just curious what size wastegate you run on the single ebay turbo build? Wonder if I should get the biggest wastegate for low boost

Hello, nice video, I've just found your videos, will be watching more. shame these older motor were so reduced on power. I valve a 5.0 in a '96 f150. Would your basic upgrade pretty much work on a truck motor, or what would you change? Thanks. Any ideas on how long an ebay turbo would hold up?

Welding there with no intake manifold on? No worry of metal bits destroying the engine?

Would like to see SBF 363 and SBF 408 Stroker, hp and weight comparison. Very informative, on LS platform, I know SBF can throw some big punches

Weight for it ......your bad dad joke game is on point😂

Early birds get the worms

You should make a video on the 351w. Na vs boosted

Seriously thinking about boosting my OBS Bronco/5.0 w/Explorer intake?

..... just as easy to fit in your chassis lol

Why dont you run higher levels of N20? Worried about any part in particular?

With that cam.. would have been a nasty street motor

Try that with downs ford upper intake manifold! Made just under 900 hp with intake change out 720 hp well know upper and lower
