I have an 02 GT with P1sc procharger with intercooler. 6lb injectors 75mm throttle body Todd Warren custom cams. Forged bottom end. Built heads . Long tube headers. Cai wide band gadge sct x 4 tune no Dyno tune and zero issues on 10lbs boost.
I would go with the turbo, superchargers eventually eat up your main bearings and dont have the broad power band a turbo has. But no matter what, definitely get it tuned. So very important. Just saying.
I’m still torn on what to do. Turbo will be cheaper but way more work while the supercharger is more expensive but easier bolt on type install. Yes I plan on getting the car tuned soon after I install camshafts and gears
@RatchetWrenches if you already have headers I would go blower. The sound gets changed alot with a turbo too. Not a bad sound just not the traditional mustang sound they're known for. Both have their strengths. On a stock motor either can take it past safe limits pretty easy.
Sounds awesome. Do you know what the 2.1 KB’s are good til power wise? Eventually I wanna build the bottom end up and throw a bunch of boost at the car so I’m leaning towards a turbo for that
My advice is to visit a junkyard. Poke around and find a non PI 2v. You can pick one up for a few hundred dollars. That way you can build up an engine while still being able to drive your car. A non PI short block with PI heads, cams, long tube headers, and a tune will do 400hp at the crank. You can build that combo for $1500 or less.The stock block will definitely handle 600+hp. When it comes to boost or nitrous the thing that kills most short blocks is ring gap. The rings will close and that's what destroys the pistons. After that the next weak link is the rods.
That’s a good idea just a lot of work and could be expensive. Being from NJ things aren’t as cheap as in the south per say. But you have some good points for sure thank you
Richard Contini Jr please call me. This is EXACTLY the number i want to reach while doing it N/A. im already at 140K miles and i think this is the most reliable and educational option imo. I live in Virginia but my number is xxxxxxxx. I'd love to pick you brain on the details of this route.
@@obran003 please edit your post and remove your phone number. As much as I'd like to take credit I can't. I stole the idea from a book a long time ago. The guy who wrote the book has a RU-vid channel his name is Richard Holdener. I've probably read every book and magazine article he's written in the last 25 years.
I would just go with cams and heads for now. In the meantime go get a junkyard 4.6 and build it up overtime w/some forged internals. Then get the supercharger and you won’t have to worry about throwing a rod w/over 500 HP. Everyone I know that slapped a SC on their 2v eventually wanted more than 400 rwhp lol.
I definitely want cams they sound really good! That’s not a bad idea actually! Yeah I’m sure I’ll want more then 400 HP eventually it’s an addiction haha. But my goal in a few years is to buy a GT350 so stock that has so much more potential then the 2v’s
Ratchet Wrenches oh dude I would save up for the GT350 then. The 2v has potential, just takes a lot of $$$ but if it’s your forever car it’ll be worth it.
You can get the torque tech kit for like 2700 it makes it so you can run an Eaton m112 off a terminator cobra which you can get for 600 off eBay if you want a bigger blower later down the road you can
This the best option imo. Stock terminator blower is plenty for a stock motor 2v and if you go built motor you can upgrade to the upgraded blowers available for terminators which are ALOT better than what is available for a 2v. Vmp 2.3 and 2.65 tvs are both beastly.
kenne bell twin screw for easy install and the most boost out of any supercharger kit for the 2v + no boost lag like a turbo, also the 2.1 kit comes with a tune(but not with long tube headers), fuel system upgrades
treperformance will help finance any supercharger if you cant afford it now, i just read a commment of yours saying you may not be comfortable spending much for a blower. the cheap end for boost would be the on3performance kit which looks promising. Ive had my 00 GT for 6 years and ive always leaned towards a KB supercharger
Yeah I totally agree with you on that, Kenne Bell supercharger are high quality kits and they have a great reputation I’ll give them that. I’ll have to look into the financing, I haven’t considered that yet. Thanks for the input!
Definitely bring it down here to Delaware to Matt at Performance Evolution for your tune!! If you have any questions about boosting the car he is the man to ask!!
do you know how much it would be to ship my car or ecu to them for a e85 or 93 octane tune and cam install? i have no one around me for that type of stuff on my 2v 2001 gt
Kenne Bell 2.1L. For instant throttle response, direct displacement blower is the way to go, thats why demon and gt500s have superchargers. They sound better (opinion), but get ready to do suspension work, cause you'll be blowing the tires away. If you have traction issues, turbos are better, they do make higher hp and power develops with rpm, no parasitic loss, but more heat and changes the way your car sounds. Then again, are you racing? from a dig? roll? prepped surface? lots of variables. do you like supercharger whine? or turbo sound?
Thanks for the good information. My future plans for the car is what I have to take into consideration first (leaning towards a fast street build) but once I establish that I can go from there.
@JB Lovell you're def right i just recently installed the on3 turbo setup ($2400) and with all the extra modifications I have done, I'm pushing into $5000+ and I haven't gotten it tuned yet... plus it's a stock block!
@@user-pf6wl4hv5j it's worth it... a couple of hiccups but a year in now and I'm satisfied. I got it tuned by Kurgan Motorsports, im pushing 426 hp/ 512 ft lbs tq... I am in the process of building a forged motor to support 600+ hp.
So I know I’m late to the game...always a difficult decision. I’m between the two myself. Had a previous 04 GT with a vortech aftercooled kit and a V2SQ blower. On 12psi it put down 477/461. Stock internals with induction and fuel upgrades. Had the car for a year like that and saw it 2 years later and it was still solid. It’s really all in the tune and how you drive it. Pros for the vortech are you can keep all your current exhaust mods and you don’t have to get the k member. Down sides are you have to worry about heat soak since there’s not an intercooler and if the drive belt breaks or comes off, no power. I think it’s CX racing has a intercooler kit I’ve seen many use for the vortechs. Turbo just makes great power but much more involved for the install. I have heard of some not getting their fog lights back in after also. You just really need to keep an eye on boost levels and A/F ratio since they have a tendency for “boost creep”. Hard to argue with the On3 price and numbers it produces!
You’re 100% right! Yeah I’m still so torn between the 2 different options but after thinking about it I’m leaning towards the vortech kit. It’s really the best bang for your buck. I didn’t know CX racing made the intercooler kit I’ll have to check that out thanks for the feedback!
Ratchet Wrenches yeah man...hard choice. Either way, you can’t go wrong with forced induction....power on demand whenever and wherever you want it. Check out Richard Holdener’s dyno videos on the 2 valves, he’s got some great content on power proven combos and one is a vortech kit with the CX racing intercooler. Made more power and flows better than the vortech aftercooler.
Four valve swap it! Find a cheap one in a junkyard, find a terminator shortblock, they’re super stout, and add it to a set of trickflow two valve heads! Then add boost!!! In the end, probably not a huge price difference between it and building your two valve! Or, yeah, some good trickflow two-valve heads, cams and built bottom-end. Then add whatever boost you prefer! 🚀
I wouldn't run forced induction with no intercooler. Shit gets hot quick. That being said I like to be able to drive anywhere safely, without worrying about temps. If it's just a drag car screw it. But my focus st that has a stock intercooler obviously, intake temps would easily be 160° on a hot day. Steeda intercooler now the intake temps don't go above ambient unless sitting still
I have run both.. honestly.. if you want to go fast.. turbo.. if you want to slap it on and have a damn good time every time.. intercooler centri blower venting to atmosphere. Had I stayed procharger my car would have been driven 80x more than it has over the last few years.. Also.. cans are totally a good mod for both forms of boost
Thanks for the advice! Yeah super chargers seem more reliable for sure but turbos can get rowdy and fun. I’m still torn between what set up to go but I most likely won’t install anything this year since I garage it for the winter. Camshafts are being installed soon
@@RatchetWrenches is this car your daily driver? If so I would get a procharger or vortech unit with an air to air intercooler. It would be easy to install and far more enjoyable. The turbo systems come with a list of headaches to deal with to make it perfect.
If I was you I would throw a single on3 kit on the car if your aiming for around 500whp (the kit will make alot more) with a stock bottom end it can be done right for 3000-3500 bucks especially if you can do most of the work yourself and if you check around you can a used k member for cheap same for injectors and pumps . If you decide to go turbo I can almost guarantee the stock bottom end 4.6 will last longer than a centrifugal blower or roots/screw at the same amount of boost just make sure you have a good tuner. I also have experience with the teamz k member in my 97 Gt turbo ls setup
I would ideally want to push between 400-500HP which I heard is possible I just don’t wanna damage / blow up my engine which I heard if you push over 400HP you will on the stock block. So I’m not really sure but your plan does sound good I was looking into new parts for everything but if I go used, I can definitely cut back my final costs
@@bodyshotjake7475 I have no experience with upr's stuff but a on3 manifolds and team z's k member work I would even go out on a limb and say a 4 valve and on3s kit would work with team z k member but I dont know how different those manifolds are I have zero experience with 4 valve 4.6s,5.4's, trinity's or coyotes the most ive done to a terminator was a smaller pulley a new belt tensioner, injectors and some long tubes cat less x pipe dual 450's pumps for the e85 swap. Ive got a little 2 valve experience and made some decent power with my buddy 2v new edge with one of on3s kit I will say this you better have some basic fab knowledge of know a guy with on3 stuff. I bought my 97 with the kit already installed i bought it for my wife to start racin i got a damn good deal on the car and it already had alot of good stuff already on the car I found a used converter and a manual valve body for that junk trans and went a 6.98 at 104mph before i killed that non pi headed two valve the the car got what it was gonna get from the beginning a sbe cam and spring 5.3 and a nx plate, power glide and 4.30 gears now its damn near a 6.50 bracket car lol in the 1/8 its never been faster than a 6.507 and its had this shit beat out of it for almost 2 years and its still kickin pretty good but boost is coming soon
I’ve done a good amount of research and I have heard you can do it for that cheap but... that’s for a very cheap used set up. I want this car to be reliable so if I wanted to do the coyote swap the right way I’m looking more like 10k which is way too much at the moment
@@RatchetWrenches you cannot coyote swap a car for 5k unless you buy a word out coyote for cheap as hell and do everything yourself and even then, I doubt it still lol, I’ve been into and around Mustangs my whole life so I know a good bit about them, keep the boost around 8psi and you’ll be fine, google supercharge my mustang for 1500 and you’ll find this guy really break down how to get it done cheap, you will buy a good used Vortec head unit and then all the other components new from superchargersonline, and it’ll be right and affordable
That would be sick. I haven’t looked into how much they cost. I just moved so I have to be smart on what I buy and spend. But yeah too mounts are so fucking cool. That whine is just incredible
Ratchet Wrenches a Torktech kit would run you around the $3k mark plus a used 03/04 blower. I’ve looked into doing this on my 04 but I think I’m just going to settle for a Kennebell kit when I decide to boost my car
Turbo is more efficient. But with today's forced induction prices, a coyote swap is not much more . And same power increases . Plus a better base for more performance going forward.
Yes the turbo is more efficient and has more potential then a supercharger. I’ve heard the stock 4.6L blocks can handle quite a bit, especially with forged internals like Andrew Lavender’s build on RU-vid is a great example. For a good turbo build yea the coyote isn’t too far off in price point but it’s so overdone and it’s a lot more work if you don’t have access to a lift / the right equipment. For now we are sticking with the 4.6L block and I’m probably going turbo set up this year so we’ll see how it handles it.
A coyote swap is generally a good but more. Driver experience has to be thought about too. A blown cammed 2v is going to make nasty sounds and sound way cooler than an na coyote. It will have a totally different feel. You can build the 2v bottom end and make pretty good power. Coyote swaps are alot of money all in especially if you go with a gen 2 or 3. You can do the coyote rods in a 2v on the cheap and make 600+ reliably.
@03StangGT are you talking whp or at the crank? Im interested in keeping mine N/A if i can get to around 320 whp. With 3.73 gears thats plenty of power but still reliable as my daily. Maybe this is something i should look into...
I would go with the on 3 turbo kit which is cheaper and generally can make more power across the rpm range and can be more fun to drive. Im in the middle of revamping a 99 gt with an on 3 kit it recently got rebuilt with forged internals. Im looking to make upwards of 14 pounds of boost which should put me around 450 wheel horsepower on 93. I plan on maybe upgrading the turbo but for now I’ll stick with the on 3 turbo.
I’ve heard many mixed reviews about the On3 kit. From what I gather the turbo is ok but should be upgraded, the clamps are kind of cheap and should be upgraded, and there is definitely a good amount of custom fab work needed (which isn’t uncommon for turbo builds) / everything is extremely close together. Really have to do your homework before you dive in but can definitely be a fun build and car at the end. I agree with donald ^ you should be pushing more then 450 with that much boost but obviously there are a lot of factors. Running 450 would still be a hell of a fun car!
@@RatchetWrenches yeah he’s probably right that it should be making more then 450 wheel. Im just gonna keep turning the boost up until it makes enough power where i am happy and its also some what safe on the engine. Your right about the on 3 kit it gets a bad rep because the parts are cheaper quality and made in china crap. If you change the turbo/wastegate/blow off valve to an actual good brand it will make a big difference.
@donaldjohnson4570 this very much depends on supporting mods. Ported heads and cams and a built bottom end with more compression all could swing power quite a bit one way or the other.
Team z is definitely better quality. I recommend maximum motor sports tho for street driven cars. Like you said you get what you pay for so might as well do it right the first time. Maximum motor sports also has the offset a arms that moves the front wheels forward for better handling and weight distribution
When I bought my vortech supercharger it came with everything you need including fuel pump and injectors and they paid for you to FedEx the computer to them and they put in their program and sent it back but if change anything you need to buy a programmer
I went with a v7 jt blower, Id1050x injectors and brushless A1000 fuel pump. With the Holley terminator x fuel management system. Honestly rods are tour weakest point.
Sounds like a unit! Definitely pushing some serious power with that set up. And yeah you’re right about that, gotta go to the source and make sure you got strong enough internals to push serious numbers

I have a 2003 with the on 3 70mm dyno tuned at 7 pounds boost to 420 hp. And I have the cobra bumper. I recommend if you do either to get wider rear rims and tires because you won't keep it in a straight line on stock size. Good luck

You really missed out going those injectors. If your getting your car dyno tuned already, you should of gone with at least 39 lb injectors. It seems like that 380 whp is going to be your absolute max due the injector size, but then again, thats just my opinion.

Trying to decide which way ima go with my2v. Just got it a couple weeks ago 100% bone stock. I’ve since lowered it muffler delete, bbk 78mm throttle body/plenum with a 1/2” plenum spacer, cold air intake, sct x4, and got everything for a j-mod and a 2800rpm stall getting ready to put that in the next couple of days. Then 4.10’s. The car currently has a nitrous express wet kit on it I installed last week and it actually runs pretty good now on a 125 shot. But I’m tired of paying $8 a lb for nitrous considering my 3v is also nitrous it’s getting pretty expensive. I’ve only got two bottles so it’s $160 every time I fill up and sometimes that’s 2-3 times a month. Plus I’d just rather have boost I’ve never owned a supercharged or turbo car. Every mustang I’ve ever had has been nitrous just because the initial install is a lot cheaper. The car runs really good and I couldn’t be happier especially since I have very little money invested. Besides the shift kit, stall and 4.10’s I bought everything used. I’m leaning towards a centrifugal supercharger mostly because of cost and more straight forward install or at least seems like it is vs a turbo. But I really want a roots style. I like the instant boost they give and the whine they make. Found a few used kits on eBay for around $2k but idk if I want to spend $2k on a used kit when I can get a brand new centrifugal kit for about $1000 more

Go vortech but save a little money and get the inner cooler. I have a 2000 mustang gt and I have the vortech. I tried to just run the turbo without the inner cooler. It ran too hot. I saved and got the cooler.
So I'm super confused a lot of people tell me that the 03-04 Mustang GT and the 03-04 Cobra have the same block. But they then say the Cobra block can handle upwards to 1000hp but the GT block (which is the same block) can only do a little over 450-500hp. Won't just changing the internals help with handling more horsepower? I know the Cobra is different from the GT when it comes to heads and internals but im just talking about the blocks of the two cars and the block only.
Hard to say but I would go out on a limb and say as long as the car was maintained well and wasn't beaten to death you should be alright! Should be a real fun first mustang
im pretty sure kennybell only one that make one for the 4.6 tho lots companys say they do but dont , if can find diff one other than kennybell let me know bud .
I believe Kenne Bell and VMP are the only top mounted whipple superchargers yes. There are also prochargers which are common also. Can’t beat the whine of a Kenne bell though
Couple things, your wrong about the block onlu holding 4-500hp. The rods, pistons, bolts etc, are garbage. The block can handle serious power. I have a f1x procharged 5.1 stroker, cams, intake etc at 820 rwhp. Stock block. Go procharger. Better all around blower. Easy to install. If your going to change internals, go no smaller than d1s or d1x. Personally, I would go straight to f1a. Good luck
Supercharger! I had 01 gt with almost the same mods. I eventually got an 01 lightning. If I kept the car I would have put a roots on it. Get the intercooler. Don't cheap out. Do it right.
1999 Mustang S281 non-supercharged... I've been told the Saleen is built up for a supercharger... Would I still need a lot of supporting mods if I added a Turbo?
I'm not too familiar with the internals on that engine but if its similar or the same as the 4.6L 2V GT's in theory you'll be okay pushing around 400rwhp but anything more tends to get a little questionable. Lots of factors and depends how you'll drive the car too. Hope this helps

Does turbo kit come with all exhaust to route up front.? Do you keep your long tubes? Seems like the procharger is easy bolt on compared to fab work of the turbo
I believe the turbo kit comes with all the exhaust parts going back to the catback. But I would have to remove my long tube headers and mid pipe I believe which sucks. And yes exactly turbo is gonna require a lot of custom work and will take longer to perfect versus the bolt on supercharger/procharger
Ratchet Wrenches the BBK Off road x pipe kit include the system to delete the O2 sensor n taking care . I want long tubes in my mustang 1997 . That’s why I Question I want to know What I have to do. Thanks for replay appreciate
Roberto Betancourt well to put long tubes on we had to remove our off road xpipe because the long tubes extend further out and weren’t compatible. So we ran a different style x pipe until we got the adapters to be able to run the off road x pipe again. But it varies some people will get check engine lights with the off road and some dont. But be sure to check out our header install video! Also we have a video explaining the xpipe being too long for the headers
Ratchet Wrenches great bro. Appreciate . Sorry to continue badder you with my questions . But what is gona be in please catalytic n the o2 sensor . It is something to plug it to the O2 sensor n continue running the O2 system faking the Cat is On like that no trouble Code? Thanks n sorry for badder you with my questions.
Roberto Betancourt no worries, they make a o2 spacer which threads into the exhaust piping and then you put the o2 sensor on top of that. It tricks the system to read the appropriate readings! They make those for like $20. We haven’t invested in one yet since we have the tune that can delete the code

I’ve honestly heard these 2v’s can handle up to 700 HP and people run turbo / supercharger set up’s without blown engines. So I guess it really depends on how healthy the engine is to start. Leaning towards camshafts for now and maybe a supercharger kit eventually they are just so expensive

WickedVQ I don’t understand what you’re asking.. are you asking why you need some different suspension setups for some kits or are you asking us to upgrade ours?
@@RatchetWrenches sorry i just wanted to know did you guys do any suspension upgrades on the car. Alot of times i see people go for power but leave the most important part out such as upgrading the stock suspension.
WickedVQ well if you push more power you should always do suspension. You’re not wrong there. But right now we’re on eibach performance lowering springs and struts also some Upgraded motor mounts. If we go with more power which we plan to, we’ll need some sway bars. And some other suspension components to be able to support the power. Now if we go with the turbo kit we’ll have to replace the k member with a tubular style and coil overs. So we aren’t sure which route we’re going just yet. Once we figure that out it will dictate the suspension mods we will be getting! But also we didn’t really announce that stuff in this video because this was more a breakdown of costs for the turbo vs supercharger
Turbo is going to eat that stock bottom end up. With the torque they make you wont be able to push the power levels much on the stock bottom end and its the BEST and second most expensive option. Turbo needs a complete tubular front end (needs to be the ON3 K Member) remember that. The stock turbo that comes in the On3 kit is not great. Other than that its what I will be getting when I switch over. The Vortech (Which I have) with a DIY FMIC is the cheapest by far (mine was used) but does lack the power under the curve you gain with the other 2 options.
The PD blower is going to be an amazing feeling power curve on the street. They are expensive but can be found used for a good price. Also on you comment for cams. They are one of the best bang for buck additions to any boosted application. On the 4.6 2v cams will gain around 20-30hp but on a boosted 4.6 2v the gain is that and more depending on the power level. My car makes 448WHP 410WTQ 13psi with a Vortech V1 SiTrim and 3.125 pulley typhoon intake and 75mm TB 4" CX racing FMIC Tial 50mm BOV Ford green top 42lb injectors Division X 340lph pump 4" DIY power pipe and the biggest K&N the company makes in the fender With a 6R80 swap
I have a supercharged 2v: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ABqgpJ6W-1Q.html If stock block then definitely go blower. Mine makes 385 wheel hp and 385 tq. I daily drove it like this for years (currently resting in my parents garage as I don't have one). Very fun car and for the price of a cheap 2v ($6k gets you a good one in chicagoland), a blower kit you put together ($1500-2k, assuming you can install yourself), and a few hundred for tuning and you have a pretty fun and unique ride. Obviously a bunch more money will be spent on the way on exhaust, suspension, etc but these parts tend to be cheaper for 2vs than newer mustangs. It will always cost more than expected but a 2v or a fox body will always yield a good time Finally, I think blowers tend to be more street-able and reliable if you plan on driving the car a lot.
Just watched your video, sounds real good and definitely pulls! I’ve never heard of finding a blower for $1.5-2k probably would have to get pretty lucky and be searching for a while. But yeah my plan is to most likely throw a supercharger / procharger on it one day when I have the money
@@RatchetWrenches Thanks dude. Yeah I bought a vortech v1 head unit used on the coral forum for about $700 then pieced together the rest of the kit and did all the piping myself. It can be done like this just takes patience and a lot of research in order to get the right parts at good prices.
I’ve heard a lot of people say to do that. I already bought new camshafts so I think I’m gonna stick with the stock block for now. Maybe down the road I’ll do a coyote swap
A 2002 GT is only worth like $5,000 at most with the amount of miles I have. Find me a low mileage cobra for that and I’ll do it... but clean/low mileage cobras are extremely hard to find for a reasonable price
@@RatchetWrenches you can find nice cobras for 15 to 20 grand. Ppl spend that by the time they put forged parts and boost and tune everything. Then u want to upgrade supension. Cobra is a better starting point all around.
@@meezylife673 yeah these eBay kits are usually not direct plug and play. A lot of fab and custom stuff. So after experiencing that on our Miata we want something more designed specifically for the mustang itself
@@RatchetWrenches that’s very understandable I just didn’t know this was the goal. I myself have bought a eBay turbo and I’m in the process of fabbing everything up myself I’m also posting everything on my channel... new to RU-vid and new to the boosted life
@@TurelBey I've heard so many people say that but On3 is currently out of stock so I can't buy that. What's your take on Kenne Bell? Leaning towards buying that actually
@@RatchetWrenches can’t go wrong but I’m just a fan of turbos.... My daily is an 2016 SHO so I’m kinda bias to turbos and RU-vid Richard Holdener he got a lot of good boosted 4.6 2v vids with dyno charts
