Twin Turbocharged Vulcan 3.0 :D

as far as my free flow cat goes, take it off. put a stick through it, tada high flow.when doing repaires, tell them you want everything for a SHO.more durable for what we do(struts, ball joints, wheel barings etc).

i went with 2 1/4 inch duell exhaust too

[SupaStealth TT]

wow, that is a sweet ass car dan, do you have the vulcan too?

well, i just did some more measuring and i'm not too sure if i can fit a turbo in the back bank of cylinders, there isn't much space, i think the only way i can put one back there is if i build custom turbo headers that point up, theres lots of space above the headers, but, the whole money issue is my prob, i'm going to college this fall so...but i would still be happy with one turbo, but not as happy

but if i did headers for the back, i would also make them in the front, since there isn't too much space in the front either due to the air conditioning crap and oil filter.

I am determained though to get at least one turbo in this car.

another thing i was wondering, how would you do a single turbo setup with all six cylinders? cause then i would just get a T4 turbo (HUGE) there is one on ebay for like 150 bux and ending in 6hours.

The 135 HP number I quoted was from a 94. Being a Tempo freak, I don't keep track of the vulcan after 94 (when the tempo died). They probably make more than that.

But speaking of SHO's. There's a guy in Canada with an 89 SHO motor in his 94 Topaz. He's got something like 220HP with his mods, plus a 75 shot of giggle gas.

3.8L ownz you Vulcan nutheads!!!!

its basically a 5.0L mustang engine with two less cylinders and pushrods.... its got hella more torque then the Vulcan.... and it burns rubber nicely....

Yamaha 3.0 v6 owns all Tauruses

Yeah, the 3.8 also has a nasty habit of blowing up without any warning.

thanks for that info SR20, it was very a.... not relavent.

anyways...

all you have to do is make a collector pipe or in other terms, a y pipe that will power the turbo.

heres a pic of one for the contour with the turbo manifolds. click me

[SupaStealth TT]

sorry dude it says forbidden, just attach the file, i'm really interested to see the pic.

[SniperX13]

now the big question, is how easy will it be to turbocharge, or supercharge a 3.0L Duratec

[SupaStealth TT]

i'm not sure if the engine bay is set up the same way on a Duratec engine taurus, but i would assume that it is probably the same difficulty.

well, i did more figuring, i'm thinkin' i am goina relocate the battery and do a single turbo right in that whole intake spot. I think i'm goina use a T4 turbo now, if i can find one reasonably priced.

What's up you all. First post going up right here. As for injectors, the vulcan engines with the flex fuel engine (lets you run E85 ethanol) come STOCK with 24# injectors. You can get them stock and the matching fuel pump, but you'll need a reprogram. As for twin turbos, there's no way you'll be able to do it in a ford, especially the vulcan. The upper intake manifold is not designed for it at all. If you want to build your own, be my guest, but on any other twin turbo engine, there are seperate upper intake manifolds for each cylinder bank for each turbo, sometimes to seperate lower intake manifolds also. If you're thinking you can take twin turbos and link them together into a single intake through a Y pipe, that's completely unproductive and the turbos will start fighting each other due to pressure differences just from different cylinders firing on each bank. Just get a single turbo designed for a ~3L engine with a 2.5 exhaust pipe to high flow cats and go duel exhaust with a pair of flowmaster 40 originals. That biatch will roar.
Id also suggest getting the engine ported and polished, that will make a big difference as well. Stock up on head gaskets too.

EDIT: also, about the MAF, whoever said go 50mm maf is apparently out of it. Stock is 55 on the vulcan. I'd go up to a 63mm at least and a matching CAI and have the intake port/polished to 63mm as well.

well, thanx for the advise mobiuslogic, but i have a question for ya about the whole cant have two turbos (even though i've decided on just one now anyways) thing, what about the 3000gt VR-4, that has just about the same type of intake manifold (at least upper) as the vulcan, and it routes both of the intercooler pipes together with a Y pipe into the intake? Unless i'm overlooking something, but it could seam logical that if the turbos are puting out different boost that they could fight each other.

oh, i'm not sure if i have flex fuel, i doubt it, i think it's suppose to say on my fuel door if it is.

attached is an engine pic of a VR4

[mobiuslogic]

Yes you *can* have twin turbos to a single, but they have to be very precisely tuned. I really just meant to make that point that if you try putting two turbos in willy nilly whereever they fit making the pipes to fit also, then you'll run into trouble because the whole system won't be tuned at all. Unless your an automotive engineer what specializes in physics and calculus and can do the math to tune the system to the right length, width and pressure. Besides, it's just a damn Vulcan engine. As for ethanol, it will say on the inside of the gas tank door "Ethanol or Unleaded Gas Only" or it'll have a Flex Fuel badge on the fenders. This is what mine looks like.

is there even room to fit a turbo kit on the atx taurus. i know with the atx contour its a no good because of room issues.
