Default Upgrade Engine

Hey Everyone,

I have a 2002 Mustang V6 and I am looking for ways to improve the engine. Such as making it go faster, adding twinturbos, or replacing it with a better engine. If anyone has any suggestions for a new owner I would greatly appreciate it.

Exactly how much money do you have, because this is like the 100th time this month where I've read

Hey, I'm getting a (insert F/I class here) and I need to know what to do, or

Hi, I'm new what does an (insert F/I class here) cost, or

Hey, looking at swaping engines, what all is involved?

Seriously, I read these every ten seconds, and nobody does it, make sure you have enough money, because none of these mods are cheap, twin turbo, that's at least $5000 right there, engine swap, hope you're not looking into putting a V8 in the car, because that's another $4000-6000+ dollars just to do the swap. Seriously, make sure you know how much this stuff is gonna cost before you ask, these threads appear litterally once to twice a week.

If you want to make it fast you can do it semi cheaply with a good tuned 100 rwhp shot of nitrous oxide, along with a gear swap and limited differential swap, you'll be running sweet times in no time at all.

True. But if hes going to go twin turbos or engine swap. Sell the v6 and get a v8 mustang it would be much much cheaper and its a better car. So thats a win win.

ya, cause with the V-8s, you need a forged short block at 500 HP........... and the stock heads dont flow as good........and they have weaker rods..........and mains...............cranks...........blocks

a properly tuned 11 psi procharger or 14 psi turbo will be fine on a stock motor, a procharger on split port will put out around 300 rwhp and a TT around 400 rwhp

Better watch it there mustangman, because you're about to hang yourself. V6s are good up to around 300 or so rwhp on stock internals, but push it too far beyond that, and then get on it a lot, and you're gonna find yourself stuck on the side of the road with a blown engine.
