Twin turbo 3v that only makes 350? Wut?

Exactly!!

Yeah I wanna say the 3v in those came with 292hp.. Snoop has it right

So they are not specific. If this was actually on a dyno and putting down 350 at all wheels. Then That would not be to bad. You figure that 292hp number stock form is about 250 at the wheels if not less with a 4x4..

That's a lot of hardware for 100hp... I mean, I'm sure the drivetrain is prolly maxed at that but still.

Guess it depends how you look at it. Like I said. I dont have details on the HP numbers. But shit. A 335i (twin turbo)only puts out 300HP stock.

 

[rz79]

I guess. That's a straight six, right? I get your point though.

Junk!

With that thing you can rob the average ghey Honda owner of his $$ in some drag races. Real sick drag racing with sick ass slicks and ghey ass hicks.

God dammit, I thought they were going to offer a new power plant in the new explorers

 

[bimmer4life]

Junk!

Well all Fords are junk silly.

12 grand in work for 100 HP. :banghead:

 

[Yaj Yak]

that looks like a clusterfuck

 

[Soulonfire11]

I actually know the guy that got this done, he honestlyjust really liked his explorer. But the shop that did the work kind of fucked him and didnt get to the 400whp he wanted. So he bought a 5.0 mustang instead

I've saw this truck at Fluid Motor Union (Plainfield) open house

 

[GLIGTO]

ppsshh if FMU touched that thing its lucky to be running. I love a good sleeper tho

I remember this truck. Shortly after I respectfully critiqued the hell out of FMU's work (besides the fabrication ability itself) the owner of said truck gave me a call to see what the heck was wrong with it; since I have built some pretty fun 4.6 & 5.0 Explorers in the past. Those guys at FMU know how to weld and can fabricate, but they know DICK about making a proper turbo system or tuning. They originally tried to use Garrett VNT-25's in this thing which are freaking TINY for a 4.6! They had issues like I predicted, then swapped to two T3 based turbos that I cannot recall. They could not get the tune right and the truck had to have the nuts clipped to dial things back to function half-ways correct. The owner seemed like a real nice guy, but FMU used him as a guinea pig and apparently screwed him over after they could not live up to their promises. It is too bad to hear, and I am sorry to see that he ended up having to sell it in the end.
