1995 Ford F-150, turbocharged.

Post by PJF »

Name: P.J.

MS Info: MS-II, V3 board, V2.36 code, MT V2.25

Vehicle: 1995 Ford 2WD F150

Engine: 4.6 Liter SOHC V8 from a 2002 Mustang GT with a single T70 turbo. Ignition being handled by an EDIS driving the 8 COP's.

Injection: Port injection with Ford green top 42 lbs./hr injectors.

Description: I purchased this truck from a friend with only 77K on the odometer. It had a 4.9 liter inline six and an automatic. I swapped that engine for a late model 2 Valve Mustang engine. I also ditched the auto and put in a 5 speed.

As of right now the engine is idling very well, the truck has yet to make it on the street as I am still sorting the clutch linkage and am waiting on a new driveshaft to be made.

Should anyone be interested the entire build up can be seen here:

Tons and tons of info and pics in that link, it's kind of a long read.

Here are a couple of pictures of the build in progress.

The MS-II, relay board, and EDIS module mounted behind the drivers seat.

The engine and turbo sitting in its new home. Directly behind the turbo the wiring harness is visible. Obviously taken just after I had passed it through the firewall and before any engine bay connections had been made.

And finally a video of the engine starting up and idling. I had forgotten to hook up the MAP line so it sounds like a drag car! Now with the MAP line attached the idle is smooth as silk. I kind of like how it sounds in the video though! :D

Like many others my MS project lit on the first turn of the key. Thanks to Bowling and Grippo for a really great product and thanks to the all the posters here whose vast wealth of knowledge has really helped me out in this project.

Hey, I'm doing a similar 1995 F-150 with a 5.0 and am curious how you are running the factory speedo and cruse control. Do they get inturrepted by removing the factory 60 pin connector?
