Can you make a v6 mustang fast

Click to see full answer Similarly, you may ask, can you make a v6 into a v8? To actually convert an engine to a higher or lower V you would have to completely disassemble the engine, taking all parts off and out of it, cut off one end of it, smoothing up the rough edges of course, and adding another engine of the same dimensions with a side of it cut off. By replacing it with a V8 engine. Beside above, how can I make my v6 Mustang faster than a v8?

Replace the air box with a cold-air intake. Have the engine's computer reprogrammed. Install a better suspension. Replace the stock wheels and tires with a performance wheel and tire package. Lighten it. The V6 Mustang makes hp, goes 0—60 in 6. The V8 Mustang makes hp, goes 0—60 in 4. From what the factory claims, you need to make up a difference of about hp.

Prices increase from these figures based on complexity of the engine and the brand of car. Actual year, motor that was in the car, and transmission that is in the car or what you plan to use. Remember, the Referee Inspection program is a benefit for people who do engine swaps. The California smog laws on engine swaps or engine changes are consistent with common sense, safety, and emissions reduction.

That is, if it is legal in California , then according to the EPA, it is legal in all other states. A V6 has six cylinders in a 'V' formation, a V8 has 8, also in a 'V'. Contrary to what's being suggested, the number of cylinders does not primarily determine how fuel-efficient or powerful the engine is. Arguably, friction losses will be greater in a V8 than in a V6 , simply because the V8 has more moving parts.

Also note that V6 engines were significantly improved starting with the model year - producing over horse power, close to what the v8 is producing. Looks like yours is an automatic. You'll feel a great improvement in shifts from what I've heard. Possibly the fastest, cheapest way is to centrifuge it. Small turbo fed into a large turbo fed into the engine.

Turbos high and low rpms, will have to get larger injectors, raise the heat rating on the spark plugs, and move up a fuel grade to get the engine to run properly. Please DO NOT go swapping your engine unless you are also willing to pay to change the tranny, suspension and rear end to fit the new engine.

I ended up wanting a Mustang but ended up with a little Chevy S10 with a vortec V6 and I run a horsepower stock but when I get a Mustang it doesn't matter to me whether it's a V6 or a V8 because I know the V6 engines can be built!!!!

And they seem to last forever!!! Benjamin answered 2 years ago. I'm rather new to modding cars. I'm working in an 01 mustang. It's got a V6 3. I was going through a scrap yard and found a gt of the same year.

Would the exhaust tips fit on mine or would they need some work to get on. Never had a ticket or accident. Have a 3. My mother in law got into an accident and my father in law said that it looks like the might of changed some of the parts so he is trying to find out if they are knock off parts or if they are Ford pa Review another car.

Plus, a cold-air intake sounds good. Installing a cold-air intake is generally pretty easy and involves removing the stock air box and then bolting on the new air intake.

A performance ECU will recalibrate how much air, fuel and spark the engine receives and will help it make more power. This modification should be performed by a shop familiar with modifying automotive electronics. Install a better suspension. As originally equipped, the Mustang V6 has a pretty plush suspension, which is great for comfort but not so great for speed.

Remove the stock springs and shocks and install stiffer, lower springs and adjustable-performance shocks that will allow your Mustang to corner faster. Remember, a fast car is not simply fast in a straight line but fast around corners as well. Replace the stock wheels and tires with a performance wheel and tire package.
