I would love to do this turbo setup on my 2000 v10 excursion 4x4 with 66k. I tow a lot 12.5k and am always looking for more power. This setup with a mild 6psi boost intercooled would be a descent path forward. I have to have all 8 seats for the family camping trip. I have watched and studied your other videos. I would be excellent to a renewed parts cost and build list with boost tuning devices and theory from you. Please do that video as well.
The gap on the sparkplug is a little off? Lol. I wouldn't have believed it, that it was still able to run. I have never seen 2 pistons leave through the bottom.
i am curious that if you would have gapped the piston rings wider, as all boosted applications require, if it would have held up just fine. boost makes the ring gap close to nothing causing it to sieze and bang.
I was thinking of going that route cuz I can get navigator out of a insurance auction pretty cheap and puting a coyote intake on it with a 90 mm throttle body but blowing up a 5.4 2v is a lot cheaper to replace than a 4v and same with the price on parts
4V flows A LOT more air than a 2V. Use a high lift long duration camshaft to increase your flow and move your airflow up the powerband to decrease low rpm cylinder pressure. You’d be surprised what you can get away with with stock bottom end.
Time for a coyote swap, Texas speed lab near Houston Texas is the go to place for anything coyote swapped and performance. Give Gumby the coyote guru owner a call.
You will not make a 1,000 hp with stock heads they need to be ported with bigger valves . I’m doing a full build on my truck same setup but it’s all the way done
@@AutoDetour and if the heads are trash get some junkyard heads and rebuilt them I think it was like 800$ to rebuild my heads with new valve guides and 3 angle valve job and it was 900$ for stage 3 ported heads with new flattop stainless valves the heads where off 2 times . Don’t use cheap intake gaskets it will bend a rod 😭
Just my opinion but those heads are scrap. I wouldn't rebuild them or even try, that first head was just too beat to hell, though the second one may be saveable.
She held up and lasted alot longer than I thought it would. Can’t wait to see gramps 2.0 though!
Me too! Dang proud of that stock engine!
Long live the mighty 2V.
I'm currently rebuilding my 5.4 2v
Also amazing the transmission hanged on longer than the motor.
Or did I miss a video?
Nope! Transmission is still hangin in there. I thought it was going to be the first to go too!
I keep forgetting that it's not a 4l60e
Today on Auto Detour, Ryan shows you how a turbo can to convert your v8 triton to a v6 in just a 1/4 mile. Hahaha that's amazing I cannot believe it.

Gramps, "Sonny this is how we made v6s back in my day!"
LOL! Probably should've just changed the oil and kept driving it.
@@AutoDetour with dino oil with STP, none of that synthetic Mumbo-Jumbo
4R75W transmission? If so, you might want to switch to 4R or 5R100 beefed up to handle the extra horsepower.
Love the videos thinking of doing a 5.4 2v turbo with a gt45 in my crown Vic since seeing your videos of doing 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds
Thank you! A turbo would wake that Crown Vic right up! LOL
2v loves to make torque, you’re going to be fighting low rpm cylinder pressures. A few ways to mitigate it.
The gap on the sparkplug is a little off? Lol. I wouldn't have believed it, that it was still able to run. I have never seen 2 pistons leave through the bottom.
“A 2nd piston has left the chat” 🙃lol. Be patient on the rebuild and enjoy the process.
Nice V6 conversion
WOW, 2 pistons gone from the cylinders, nuked that ole 5.4.
Liked/subscribed/noti-bell, looking forward to seeing ht piston/rod/++ oil pan contents.
I exploded a Crown Vic 4.6 with 125 shot and it still started and drove on a trailer to be sold. Crazy
My 4.6 ran on 7 cylinders for 100+ miles after losing one piston lol. They say Ford is crap but honestly this is proof it's quite solid.
That's impressive!
@@AutoDetour The most impressive part is we had the whole family in the truck and a 20 foot hybrid camper hahahaha
I've been thinking about doing that for an 04F150 Fx4🎉

What do you gotta do to the computer? Some kind of reflash, I guess. Or is there a better controller?
I forget, this was all on a stock 5.4 down to the truck intake manifold?
Now is the time to stick with a 2v or go coyote. Check out the J&s vampire if you stick with a 2v.
While you have the head out, you going to port it? 2v heads flow terrible stock, even PI.
I’d recommend making it a 4v using navigator parts would get more power instead of using 2v parts maybe even a navigator intake manifold?

Not a bad idea, but I'm going to see how much I can squeeze out of this 2v for now.
By the time you do that, why not the superior coyote instead
@@Djl58 you just need the 4v heads, the block is the same. 03-04 navigators have 4vs in them, and there are a TON of those in junk yards
Omg!! That’s crazy!!

Exciting video. Would have loved to have helped.
If I was going to reuse those heads, I would get some inserts put in while you have it apart.
4.6 marauder heads aren't a bad idea on a 5.4 they have a little bit higher compression that's what I put on my truck when it got rebuilt
Where'd you go?!?!?!?!
I came back just for you. 😁
Hey Ryan,
We need some Gramps update content.
When do you expect/hope to have it all put togethEr?
Hard to say. I just work on it when I have some free time.
You mean she didn't Titan Missle a sparkplug?
Instant V6
Probably pre detonate because no catch can. All that oil in intake manifold is not good. Octane on motor oil is low. 😆
So you made a V6 🤔😉🤣
Basically an EcoBoost. LOL
When a 5.4 v8 wants to be a 4.2 v6
You will not make a 1,000 hp with stock heads they need to be ported with bigger valves . I’m doing a full build on my truck same setup but it’s all the way done
The machine shop has some plans for these heads, so we'll see how it goes.
@@AutoDetour and if the heads are trash get some junkyard heads and rebuilt them I think it was like 800$ to rebuild my heads with new valve guides and 3 angle valve job and it was 900$ for stage 3 ported heads with new flattop stainless valves the heads where off 2 times .

@@MonsterMattGarage I’m interested to see your build. Will you be posting videos soon?
You turned your 5.4 v8 to a 3.5 ecoboost v6 lol.
and added cylinder de-activation. Ahead of it's time really...
Just my opinion but those heads are scrap. I wouldn't rebuild them or even try, that first head was just too beat to hell, though the second one may be saveable.
Dude get a new block
