Ax4n: How To Build It Stronger??? Help!!!

[SHODWN]

I will let you know soon enough. He is building mine along with forcing air down the motor. Root style brother. I'll keep everyone posted. And its "Pinocchio" bud. :laugh_ti:

****, this isnt the car thats been there for two to three years is it?

Doug was interested in seeing how an AX4N would handle low end torque issues and walked me through how he rebuilds/upgrades transmissions if I agreed not to disclose any information on how he does what he does. I've honored our agreements.

I've already got 1 year and 10,000 miles on a car that may not be a dyno queen, but IS a torque monster. Punch the throttle at 20 mph and the tires just shred. This tranny, that I built absolutely at Doug's instruction, has held up exceptionally well. My stock tranny died in less than 200 miles with my M90 supercharger pushing the low end.
The things I did to this tranny would have NEVER occurred to me without Doug's prompting and upon review, I believe these mods are why this tranny has held together.

Anything built by a man has a chance for failure, as an Engineer I would never dispute that. But Doug's tranny is as good or better than any I've crossed paths with.

is that the 191 hp car?

My FPS tranny lasted about 6 months. Definitely not worth the money I spent on it.

Hey,
I don't know of anyone or any V-8 SHO that has been turboed. Back when I agreed to do the mod, a blower was all I was interested in. Not a turbo. Now, it sounds like a good idea and all, but cost effective may not be the answer for a car as old as the SHOs. But, the V-6s are being done almost everyday. So, until someone turbos a V-8, we shall see. When I go turbo on a car one day, it'll be in a Beemer. Not an SHO.

SHO U UP, What power levels are you planning on making?? 400+

Why not turbo your car??

I would think Eric's would have more than 191 at the wheels though. Just doesn't seem right to me. I am hoping mine hits 350+ at the wheels but am not too worried if it doesn't. Doug wants it to be streetable and reliable at the same time. And I don't rag my vehicles out. I already have a drag vehicle so the SHO will only see nice weather anyway. I'll be sure to post the specs once I know them. Good luck with your build and be sure to supply us with some pics to drool over.

 

[96blackSHO]

i will do so and i am building it so its reliable it has to be not that its my DD but i love driving it so it has to be and im having a real SHO guy build it up at NESHO i recommend you do so as well you wont be dissapointed

 

[SHO U UP]

That's cool! I've been wanting to see a turbo slapped on a V-8 SHO. Be sure to get pics and post them when you can. I supposed I could have the V-8 SHO I have now here with me turboed, but I have much BIGGER plans for another Ford toy of mine in January. Pretty much once my other SHO is force fed air by a "REAL" SHO guy too, that'll be it for modding the SHOs for me. Good luck with your build bro. We'll be waiting to see your SHOw.
