I really want low end torque and the only things I can think of would be to do to achieve this is a 2.25" exhaust and a underdrive pulley. Is there anything else I can get to improve this? thanks

 

Low end torque? Nothing aside from more displacement. Explain low end (RPM range)

 

The VQ30 has plenty of bottom range torque from the factory, just don't go modifying the intake system or you'll just shift you powerband upwards. Exhaust mods will increase mid and top range power but the underdrive pulley won't do much for your needs. In fact, the underdrive pulley will were out your main bearings quicker. I had one on a different car until, I pulled motor apart.

Also, if you're one of those people that shift at 2000 rpm, start shifting around 3000-3500 rpm, you'll start noticing better acceleration and better fuel economy for not bogging your motor.

 

Oh ok I was shifting around 2500k and I am only getting about 22 mpg and I couldn't believe it, Ill try shifting higher, but what I'm talking about is the engine doesn't seem to get up and move until about 4500 rpm and I was wondering what I could do to improve the range around 2500k.

 

Jesus. 2500k, what is that? like 2.5 million? I'd say she'd implde @ 8800 or so.

 

nitrous....

 

LOL guess I wasn't paying attention. I have been looking but I cant find much. I would just like the take off with being pushed into your seat.

 

Na I don't want to do anything real big. I'm just looking for mainly bolt ons. I might be wishing for too much.

 

Rwd>>>fwd

FTW!

 

Ya I guess thats it. I used to have a mustang even though it was also it a six it gave you a kick in the pants. But with a fwd I am getting better traction and the rear end isnt flying away from the rest of the car.

 

check if u have the KS code on -- some users complain that a blown KS takes away low end, mine certainly doesnt

 

Short of S/C or nitrous, their really isnt much out there.

 

Please dont talk any more... a mustang v6 has power???? chevy astro vans beat on all pre 2006 v6 mustangs...

 

stroke that bia lmao.. I kid.

 

maxima has the same power to weight ratio as a mustang actually

 

^^^^you need to get off the crack

 

yea the 4.6 liter...

 

huh me ? i use morphine it helps with the outbursts of anger that randomly affect me

 

no apparition.. u posted too fast... or me too slow?

 

yep same power/ weight as the mustang GT.

lollerz

 

haha yeah thats also true, what mpg do those things get like 15 ? haha mustangs suck

 

yea.... 3.8 liter and 140 horsepower... seriously chevy astros beat the crap out of them....

 

No matter. Peak numbers don't mean much. It destroys us in the torque/pound ratio as well as area under the curve. That's why it's significantly faster, stock for stock, despite the higher weight.


We ARE talking about the 4.6l right?

 

More like 200.

 

have u driven a 3.8 liter mustang?

 

this is directly from the consumer guide webpage

ohv V6 3.8 / 232cu.in. 145-193HP 215-225TQ
5-speed manual: 20/30
4-speed automatic: 20/20

 

Curb Weight, lbs. 3257 convertable 3077 coupe

where as the max is more like this =
dohc V6 3.0 / 181cu.in 190HP 205TQ
5-speed manual: 22/27
4-speed automatic: 21/28
Curb Weight, lbs. 3001

 

so what it doesnt mean anyting... they are insanely slow!

 

so you want more low end torque = increasing standard torque reading at earlier rpm

or

you want more response at lower rpm?

I haven't seen changing exhaust will increase your torque at low rpm, but they certainly will at much higher rpm, if done correctly. Otherwise, the easiest way is to change displacement, or strap a supercharger kit on it.

If you want more response, strip your interior, make the car as light as possibke and you get better response.

 

Irrelevant. They never came with a 140HP 3.8l V6 like you said.

 

you won't find that much low end with bolt ons. Come to think of it, all the goods mods I can think of that give power and not bolt on. You need to custom. Gaining power isn't really a cheap task. Y pipe and new headers would be a start.

 

Okay v6 mustangs make my car look like my 10sec drag S13.. honestly.


Now, stop arguing.

 

:Fixed:

 

Ya I had a 94 mustang which had the 140 hp and 215 tq. It was slow as ***** even after I worked on it $2000 later. I did gears, chip, sts, intake, exhaust, and something else but I cant remember right now.

 

thank ya, thank ya.. even the new ones seem damn slow and then to add to that most are autos of course.

 

. . . . . . .

 

put adjustable cam gears on and back off the cam timing. this might get you more torque, but it will be a dog in upper RPM's

 

Have fun with that.

full exhaust.....vi....emanagment ultimate...things that will get you faster and are bolt ons.

 

VI and EU are not bolt ons...
