grandpa is cooking bro. other than that hickup between 1st and 2nd, she's flying. can't wait to see what it does when you through caution to the wind. looking forward to the next advenuture Ryan.
Stay 2v, the trick flow 185 head with a set of decent streert able cams on E, 1000hp is easy. The 4v B or C heads are great but cams are a lot more, valve springs are a ton more, and machine work and valves are way more. Plus aftermarket intakes are hard to find and when you do they are an arm and a leg, and the adapters never fit right and leak, believe me I have tried probably every brand made lol. Point is stay simple. Spend that money on a good turbo and a good air to water. The Trick Flow 185s are reliable, and can make well over 1000hp. My 4.6 made 1175 with a set of 185s.
I have an 03 expedition 5.4 and REALLY love your vids! If you had any tips I'd love to hear them! Don't know exactly what all I can do for mine but I know they make a pro-charger for the 5.4.
This build series is really interesting. I’m really interested in what you plan on using for internals, heads, and what not. I currently have a 2000 F150 XLT Ext Cab 5.4L 4x4 that I would loved to do a roots supercharger build with. Built block, forged internals, Ported Heads, cams, etc. it’s awesome to see somebody doing something with this gen truck because nobody really does unless it’s the SVT Lightning.👊🏼🤙🏼
Hey Ryan, Congrats man awesome runs. Unfortunately I put my truck aside for now with the passing of my wife I have other responsibilities. But your 1 2 shift is 5500 and I set mine at 6k with less slip and made it a firmer shift. Doing that makes it harder on the tranny. Also I went to 285 75 17 tires to raise my final gearing and it helped a lot as well.
Consider ported npi heads over the pi. No thread blowout, thicker decks, combustion chamber is similar in cc to a 4v which should keep compression boost friendly, you can get over 225cfm on the intake side without removing the swirl dam which cannot be said for a Pi head and with the added clearance with the piston being in the hole on the 5.4 should let you run some pretty aggressive cams. Trickflow's would be your next best bet but for the money, if you can find someone who knows how to work modular heads, a npi may be a good option.
Gezz Ryan you have had a great run in this clip.. Yes running board removal as far as weight reduction should help but after that..... No one wants you to strip and do it in the way you born.. lol
Been watching your build. It's awesome! I know it's the grandpa truck but please would you consider upgrading to a FX4 wheel or even the 10 spoke version? Keep up the good work.
1 to 2 is hard for low gear performance. That tranny went into every delivery van every cop car everything... mercs lincolns and so many offroaders.. had to be versatile...
Have you tried thinking about putting in 4.10 gears for front and rear? And wider wheels and tires for more traction? I’m curious to know if you plan on keeping be looking stock just to catch people off guard. 😂
You could have taken the tailgate off in less than 5 minutes, I have the same truck and have taken off the tailgate before I removed the bed of the truck to get to the fuel filter😁👍
@@AutoDetour there is no 2v modular head that will touch any of the stock 4v modular heads. I would go with either navigator heads or late production 9thread c heads(03-04 cobra, Lincoln aviator, mach 1, and mercury marauder)
It's fairly difficult to find someone on the street that thinks the old truck next to them wants to race. 😂 But yes, something is in the works! @racingramfam thinks he's gonna take down Gramps in his Dodge....we'll see about that.
It is tuned. We put in a bunch of torque reduction into the tune on the shift, so it’s pulling power before the shift to help save my stock transmission. It does make the shift sound slow, but the actual shift is pretty firm.
Might be a bit risky with the amount of HP your putting down but !!! Ive found it to be faster when I shift manually into 2nd gear right about 40mph, ...yeah it'll bang the trans a bit but I let off the gas halfway, shift to 2nd, take it to 65 and shift back into drive 😁
Might need a better gear box ..... and some axle mods as well. The transmission is frying itself under boost.....and your hole shot is slooooowwww because of high gears ⚙️.... Not knocking you.....but the next level will amaze you.
Takes car seats out to reduce weight...proceeds to fill tank with gas. LOL
Haha! I filled it the day before, but yeah.... I regretted that decision. LOL
You have to keep these tanks over half full because you will uncover the fuel pump when all the fuel goes to the back of the tank during a 4WD launch
I like the toilet part lol and dang gramps going to neeed alll the boost against whitie 😎
We'll see about that...💪
Congrats! I didn't think it would do it...probably the pre-run dump that made the difference
Haha! Guaranteed!
Look into the j-mod for the transmission it might fix that 1 2 shift
A tune for the shift schedule will fix it but the jmod is a huge improvement in shift firmness and will make it live longer at that power.
What is jmod?
grandpa is cooking bro. other than that hickup between 1st and 2nd, she's flying. can't wait to see what it does when you through caution to the wind.
looking forward to the next advenuture Ryan.
Thanks Jon! Casey the tuner is already working on a new tune to fix that. I will immediately need to test it out of course! 😂

You need to get a Dragy. I really want to know what this runs in the 1/4 mile.
I've been thinking about that. I need to look at that again. I'm really interested in the video overlay feature
Got an 04 with the 5.4 and now it a goal to get a big single turbski on it
No dislikes, you're doing something right
take seats and tail gate half take gas and press the tow button and do a burnot in 2wheel then switch to 4 wheel and youll fly
About to buy a single can long bed and do a twin turbo setup 😂🎉
Love my 10th gen!
Me too!
I wonder what a cam would do! With the stock block!
A cam would wake that thing up
Imagine what 2 would do! LOL. Cams are coming on the new motor for sure. I don't know about this one.
Wow... That thing is BADASS!
😮😀 congrats! That's bananas.
That’s sick. Great job!

Tighten the plug gaps a few thousandths, it'll help under boost. If you haven't already of course. That truck is scooting!
Cool overhead shots at the beginning! Your drone...?
Thank you! Yes. I have a DJI Mavic Pro
Awesome.. That is one mean jellybean!
Haha! Mean Jellybean! 🤣 I like that
Gezz Ryan you have had a great run in this clip.. Yes running board removal as far as weight reduction should help but after that..... No one wants you to strip and do it in the way you born.. lol
Weight reduction........FLUSH,.....LOL!
😂
When is the last time you check the spark plugs? Maybe throw a new set in there?
Umm. Never... Lol I should probably do that soon. Only about 4,000 miles since install so far.
I'm assuming you put new plugs in then?
Oh yeah. I put brand new NGK TR 6's in for the turbo install and gapped them down. I can't remember the gap off the top of my head
Might be Worth pulling one to see how it looks.
@@sportysmith66 lol pulling a spark plug on a 5.4 is a 3 weekend typa thing
LMAO that toilet flush weight reduction
What about spark plugs? Dont they blow out of the holes?
A built transmission with firmer shifts and a stall would definitely get you deep in the 4s.
I need those head lights in my life .
J mod would help a little for sure. And I'd suggest maybe manual shift the 1 2 at 4900to5000 and maybe it will hit second quicker for ya
Congrats man...Love this truck...
Hell yea! just gained a sub brother love the f150 content
Keep it up 💯💯💯
Thank you!
not gonna talk about how his crew cab got to 100 faster than my extended cab stock 5.4 with wheels and tires can get to 60, haha. nice
he hit 100 faster than mine (02 literally same truck but red minus mods) could hit 60.......
Been watching your build. It's awesome! I know it's the grandpa truck but please would you consider upgrading to a FX4 wheel or even the 10 spoke version? Keep up the good work.
Take the tailgate off and spare tire out easy 100lbs there
Lboy Devine facts
Ohhh! Missed opportunity for sure! Good thinking!
Remove spare tire, rear seat. running boards and a lighter battery before tranny shift kit, and low pro tires will give you steeper gearing.
A full tank of gas is about the the same as having a small human in the back... which could actually help grip ... did you take the spare out?
I want this so bad lol
Take out the spare tire dang it Bobby😂
I still see unnecessary seatbacks in the rear! Looks like gramps was due for a fall cleaning :P
i live in MN how much does it cost? I’ll do it to my truck and then we can see what stock one is better
ah the joys of having kids riding in our vehicles!!! LMAO
Truth! LOL
1 to 2 is hard for low gear performance. That tranny went into every delivery van every cop car everything... mercs lincolns and so many offroaders.. had to be versatile...
I’d say adjust the shifting better or put a shift kit on it
Have you tried thinking about putting in 4.10 gears for front and rear? And wider wheels and tires for more traction? I’m curious to know if you plan on keeping be looking stock just to catch people off guard. 😂
Are you going to sell the old turbo set up? If so I'm interested.
After the next build and I don't need it anymore, then yeah, I definitely would!
I’m interested too.
I'm extremely interested
It would be awesome to put it on my 03 BOSS 5.4 please keep me in mind, thank you, Paul
That sounds wicked. Try it on a half tank of fuel lmao
The TRX will do 4.5, urs does 4.8 thats impressive!
I have the single cab v8 version of this truck I would definitely do this... I just don't know if the transmission will hold
I think if that thing didn't take 20 minutes to shift it would be a lot faster. this truck is awesome though
That’s fast
That truck would do great with a shift kit
You need a shift kit for fast gear shifts
1:56 Looks like he was cleaning his truck instead
I wonder what it would do for a 90 series f 150 with a 300 I6 or otherwise 4.9 l
Any issues with the turbo how's it holding up?
You could have taken the tailgate off in less than 5 minutes, I have the same truck and have taken off the tailgate before I removed the bed of the truck to get to the fuel filter😁👍
Shift kit
Grab a set of 4v heads for your new motor
You think that would be better than TrickFlow 2v heads?
Don't know I built my 02 f150 with ported navigator heads and cobra cams then used the cg fabrication gt 500 twin turbo hot side kit with eBay turbos
@@AutoDetour there is no 2v modular head that will touch any of the stock 4v modular heads. I would go with either navigator heads or late production 9thread c heads(03-04 cobra, Lincoln aviator, mach 1, and mercury marauder)
How much HP can the stock 5.4 handle?
Can this be done on my ford expedition 1999 4.6?
That’s what my mustang did all motor well 5.2 😩
Did you have it engaged on the 4x4 ?
A nice 3200 stall should put you in the 4 second range much easier
Wonder what the power curve would look like with a 67mm?
Does this work with the v6 version?
No ECU tune?
Next time don’t have a full tank of gas that’s just extra weight
Does it have a 4 speed trans?
What kind of turbo is it
I thought you said you would hurt some feelings with this soon
adam theiss he’s racing my twin turbo dodge soon so his feeling might get hurt lol
It's fairly difficult to find someone on the street that thinks the old truck next to them wants to race. 😂 But yes, something is in the works! @racingramfam thinks he's gonna take down Gramps in his Dodge....we'll see about that.
@@AutoDetour neutral and rev limiter at the light that’ll let them know
I bet if you J-mod the trans and get a better converter you'll knock off half a second
Is it v6 or v8
hey I havint seen your vids in a while. everything going alright?
Is that old block steel or iron?
How many miles did it have before you boosted it
It had 107k miles on it when we installed the turbo.
If the shift was tighter it would do it
DO DE JMOD
That trans needs tuned BAD.
It is tuned. We put in a bunch of torque reduction into the tune on the shift, so it’s pulling power before the shift to help save my stock transmission. It does make the shift sound slow, but the actual shift is pretty firm.
Put stickers on your truck youll gain 50hp 😂
Mine does that stock wo a turbo
If you’re not using Exxon 93 octane white gas, you’re loosing about 10/15 horsepower according to power nation.
BP is the only place I can find 93 around here.
@@AutoDetour I hear you brother!!
Might be a bit risky with the amount of HP your putting down but !!! Ive found it to be faster when I shift manually into 2nd gear right about 40mph, ...yeah it'll bang the trans a bit but I let off the gas halfway, shift to 2nd, take it to 65 and shift back into drive 😁
Put a bigger throttle body on er
Just me or trans slipping like hell? That could effect times to
It's actually the tune pulling power before the shift so the transmission will live.
Might need a better gear box ..... and some axle mods as well.
The transmission is frying itself under boost.....and your hole shot is slooooowwww because of high gears ⚙️....
Not knocking you.....but the next level will amaze you.
My guess is in between 500-515
Put a crazy number on what you would sell grandpa for?
🤑🤑
Haven't even thought about it. LOL Hes been too good to me.
The trans is where you're losing most of your time
Wanna sell your current setup?
We’ll see. I might after the new engine goes in. Or I may put it in a different truck
Weight reduction
5.4 Triton engine is awful
