there was a twin turbo kit that I've heard about for the 4.6 that you can't spot from just looking at the engine (supposedly)

I've seen a few twin turbo 5.0s (@ 5.0s vs The World) they involve MASSIVE infusions of cash to be any good, but are generally extremely impressive.

#23, I saw one attempt at one on our forums 18456. Guess those weren't forged internals.

5.0s are strong, but you need to reinforce them. I will admit to putting damn near $5k into the internals of my old Capri.

#26, What exactly had been done to that one? We've heard about the Eclipse and the CRX, and I remember that you said you used the Capri at the dragstrip, but you never said exactly what it was (well, not that I know of).

CRX's 1988 Mercury Capri
It was born with a 4cylinder and an automatic. I was looking for a project car around early '95 and was attracted to the 5.0. I got the Capri for a minimum investment. I bought a R302 4-bolt main block and began what turned into the most lengthly engine build I have ever done. I knew I was going to end up looking at a level of power most would term insane, so I got really serious with the internals, although the initial build wasn't looking at a whole lot of power. I ended up with an internally balanced Scat forged crankshaft, Speedpro rings, CP Racing low-compression slugs, and Scat H-beam rods (which I believe were rated for something around 750hp) With Twisted Wedge aluminum heads, a rather complicated mix of valvtrain componentry, and a cam that was realistically too much for the motor, it ran. Despite running lower than stock compression, it still put something around 250-260hp to the rear wheels... (con't)

#34, Pretty decent output for an NA 302, considering what they were rated at from the factory

...which was probably more due to the rev capabilities of the valvetrain than anything else (around 7,000 RPM no problem. I've always had a thing for insane RPMS) This was my driver for nearly two months, at which point I was being challenged quite a lot at the races, and had had enough of losing. Out went the 3.73s and 255/55 R 16 michelins, and in went 4.11s and M/T ET streets on 15x10 rims. Then I dove under the hood and didn't come out until about $5k later. In went a weiand blower, set up for roughly 11psi of boost. At the same time in went a Holley nitrous system, with jetting for around 150hp. (This was back before it was called NAAWSS, mind you) Add a rollcage, a 5" cowl hood, a mini-tub kit, a C-clip eliminator kit for the 8.8, a total new gearset for the T5, and a McLeod single-disc clutch. Easy 10.8. Learn about icing the intake manifold, etc, etc, and you're running a consistent 10.2, with occasional dips into the 9s. And that was my Capri.
