Turbocharged Ford 300: From Stock to Powerful

🔥The Ford 300 inline-six engine was never designed for high horsepower applications, but we're pushing it to the limit.

🧰To turbocharge the Ford 300, we had to fabricate our own custom turbo setup since off-the-shelf kits aren't available.

🔧We installed a larger turbocharger, a wastegate, and designed a free-flowing turbo piping system for maximum performance.

🔩The exhaust system was modified to accommodate the turbo, including using split manifolds for better flow and easier installation.

💻To control the increased boost, we added a Holley Sniper XFlow EFI system, providing precise air-fuel ratio control and improved performance.

Is turbocharging a Ford 300 inline-six engine a common modification?

—No, turbocharging the Ford 300 inline-six is not a common modification due to the lack of off-the-shelf turbo kits. We had to fabricate our own setup.

What is the expected increase in power with the turbocharger?

—While the final horsepower and torque figures will vary, we expect a significant increase in power compared to the stock configuration.

What modifications were made to the exhaust system?

—We modified the exhaust system to accommodate the turbo, including using split manifolds for better flow and easier installation.

Why did you choose the Holley Sniper XFlow EFI system?

—We chose the Holley Sniper XFlow EFI system for its ability to provide precise air-fuel ratio control and improved performance in turbocharged applications.

Will the turbocharged Ford 300 be used in a vehicle or on a dyno?

—For now, the turbocharged Ford 300 will be used on a dyno. If it goes into a vehicle, the entire system will need to be re-engineered.

00:00Introducing the Ford 300 inline-six engine, which we'll be transforming from stock to turbocharged.

02:15Our first step is to install a larger turbocharger, a wastegate, and design a custom turbo piping system for maximum performance.

06:40We modified the exhaust system to accommodate the turbo, including using split manifolds for better flow and easier installation.

10:00To control the increased boost, we added a Holley Sniper XFlow EFI system, providing precise air-fuel ratio control and improved performance.

12:00With all the modifications complete, the turbocharged Ford 300 is almost ready for the dyno, where we'll reveal its final horsepower and torque figures.
