Iam new to your channel how hard is it to swap to a gt500 tvs blower if I want to keep the truck mostly stock with factor fuel set up maybe a inject swap .. with the blower just bolt on to the factory lightning lower manifold.. great vids
@@peterscott2097 welcome and thanks for the support! But, it's not an easy swap at all, a lot of modifications need to be made to the firewall (you have to smash it upwards or cut it for clearance), special adapters, custom intakes, ect. I would not recommend it. If you wanna stay mostly stock, throw a bolt on whipple 2.3 or 2.9, get a good tune, and let it ride. Whipples are very simple to bolt on, the gt500 blower not so much lol.
Great video..iam about to buy a red 01 lightning with 120k on it but it’s all Stock , that’s what i want I could’ve got another one with mods but i Didn’t. I plan on doing all the maintenance you mentioned. I just want a reliable lighting that will last for another 120k great vid again..👍
What motor
Sean Highland big block with two big turbos. Runs 4k lb+ heavy street class
What were you saying about "everytime it fn shifts"? I had a 01 black lightning back in 2008ish. I had traded my 99 cobra and 96 gt in as down payment for that truck. I want another one sooo bad...like sooo bad
@@derekcarter8492 that was my buddy, every time it shifted it would chirp the tires. They were bald and it was cold lol...but oh yes, they are some fun trucks. I'll never get rid of it
Sound good my friend .😉👍The ford lightning 5.4 supercharged make 380hp factory .whit 2stage cam 2aem fuel pumps, better rods arp main, forged pistons hi vol oil pump and ported heads and super supercharged you can easily make 550 hp.to 600 whit nitro.
What was done to the engine?
Everything. Fully forged bottom end, ported/built heads, cams, ect. Set up and rated for 1200hp, the stock blower is the limitation here, for sure.
Plenty more Lightning content on the channel ⚡️ check it out and Subscribe!
I don’t know much about lightnings but I was expecting a whole lot more😅 450 seems a little underwhelming
@@LandonsBuildz 485hp/560tq is pretty good for the little stock blower on 93. Stock blower is a small, heat pump, and has its limits. Plus, they only make 330-350whp stock, so that's 135-155 more hp I was able to squeeze out of the stock blower 🤷♂️
Great video!
Electric fan from LFP?
Dang. Even shifted early and still do this. I can’t imagine the times if you could keep that front end down
Isn't a lighting an electric truck where's the engine reving coming from
@@adambaker7451 Ford made Lightnings well before the current EV and they had a completely different purpose. The Ford SVT Lightning was two generations of performance oriented, muscle trucks. 1st Gen Lightning (1993-1995) came with a 351 Windsor V8, 2nd Gen (1999-2004) with a 5.4 Supercharged V8, along with other performance additions. They were a very limited production, with special badging/build numbers, and all purposed for collecting/racing.
🤦♂️ I don’t even know what to say lol
@@Mr1121628 I don't know much about cars, (I'm a miata guy though), but even this comment made me feel better about my car knowledge.
Has to be rage bait, it’s working 😂😂
How much spray?
Good question, I'll have to do some researching, and try to find out for ya
They should have named them "Sparklers".. not much to back up the Lightning name.
Time to do a LS swap.
Who does your tunes?
Myself. Tuned using SCT PRP Advantage 3 software
Only if all trucks could go this fast. I dont know why people buy trucks if they can't reach the speed limit in them.
Most people who buy trucks are old, they the only ones who can afford them 😂
Bought a truck to tow my toys, not race.
@@mrmclovin6226 naw fr, if you're buying a brand new truck at the dealership, most of them, you are either rich or plain stupid 😂
Coyote swap time
@@ReyesBuilt I considered it lol. If this motor is no good (JDM longblock with 8k miles, so I really hope it is lol), then I'm thinking 5.8 predator swap
Wish my 94' ran like that.....lol
Lithp?
@@GiDD504 lithp.....fat fingered that one lol
I’d still rather have a 94 lightening

Riiiight...not like there's dyno videos with dyno sheets or track videos with time slips on the channel or anything...lol
🙏my friend I salute you from San Diego California. That's a good pass 👌 congratulations nice to see you back again doing videos great 👍 job keep it up 💪✌️
I put on a 6lb lower pulley on my 1999 lightning, how much boost should i be seeing?
14psi give or take. Also, hopefully you did an upgraded maf as well. 6lb pulley will peg a stock maf (especially the 99 since it's smaller than later years), when a maf pegs, the motor will blow up.
@@DebtLife_Projects thanks for the info, and yeah i have a 2600 sct maf, 60lbs injectors on e85, CAI, and a built tranny, haven’t been dyno yet, what numbers should it make a rough estimate??
@@JosePerez-qt8gy ok good! Should be low 400s whp / mid 12s in the quarter, or so.
@@DebtLife_Projects , another quick question i am not seeing 14 psi of boost, do i need to remove/plug the bypass valve??

Tons of fun, my buddy had one back in school. That sound never gets old
Oh sweet, same actually! His truck is the reason 15 years later I had to get my own lol. It never gets old, but it sure does drain my bank account 🤣
Appreciate your patience 🙏 '°°%
Definitely cool setup. What are your IAT'S look like??
IAT is pretty much at ambient when moving/doing a pull, IAT2 (after blower/boost) is between 140-150 at the end of a full, long pull, at 23psi. Back to back pulls doesn't heat soak either, 140-150 every time.
@@DebtLife_Projects what ic pump are you running
@@jplperformance9073 Davis Craig EBP40, Trick Performance intercooler, full 3/4 lines, Afco dual pass heat exchanger, LFP mega tank. Figured I'd list all the cooling system mods. Might delete the heat exchanger and run an interchiller
@DebtLife_Projects how quickly do your IAT'S come down after a run like 90' and run it upto 150 you said then back down to ambient??
I have an 03 and it's terrible how bad this truck runs. I put a new coils new plugs it has no vacuum leaks PVC hoses to the turkey pan have been replaced any information will be greatly appreciated
@@drick2659 I would need a lot more info, there's a lot of variables here. Like what plugs/what are they gapped to/what coils did you use? Did you confirm no leaks with a smoke test? When's the last time you pulled the supercharger off and cleaned the intercooler? Cleaned maf? Cleaned/replaced iac valve? Replaced O2 sensors? Ect.
First and foremost I really appreciate your response. First thing truck idles perfectly fine in revs perfectly fine when not under a load. New plugs tr6 32 gap. New cops. Motorcraft. Mass air is new. I've never replaced o2s. Did replace all the PC hoses even to the turkey pan. Shutters and Misses severely under a load it would probably have a hard time out running a Honda Spree. I replaced the porcelain relay that kicks the pump to 12 volts. I believe it's lean.? And forgot to mention it throws absolutely no codes.
Great video! Thank you for the great detail. 02 f150 Harley #1595.
Your videos have been so informative for lightning owners. Keep up the good work
I bought mine 120k on it and i did/ had to do every bit of this. Im pending the trans and rear diff but yes very good info
I am pretty sure that most garages have floor vents to the outside by code and that would be an easier way to vent.
@@curtisjohnson944 I've never seen a house with floor vents here, ever lol. If I had a better way, I would have. There are zero vents in this garage, no windows, no drier vents through the concrete block, nothing. Thus why I went up and out the soffit, which all these years later still works great.
I wanna drop my L 2 inches in the front what shocks and springs do you recommend there?
YOU DON'T HAVE EMISSION TESTING THERE ?
Nope, but it would pass if I did, it's all emissions compliant
Do you have the model number from the magnaflow exhaust?
So where did you show the removal of the pulley on the supercharger snout?
What would you recommend keene bell supercharger or Whipple supercharger
I would personally go whipple. Can make plenty of power and reliably. Kenne Bells are ok too, but make more heat, so take alittle more effort to make right.
DO YOU THINK THE 5.4 KENNE BELL KIT IS A GOOD OPTION ??
If you have a built motor, with the proper supporting mods, then yup. Kenne Bells make good power on these, with the right setup.
Where is the part your supposed to delete I pulled my charger off to clean the cooler and found all the ceramic on wheels to be on top of cooler after cleaning I believe it's ready to be installed but would like to do it right and delete and catch can just not sure where or what to do.
There's an elbow with a hose that comes from the back/bottom of the lower intake manifold. Take the hose off, elbow out, and put a 3/8 npt plug fitting in the lower intake to block it off. Plenty of threads on Lightningrodder with all the steps/pics, google "Ford Lightning turkey pan mod/delete"
Can you drop the link to purchase part?
By chance, do you know what trans pan gasket you need for that pan and filter? I'm pretty sure I have that in my truck and need to get to the trans filter and fluid. It has a aftermarket pan with a drain plug. Truck is my daily that's why I'm concerned.
Stock gasket and its reuseable, as long as your careful, and don't bend it. I've reused mine quite a few times now, no issues.
I'm trying to figure out a solution for a portable AC unit in my garage but I've been mulling it over for about 2 years now. I have a concrete block wall I'd have to go through to add a direct vent outside and that doesn't seem like a practical solution. The only other options I can think of is to go through the ceiling like is shown here or I thought about cutting a vent directly into my garage door which I could cover with a magnetic cover when not in use, but then I'd have to connect the vent each time I used the AC and would have to remember not to disconnect it before opening the garage door.
I thought about the garage door thing too, seemed like a pain though ( I open and close mine often). What I did here, has been working great for years now. Zero issues, set and forget
