The fastest Taurus in the country is a turbo ATX sho. I think a vulcan with a blower wont shred an auto like you think it would.Supercharged 3.0 you gotta manual transmission?

It has been tried many times before, myself included. As far as Taurus SC, we have not have real success yet.If nobody done it on Vulcan engines, i can build some SC kits for Tauruses, if someone will asking me.

Wow very pesimistic views.
Yes the ATX isnt the greatest but it can be rebuilt to handle quite a lot. Just check out the S/C and Turbo ATX SHOs.
To convert to manual you can go to the SHO MTX for the Vulcan but you will need the SCt to take care of the fact that there is no ATX.
Lucky what other trans are you refering too?
Yes for a S/C you would need brackets weither it be centrifical (no hood clearnace issues) or roots. It can be done.
You can also go turbo as well.
Its all very possible, some one jsut needs to do it.

Matt there is no secret. I am following a lead of some guys using a MTX mazda with upgrades with Vulcan engines. That is what I stated before. I also stated the details are not very clear so I am trying to find add'l info. I would like to try to contact them. The write up is over a year old, so I am not sure they are still around. so no secrets here, just following a lead.You might get more help if you tell what your secret is. I would be curious as to which transmission it is.
It might be like the SHO. All SHO owners like S/C becasue that is what kit was put out by the SHOshop, which is the same case for the Ranger I belive. Both are just as capable of producing power. For the turbo you dont have to worry about belts or even much in the way of brackets. This is why it is used a lot in 1 off forced induction upgrades.
The SHO MTX may be hard to get parts for but it dosent need them thatoften. You can still get parts that wear.

Yes there is a secret here. You have yet to reveal what transmission it is, what car its from etc.... Again if you told us maybe some one can help. The SHO transmission is a Mazda tranny.Matt there is no secret. I am following a lead of some guys using a MTX mazda with upgrades with Vulcan engines. That is what I stated before.

The tempo came with the MTX III which is the weaker cousin of the MTX IV. IF they came with the MTX IV it is rare.The MTX IV is NOT plug and play for Gen 3 cars. I found more than one thing does not add up. It is all about fitting the unit properly. I have a couple of friends helping me with some possible solutions but so far it has not left the drawing board. The BEST solution will be finding the elusive 1992 Tempo GLS Coupe with the Vulcan and MTX IV option and see how it was put together. Other alternatives are the 1992 Topaz LTS and 1992 Topaz XR5 with the same option. One thing is for sure, besides the transmission and related hardware the MTX subframe is required. SCT obviously. other parts do not fit properly even tho they look very similar, so we are trying to determine the best approach. Modifying the SHO parts to fit the the car or modifying the Gen 3 parts to fit the transmission. :glare:

So? A turbo setup is easier to do and just about any shop can do the install. I can tell you the Vulcan will make more power!As stated before it will get done and done right. As with most people, money and time are limited but is priority in my list. Second to that is FI/supercharging and with that the 3.3 Morana kit. :x:
I like the turbo idea but unfortunately there not much data/info to go on. Turbo vulcans are very rare. Turbo will probably be easier but without knowing the effect of turbo on Vulcans, I feel somewhat hesitant to try it. I talked to the garrett people sometime back and they suggested the T3/T4 combo. I have the info they mailed to me somewhere in my garage.
The MTX IV is our best and only option, no doubt but if there is something better I would like to know before there is no way back. :thumb:

The mazda transmission is in the five speed probes already IIRC.
Why won't the SHO transmission fit??
You do realize that it has been mated to a 3.8 in a G1, and a 3L in a G2, right?
Are you hoping that you can just come up with some concoction of bastardized parts that will bolt together with no modification?
And another thing, the MTX-IV is not used on the tempo.
The biggest problem you will have using the MTX-IV is running the jackshaft for the passenger side front wheel.
You need to modify the transmission mount or fabricate a new one to bolt it to the frame of the car.
Considering the Subframes Gens 1-4 can all be easily interchanged, I fail to see why you think its so difficult to get it to fit.
Who is on your team? Maybe you are doing your research in all the wrong places?
And all these differences you speak of. Not really sure they even exist. Since everything seems to have an element of secrecy, why bother commenting at all?

Would you say the clearancing done to the subframe weakens it enough to just go ahead and use a g1/2 mtx subframe, or does the clearancing even cause any loss in structural integrity? (since folks are so attached to the more sturdy g3 frame)The SHO MTX won't fit without clearancing the framerail of the car substantially, or perhaps with the Vulcan the motor/trans mounts could be shifted toward the passenger's side to gain some clearance for the trans on the driver's side.
