Custom Lincoln LS Turbo | Thread profile

Finally, there is now a custom BDT, Belt Drive Turbo, specifically designed for the Lincoln LS. This is simply an awesome piece of equipment designed by Thomas (Geoff) Knight of ATS Turbo. The prototypes were fitted and tested on my car WISPER, a 2005 LS V6. They are amazingly simple in design, troublefree, weighs less than 20lbs., 80 plus horsepower at 6PSI. Contact me for complete kit info, ...

Shiloh - great news on the V6 - I was speaking with Geoff last night. Have you been to the dyno yet? Explain a little more about the kit: - fuel system - injectors and pump? - tuning?

is there one for the 8?

That is my setup. As I posted in my SC thread - Geoff and I are working on the kitting details now.

Quik LS, As you spoke with Geoff; I am sure he filled you in. I will email you the describtion he and I have put together. A web site soley for the LS BDT is in developement. We have not been on the Dyno yet but you know Geoff does not pick #' out of the air. The fuel system stays stock with the addition of one 30lb injector and a custom pressure switch. No ECU mods are needed as it will ...

I have great respect for Geoff - and like his work. From my own experience - be careful about suggesting numbers until you get there. There will always be a few 'challenges' to work through. The V6 is a tried and true platform and should be a lot less complicated than the V8 setup. When you say Quote: We are looking at 60 - 75 HP from the 30 lb and an additional...

Cool. Freehold....as in, the one in NJ?

I am very intrigued and a bit confused at the same time. First of all let me say that my 2004 LS v6 would love to have some forced induction sitting under the hood. One thing I need some clarification on: isn't a "Belt Drive Turbo" more accurately described as a centrifugal supercharger? Since there is no turbine spinning with charge from exhaust it contains only a belt driven...

Right - like a vortech/Paxton type centrifugal supercharger. Belt driven, creates boost in the housing, and is pre-throttle plate - so a 'belt driven turbo' is an accurrate mental image. The difference here is - it looks like an actual inlet side of a turbo with the shaft gearing mechanizm drive by a belt system.

As far as the numbers go, they are not mine, they are Geoff's. These are his estimates based upon his years of experience and results from BDT's developed for and installed on various Dodge Magnums, Cadillac CTS, Ford Mustang and others. We will have WISPER on the Dyno very soon and will post all results. Yes, I am distributing(Selling) the BDT's for the LS; our stand alone web site ...
