don't lse's only come with v8's?
Yes. This guy has had it for sale for about 2 or 3 years. He wants waaaaay too much for a car with a salvage title. Discussed here.
No, there was a V6 LSE

With the amount of work in that, looks like it's easy to why the $ he's asking, however with the title/accident issue.....Nope.
The amount of work is irrelevant. It's only worth what the market will bear. It's like putting a $500K addition on a house worth $200K. The house is still only "worth" $200K. I believe they call that over-building in the real estate industry.

The front bumper dosen't line up under the headlights in the ebay pics, doubt it's the original bumper set up.

I built that turbo kit... It was built underneath my company for the lincoln Ls turbos... It's my design and was my company's product when I built it in the summer of '08... I'm thinking about building it again.

Nice picture by the way...
thanks for the words of impressive... means a lot as it was a bastard to design...
and yah, I think the price is outrageous for a car with only a turbo kit on it, but eh, I guess my work adds lots of value to the car... shrugs.

Either way, it would annoy the cr@p outta me.....
would you like a v8 for trial fitting?
maybe your company can also figure out a manual transmission to fit?

That would be pretty awesome if you start up on the kits again!! The work shown on the pics on Turboforums look top notch.
Did you build many of these kits or just a few? Is this something you are wanting to build on a 1 to 1 order basis?
I'd donate my '03 but it doesn't have an engine.
Oh and welcome!!

Yes, I would like a v8 for trial fitting. I would love someone who was in California, but I'm willing to work with anyone who is willing to help. I used to do remote builds when I built two intecooler kits in conjunction with Vortech. I'm a mustang guy, so mustangs are all that I have my hands on, so getting a Lincoln LS to work on again would be fun. Since the design work of building this previous kit took about 6 weeks, I remember what room I have available and what I can do. I'm looking at trying a new design that I am planning, which would be a twin turbo kit.
For anyone who's willing to help I can offer the kit to them at cost. pm me if your interested either on this forum or on theturboforums
After the turbo kit is squared away... yah maybe I'll look at adapting a t-56 to fit... I have some amazing engineers around me and and after I have the room of the tunnel mapped out I can ask them to look at making the bell housing.

Does your 03 have an exhaust? No this kit was a single kit build, and was planning to be a production kit, but that didn't pan out. My former company BTI LLC focused on intercooler kits for mustangs with superchargers- branching out into turbos at the end before I closed its doors. I built two other turbo kits-mustangs and then the Lincoln Kit that is featured on this page, which it seems has become a sort of cult classic. We called it Gamma kit.
I'm planning on opening a new business focusing on turbo kits, exhaust, carbon parts, and big brake kits 14" 4-6 piston brembo kits, which I am planning to fit your vehicles, as well as the kits for the new mustangs, camaros, and challengers, and any other cars that catch my fancy.
So no it won't be a one-on-one thing... I'm trying to make a kit that you can order, will arrive quickly, and will be installed and offer you a reliable horsepower option. I'm planning to have the kit arrive with SCT programmer and file all installed to get the vehicle up and running.
Thank you for the welcome.
Oh, and for the question on the bumper not fitting right. It is not a stock bumper the bumper was custom made by the owner. None of the turbo pipes, turbo, intercooler, or I/C pipes are pushing on it.

I'd love to have one. Call the car an "LS-T".

With all of the things that I'm planning from fuel rails, to and entire fuel system, turbo, etc... I don't see any reason why, with a built motor, your vehicles wouldn't be up in the 800 rwhp mark.
lucky sonofa... me be jealous!

Mainly the lack of aftermarket internal engine parts. Do what i do, look towards jaguar(or noble for the v6) and you'll find most of your parts there.
