All junkyard turbo information here please!!

[millhouse]

What sized injectors do you need to run a 6-8 lb system? I have the 255 pump 24's and mass air calibrated to 24's. The turbos i cant imagine being more than 100 for the both of them if you look hard enough, the piping will cost me close to nothing as I have a connection in the family who readily has them avaible and is superb at welding. The only things im questioning is the injectors and mass air i might want to go to 42, I will get a used set off the trader here. The most expensive part is the tune after everythign is done. I am almost positive I can put this together for under 700 dollars.

Your going to need atleast 42's, possibly higher depending on how much boost your going to run. Your also going to need a blow thru maf if your doing twins. Expect to spend atleast $200 for a decent set of injectors and a good $150+ for a blow thru maf sensor. Between those you've already reached half of your goal.

Any turbo's you get from a junk yard is going to be in questionable shape. Unless your buying them new or freshly rebuilt, you should expect to rebuild them. Complete rebuild kits are $70 a piece. You'll need to get the turbine shaft rebalanced also. You can get the professionally rebuilt for around $200 a piece. My turbo's were in great condition when I bought them so they did not need to be rebuilt. I did however spend $150-$200 a piece for them (which is cheap for the condition they are in).

Your going to need a bunch of misc. items that quickly add up. Oil feed lines, drain lines, drain flanges, dran fittings, feed fittings, silicone couplers, clamps,
02 sensor bungs, bov, wastegates, boost gage etc.

Good luck trying. I decided early on not to go to cheap on most of the items.
If you do, you'll end up replacing the cheap **** with things that are made to last...efectivly raising the cost of your builup in the long run.

I keep hearing about this blow thru **** what is it. Why cant a regular C&L powerpipe with an 80mm mass air calibrated for 24lbs work for 6-8 lbs of boost with a 255 fp? Im just wondering I have NO IDEA wut a blow through is and thought my c&l powerpipe would be fine.

Your stock maf and c&l are drawthru maf sensors. A blowthru maf is used when the air is compressed before the maf sensor. On a twin turbo setup...unless you somehow rig two mafs before the turbo's, a single blow thru has to be used.

You'll need the maf calibrated to the larger injectors, just as your c&l is calibrated for the 24lb injectors. Your 24's will not support that much boost without a fmu...which is not recommened for a turbo setup. Yes, people use them...but they are not the proper way to go.

Say what you want to about the guy's welding or setup...

Challenge him to a race

His weld's look like ****!!!

Thats guys bucket would prolly thrash your 13 second time. Why does everyone have a hard time giving this guuy props. He did this himself without ppls comments and with wut he had. Imma do it , my welds are gonna be alot cleaner I hope but as far as I care if it runs good and how it should then its fine. Im not a dress up queen either. Its nice to have some clean **** but a motor is meant to deal ppl it doesnt have to look pretty. Thay car was 100 Percent stock, and will prolly run very low 13's or high 12's with the beer can catch can. Im only in the 12's with HCI and he did it in one night for almost nothing.I think all of you can lick a sack. I dont care if its a personal attack or not, nor do I care if he is a forum member. He is a stang owner, and his car isnt all riced out and lokkinh like a ***got ride so i think he did a pretty good job, and if mine tunrs out looking like his well then i will be just as happy.
Oh by the way thanks for the info on the blow thru... can you send me a link on one to see cost and other details???

You're a freaking idiot...Millhouse has a TT Mustang and I gaurantee it will destroy that car. Why don't you take a look at his thread? He has the same kit as I do (well, hotside.) Check out www.bgturbokits.com to view it. You cna score the exhaust manifolds for $425.

Now, I'm glad you've seen the light DO NOT SKIMP ON FUEL DELIVERY! ...and study some more before you waste money.

Now the guy used cheapo flux-core if I remember right.

Go to megasquirt.com or search it on google or something and you can eliminate the cost of a MAF (atleast $250) and a tune. To elminate the cost of a blowtrough meter you could run a single and since you know a good welder it shouldn't be hard to make the crossover for it. Now for half the idiots that say STOCK BLOCK LMAO the stock block comes forged and if there is nothing abnormal about the engine there will be no problems with a tune. For the price it takes to do a H/C/I you can make your own kit for less than half the price. A Turbocharged 5.0 can make enough power to split the stock block so what is the need of H/C/I except for wasted money?

My pitiful 13 second times were on the stock 200k+ mile stock engine in n/a form. If you take everything turbo and fuel related out of my sig(as well as the exploder engine), youll get the combo I ran those times with .

My current combo as seen in my sig...I'm hoping to run mid-high 11's at 120+mph. I'm hoping for 450-500 rwhp with ~12-14 lbs of boost.

The itty bitty turbo's he used are good for ~350 rwhp max. While that's not bad, it can be had with a decent h/c/i setup.

Again, your best bet is to check out www.turbomustangs.com

You can learn far more over there and quicker.

Read, read and read some more. Make sure to abuse the search button, as the folks over there have heard almost every question 100's of times over.

What is the crossover tube on a single? The only reason I wanted to go twin was that it is super hard to find a big enough used single to make 8lbs with. Im new to this and this guys idea was pretty inspiring. AND I picked heads cam intake because i had no intention of going with a turbo or nitrous i didnt even want a blower untill a while ago.

*COUGH COUGH www.turbomustangs.com COUGH COUGH*

The crossover tube is used on a single turbo setup. It connects one header to the other (crossing to the opposite side of the engine) and the both merge to the turbo flange.

 

[JerryDaugherty]

So you cant run a single turbo off a single header?

How would a staock T-5 handle 450 hp?

The consensus seems to think it's a crap shoot. As long as your easy on it though (no powershifting, excessively hard launches etc.) they seem to work ok. I've had no problems so far...although that doesnt necissarily mean I wont.

Hehe, I overlooked your post man.

Well I got promoted like I predicted I would, going from making $600 a month to $1,460 will help out a lot my sig will actually come true

I'm 18 so don't make fun of my salary guys.

Lol, been there. It will get better. Did I mention I pay $650 a month in child support for my daughter ....

 

[emagdnim]

I know all you guys are dissing this guy hard but i still think its pretty cool what he did and even if its only 350rwhp thats still good for ~$700 !
