Check out the new purchase....

[yellow1995Cobra]

Well after some thought, i decided to sell the S trim i had, and go with a single turbo kit. I found a guy selling a used PTK kit, so i grabbed it. All the cold parts have been re coated, so they look new. There is a bit of rust on the downpipe, but that is expected. Over all the kit looks awesome, and i didnt have to wait a ridculous amount of time to get it like i would have if i bought new.

The intercooler was orginally an air/air, then it was sent back and water tanks were welded on. Im gonn stay away from the air/water and just cut the tanks off..

I just put an order in for a pt61 turbo .81 ar. Suports max 680 hp, so it will be more than enough for what i want to do with the car. I hope to make 450-475rwhp, which shouldnt be a problem, i just dont want to push the stock short block to far. It does have only 10k miles on it though.

Heres some pics of *some* of the stuff. Its gotta be -10 degrees in my garage right now and im outa propane! So i did it quick, i was freeezing lol. I should have some of the kit on the car tomorrow, so ill get a few pics then..

As the engine sits now...

That's going to be sick. Hopefully all the stock stuff stays together.

thanks guys. Im wicked excited to get this mofo running. I still need some parts though(romac, pro-m, shorty h/x), and the turbo is gonna take 10 days to get

Call me for the official start-up...i want a ride in that mother....

Don't H/X it unless you HAVE to. Get a 4in Dynomax bullet on there.

Well i wanna conect it up to my catback. The H/X is really useless, since the gasses have already mixed. I may try to get some pipes fabbed up to just conect from the y to thecatback. Then again the shorty h pipes are damn cheap, maybe i can find one used..

 

[yellow1995Cobra]

oh and rio, ihope to have it running in 3 weeks. but wont be on the road until the very end of march.

Gonna try to wait for my vanity plates to come in (pwr trp)

 

[Rootus]

Damn you. Now I'm having second thoughts. That turbo kit is so purty...

 

[yellow1995Cobra]

i Hear ya dave... That damn turbomustangs.com got me hooked. When i bought the s-trim, i tried to never go to that site cause i knew reading on there would change my mind.. This should be the last power adder i ever buy for this car, so its a good purchase. I can always up grade the turbo if need be, but i doubt i will ever make that much power. I just wanna have a nice low 11 second street car, and most importantly i wanna enjoy the car.

dave, didnt you say you cut your h/x pipe to fityour longtubes? How did that work out?

 

[Killercanary]

Sick Jesse, just sick. I hear you the turbomustang.com site... over there 700rwhp seems like childs play!!!

Did you get a turbo with the kit you bought off the guy?

 

[Rootus]

dave, didnt you say you cut your h/x pipe to fityour longtubes? How did that work out?

I paid a muffler shop to do it for me. Cost me $90 to have the Magnaflow catted H-pipe cut to fit the LT's, and also to have the Dr. Gas X-pipe fit, cut, and welded up.

So, anyone want to buy some S-trim brackets? J/K

The turbo the guy had was a t-76 (1100 hp) which is obviously way over kill,. He knocked 800 off the price.. So like i said in my first post i ordered a pt61 which should suite my needs perfectly. Plus the turbo is new for piece of mind.


Your right about the 700hp thing lol. its funny going over there from here, such a difference. Stangnet 94/95 room is still the best though.

Dave, how did they roll the end of the pipe to make the flange work? Thats the only part i dont get..

They didn't -- the ends are the original pieces, cut off at about 3" and re-welded. Although I'd expect that they could roll the ends if they had to, they seemed to have a lot of equipment for doing this kind of stuff.

Looks good jesse. I like the plate you have coming also. Do you have any of the supporting parts for the S trim that you used to have ??

[OinkAodeOink]

pretty stuff!!

No doubt your going to love it. and yea, importantly.. keep away from the boost controller. Real easy and Super tempting to just turn a dial for more power, when chalanged, or tempted.

we want install pics and video when its done..

 

[yellow1995Cobra]

Charlie- yea its all gone..

Oink - Ill get some pics up when its on the car. i just finished cutting the water tanks off the intercooler. Gonna start pieceing it together in an hour or so..
