IM GETTING READY TO ORDER THE HP PERFORMANCE TURBO KIT

After seeing the build up in the mm&ff on the stock motor fox im no longer going to get a supercharger they changed my mind.

They got 433 rwhp and 493 rwtq on 10 psi of boost and a stock efi motor.

I will get pictures of it and my install when it arrives

The kit costs 4500.00 here it is http://www.turbochargedpower.com/79-93 Mustang.htm

I was looking at the blowzilla/flowzilla and by the time i got everything i needed it would be about the same price

HERE IS A PICTURE OF IT

Turbo = TORQUE FTMFW!!!!

If you read into the article they turned the wick up to 16psi and made 531/643. That's no ****in joke with a stock motor. Turbo ftmfw. Just FYI, there's a lot of other really nice turbo kits out there with everything included, and a bigger turbo for around $3k.

If I got a turbo I would stay with HP or Hellion.
Hellion had a build up a year or so ago in one of the mags.They a bullet proof bottom end but the rest was mellow. An E cam with GT40 heads and intake. They cranked it up to only 15 psi and made 700+HP to the wheels! It was cool because it was a stock looking 5.0, still had 16' ponies. All this and the kit lets you keep the stock AC
The kit was 4999.00 and uses Bassani exhaust components.

Build it yourself. MasterPower T70 with B&G piping. Mad savings.

Yep, turbos rule. Good luck.

Dont turn up the boost too much, the block will crack right down the middle. If you are really serious about a turbo setup check out www.turbomustangs.com

I know a guy that has an HP kit for sale, if your interested I'll give you his info.

BTW, turbos are nice.

Be careful with a turbo on a stock engine, the stock HG's don't usually enjoy all that much boost.

RS200 · Jan 1, 2008

If you're spending $4000+ on a turbo kit, the least you can do is spend $100 on new HG's..

i have new arp bolts and cometic hg's

14 psi is borderline for reliability on track. I'd stay at 9-10 psi for street, 14 for track, and 18 if you want a new motor in a hurry.

What support did this car have to make those numbers?

My friends car we put a Hellion kit on, with an intake and exhaust it made 350/420, Nowhere close to the power listed here. I have NO idea on how well his was tuned, but being 80 rwhp, and 70-80 rwtq difference I can't imagine that's all in a tune?

I didn't see too much about the setup. The article was more for the suspension they were putting on the car than the turbo setup. From the little bit of it that I could see I think it had a stock intake. It has a 200k mile stock long block. They said they decked the heads to make sure they were flat and put in good gaskets and studs. I don't know how serious the tune was or if they were running pump gas or race gas. I believe 80 rwhp could easily be found in a tune on a boost car. Bentley's car found 200rwhp from a tune! I have seen several stock long block turbo cars over 400 rwhp though.

Those are the lowest numbers I've seen with the Hellion kit.

You always have to be weary of dyno numbers with turbo setups. You will quite often find inflated dyno numbers when taken from higher elevations. You cannot apply STD elevation correction factors to a turbo setup the same way as an n/a one, as the turbo will mostly create it's own atmosphere…and be greatly un-affected by elevation changes. This is of course why turbo setups are so greatly praised in higher elevations….as they don't suffer the losses that n/a setups do.

Also, there are many factors with turbo's that can be detrimental to power output. Simply removing a chambered exhaust for example can net upwards of 50rwhp on a turbo setup. In the same token, timing too has a critical role…and it's easy to ring out an extra 50rwhp by getting a bit more aggressive in regards to your timing curve.

I'd also look into one of the many turbo kit alternatives available. There are a few out there that offer exceptional build quality along with a reasonable price. There is no reason you should have to dish out $4k+ on a turbo kit when there are alternatives that can be had for a little over $3k.

Yes but the car made that power after getting tuned. I don't think a tuner could possibly leave 80 rwhp on the table from another one, or maybe they could?

His numbers did seem low to me, but who am I to complain, all I did was put the kit on for him.

He does have chambered mufflers, and I have heard 50 rwhp might happen, and the tune might be weak or even wrong, I just take a lot of magazine stuff with a grain of salt. Afterall those companies pay the bills, of course the product is going to perform well.
