[BlueOvalStangGT]

PICS PICS PICS PICS! You still have a/c right?

Zach's probably busy, so I'l post the pics for him.. He can post the rest if he wants, but this gives a good idea.

BTW, the thing sounds pretty sweet at idle, and taking off.

NM I see now its gone, think a kit could be made with the A/c stil there? How are you running your intercooler setup?

 

[1105]

thanks for posting the pictures mike

There is no intercooler on right now due to the lack of time to get it all put on and running in 2.5 days. A kit with A/C could still be made, but it'd take a lot more work.

Total price for this kit:
New Master Power T-70 Turbo - $680
Used 42lb Injectors - $225
Used MAF - $130
Wastegate - $140 but going to get a nice TIAL soon
Used Shorty Headers - $100
V-Band Flange - $45
3 Bolt Flanges - around $30
Intercooler (not on yet) - $225
Misc. Pipes/U-Bends -

That's a bargain price for the cool factor and power gains you're getting. you've listed $1575 worth of parts (+the pipes and U-bends), that is WAY less than a production kit, and you get to say you fabricated it yourself! The more of these DIY turbo kits I see, the more I lean toward goin turbo rather than supercharged.

Nice work!

sob....nevermind

Well I guess today I'll find out what boost feels like if thoes plugs fix my problem, if not do you think I could borrow that coil out Mike so I can see if thats what I need? This thing made 10psi at just over 3000rpm when it did... Cant wait for a nice pull down a back street

 

[xr8d302]

Zach! Just chimed in.....man I wanna see a vid...and that's cheap enough that it makes me wanna try it.....good luck...watch your neck when the boost kicks in

 

[flyboy_323]

That's awesome.

 

[ProKiller]

did i miss why you wanted this done in like three days? whats the big rush?

it loks awesome man. congrats on the job. good thing you didn't give up after your first attempt.

 

[94gts]

Hope it all goes well for you and you tune that beotch into 11's from the start.

i bet hes pretty near 11's as is with the h/c/i (mid 12's? )

dare i say 10's????



BTW- is this a stock block?

 

[94gts]

but that'll be for when I take out the engine whenever it blows to fix up.

guess not

Wow that looks killer!! I really like how the discharge pipe bends over the exhaust pipe.

 

[stprorolla49]

i bet if you (and when i say you i mean people in general) got a used turbo, u could probably do this entire project for a grand......i think that's pretty badass.....i do have one question tho...i have been reading up on turbos and turbo setups lately, and i keep reading how hard it is to tune.......can anyone explain to me better what else need tuning besides a/f ratio???....if i can make some money this summer, than maybe over next winter, i'll do one of these setups

 

[donkey_punch]

the best way to tune it, would be a dyno tune.

i would be careful running without an intercooler. especialy if your going above 10lbs of boost.

 

[stprorolla49]

yea i'd use an intercooler, and get a dyno tune at larocca's......btw donkey.....where in North jersey are u?
