I figured I would post some pics of what I've been up to lately.

I dident document a whole build thread because this twin turbo kit was an old kit I had made a few years back and it was allready on here. I had taken it off mainly because I was using the car as a daily driver to work, and the exhaust leaks were getting to me!! I took the kit off, installed a 175 zex kit and longtubes. Now I have a diesel pickup to drive, so the car is back to fun status.

This time I re-fabbed the kit and exhaust and used v-bands. Ecerything is basically the same as before, with the addition of a 50 shot nitrous. It uses a Twin T-3 Chystler 2.3l turbos at ~12 psi with a small front mount intercooler and manual boost controller. I have twin foam air filters in the each fender and a blow through 3" pro-tube MAF, and blow off valve in the right fender. It uses 42lb FMS injectors and for now, a superchip dyno chip from before. I want to send the chip out to Tweecer to have it read.

I relocated the nitrous and purge to the back of the engine bay, and out the cowl area. before I had it dual purge each side of the horse in the grill.

Along with the turbo setup, I installed a cobra front bumper, new steering rack and bushings, new cross drilled rotors and pads, new rear tires, and new 3:55 gears (in place of the 3:27's)

With that said, here are a few pics. Nothing crazy or exotic, just a cheap setup that works great!

all and all how much do you think it cost to build that setup? if you were to do it again, would you change anything? looks like a stout setup. are you going to dyno it?

haha! thanks guys.

I would say the turbo setup cost under 2k, i built it myself so it was just material. The biggest cost was actually the fuel injectors, maf, and tune!

If I were to have more money i would prefer a single t-70 or like, but these work great.

I know all about headgaskets, when I first put it in, I blew 3 in a month. Then I got smart.....decked heads, ARP studs and felpro MLS gaskets..had it on for about 6 months and never another issue again, and since then nitrous and they are great!

since drake's dad mentioned flamethrowers....
This is a video a LONG time ago when I had first used these turbos, car was still green. I had them remote mounted under the rear seat, muffler area. After that, I went to a front mount setup.

Badass!!

Been looking into a turbo setup myself, a single 62mm mounted where the battery goes under the hood. Unfortunately mine will be left to a shop to handle, so my cost will be around 3k just for the turbo stuff itself. Gotta factor in trans, and rear end too...

Kyle, Drake and I, and now my youngest Tristan, love that video....I remember the first time I watched it years ago.......I freakn love the "throwers"....the reason I mentioned HG' is I know you had blown several in the past, IIRC you had it set up to pull air through the side quarter vents.......that comment was total jealousy, I read the entire scroll and most people loved the vid, too bad the one KIA (know it all) had to share his infinite wisdome...LOL

Great work , and paint the damn engine bay......LOL

yeah I was greenmustanggt....I still have the video of the flame throwers in the dark, but its on my parent's computer


I was debating painting the engine bay, but for some reason, I like the simplicity of just being able to touch it up with the high heat paint.

Anyway, I am just about to take it out for a drive in the next few days. I am just setting up the rear gears now, and It will be done!
