What would you pay for a turbo kit?

xoxbxfx · Jan 3, 2006

I have started looking at turbo kits for fox body cars and they are $3000 without a turbo...thats just piping and intercooler. What would you say a twin turbo kit for a classic would be worth? I ahve a guy locally that can build a setup for me (lots of work) or I can try and do it myself. Im trying to find a resonable price before I ask him how much he wants to do it...

What motor? What body? 67+ can use shorties forward and down with an 8.2 block. Any other and headers need to be custom. Pre-turbo is the challenge. The rest is not too much harder than a fox body. Who are you thinking of building it? Maybe check for pre-turbo only price if you are able to finish it. Somebody on TM made a log set-up from his longtubes. Looked pretty easy. They are not a work of art, but look very funtional.

its a roller forged 302... I was looking to see if anyone made a kit for a classic but I cant find anyone. If I get a set of headers, the rest is cake. We have the tools and I ahve a buddy who can do all the high temp coating for me.

I would have rather had a turbo(s),but like you said, nobody made a kit,some place wanted for a single, $5500+ and I had to send my car to the mid west for about a month.

1968 in the works with those headers and 2 2.5 inch u bends.
Pics are below. It took about 4 hrs. I still need to send them out to get coated.

Thanks. It is still in mock up stages so it hasn't been cleaned up yet. Within the next couple of months it should be running hopefully.
