twin turbo...

[XxMustang281xX]

well ive decided to twin turbo the GT instead of Kenne Belling it. But my question is this... my uncle troy (yeahloh95) has an 86' SVO 2.3T, and hes swapping his stock turbo (which he says he can put 300 to the wheels with), with a bigger turbo. He said he can find me another stock one just like his, and give me his, and he said it will be a monster, lol. Would you guys do this??

sounds easier then it really is lol

Those turbos are tiny don't bother. It'll cost you way more money than you think to setup a good TT kit, and get it running right. If you're gonna get a turbo kit, just get a hellion single, or HP twin kit.

Its ALOT of work.

well see, he said about setting the whole system up with his turbos then just switching them out for bigger turbos. that way, the whole thing is set up...

your comparing two differant cars...theres no way an 86 turbo mustang kit is going to just bolt onto your car.

You're getting yourself in deep before you even start.

Hey Ray. I have nothing to contribute except to say good luck with whichever way you decide to go.

... and say the word "POP!" before you order anything.

I just ran this through the gibberish to english dictionary and I think this is what he meant:

"We plan to use the smaller turbos for fabrication of all the ducting and tubing. Later, we'll swap those out for larger turbos to fit the application."

^ahhh

Go for it. Just plan on spending dinero on misc. parts that you dont initially think of, and tuning the correctly.

 

[urban96]

i would go with a pre-made turbo kit. bolt it in, tune it, drive it

if your car is a DD tho, i suggest KB

Check out SVPU.com. It's a local shop. He has a 2.5L stroker SVO putting down386rwhp. As far as a tt the install is so much more involved than a single turbo. I'd suggest just running a single turbo. But yes 2.3 + 2.3 = 4.6 sou you'd be good on the tt set up as far as being able to do that.

ok then where is a bolt in kit for cheap. cheaper than 5k??

 

[SaleenGT2001]

cheap turbo

GOOD LUCK!

Don't bother. IMO cutting corners is the worst thing anyone can do to their car because 99% of them ends up regretting it in the end. Besides, 300rwhp is pathetic for any FI, let alone turbo, no matter how cheap it is. Do it right the first time and go for something reputable (ex: Helion, HPP, KB, Vortech, etc.)

+1 for a Hellion kit. I've got one ordered.

What he said.

(I think the OP meant 300hp from the 4-poppin SVO though)
