Just got finished mocking up for the twin turbos. Body, paint, interior and my new 383w stroker still to go.
What turbos are they? What kind of headers are those? Why carburated? Whats the tranny/car setup? What did it run before? How much power/boost do you plan on running? Where are the inner fenders? Are you getting the pipes/turbos coated or chromed? Looks like a straight forward setup, hope it runs strong for ya. This is mine after 2 years running:
-Turbos are Masterpower TO4E 60 trims with .68A/R T4 P trim turbine housings -Headers are modified PonyDown units ('79-'93 mustang) -carbed because i'm tired of EFI... and because i need more room under hood -tranny is a built C5 with C4 bellhousing and C4 3000 stall/ 9 inch rear with spool and 3:50 gears -ran 12.1 @114mph with a mild 351w with EFI and i never raced it with the 408 stroker (also EFI) -should make an easy 550-600hp on pump gas -inner fenders were removed to help controll heat underhood, and provide extra room. -everything will be ceramic coated. '95 roller block 351 with Eagle 383 forged internals Z303 cam RHS 215 aluminum heads Edelbrock Torker II intake (needed shorter intake....don't want to put a 20 inch colw hood on it!) CSU 750 (powdercoated red) and CSU polished bonnet Aeromotive A1000 and 13204 regulator and 12304 filter ponydown '79-'93 twin turbo headers... needed to be modifed 2 masterpower TO4E 60 trims with T4 .68 a/r undivided turbine housings 31x12x3 xs power intercooler 2 38mm Tial wastegates and Tial 50mm blow off valve innovate wideband AEM tru- boost controller Built C5 with 3000 convertor (non lockup..C4 convertor and C4 bellhousing) 9 inch rear with spooled 3:50 gears (looking for 3:10's)
Now we're talkin.... sounds like 10 flat all day long.... Sick setup. I keep considering going automatic but I have such a hard time giving up the clutch pedal. Let me know how it works out....
I'm tired of pushing in clutches in traffic.....i must be getting old... Should have the hp for 9's if i can get it to hook.
Both cars are impressive. I have been looking into a turbo for my 88 notch. You have given me some ideas. Thanks. Ben SEMPER FI.
hey Vg i see the T to your boost controller. But is your bottom side hooked up to a vacuum somewhere or is it open to atmosphere?
Very nice. I have a friend with a turbo-4 banger pinto with the exact same license plate. I thought it was his car at first, and he wasn't telling me about an engine swap.
That right there is the sickest thing. I am building a DIY kit for my mustang. Where did you get the carb hat? Everyone I talk to doesn't know what I'm after. Did you build your own blow through carb or buy one?
Checking back in. Everything looks great. When I see wiring like that, thats when I start to throw up. Do not like automotive wiring. Let us know what you run! Ben
