Hey Guys, question for all of you. There is a guy in my town selling the following twin turbo setup. I'm pretty unfamiliar with all the details, can you tell me if you think its a good deal. He's asking 2700 for everything
Complete Twin Turbocharged 5.0 Mustang Drivetrain
Ok, what we got here is a sweet set-up for all you ford horsepower junkies out there. This has been an on-going project for me the last 2 years. I recently completed the addition of 2 T3 turbos. I'm looking to sell the current set-up to build a Big inch motor with a single huffer.
I will start with the motor. The block is a factory 5.0 HO roller block. I put in a new std/std Ford crank, factory rods re-sized with arp bolts, and a set of STD size forged TRW pistons. The Block only had 60K on it when it was rebuilt, so it did not need bored. Just honed new rings and ready to go. The heads are E6 castings (the heart shaped chamber helps with detonation) they were treated to a fresh valve job, GT-40 springs, and some mild port work on the exhaust side.The motor is equipped with a stock roller cam (makes a lot of exhauxst pressure at low RPM's for quick boost) and a set of new Ford roller lifters. It has 10K on it in stock trim and maybe 50 miles on it with the turbo set up. Put it this way... the car has not been tagged since the turbos were added. Has only been driven enough to know it works REALLY good...lol
Ok, now for the good stuff. A fine pair of Garrett 60/63a/r T3's were added. One has been fully rebuilt the other has new seals. The oil is fed through all braided Russell -3 AN line and aircraft grade aluminum connectors. The drain lines are high grade silicone hose (the blue stuff). Factory stainless steel shorty headers flipped and swapped, ported to match head better, 2.5 mandrel pipe out of the headers going to 1/2" thick stainless flanges...they DO NOT leak!! The charge pipes are mostly 2.25 mandrel. They go into a Y right before the intercooler on the drivers side, then through a huge cooler into 2.5 alum pipe up the pass side into the meter. The meter is a custom Pro-m unit sat up for 24's. The intake looks stock but has 300 dollars worth of extrude honing done to it, a truly awesome piece. Great bottom end, and will out flow a cobra intake! Its only 9cfm under a tubular GT-40. 3/8 heat spacer, 70mm BBK T-body, matching 70MM polished EGR spacer, 24#FMS injectors, kirban ajustable regulator, 255 pump
That about covers the induction. Around the engine we have: 9mm FMS wires, blaster TFI coil, plenty of heat wrap on the headers to keep from roasting the plug wires (last set lasted not 15 mins...lol). It also comes with 2 custom made chrome air filters. The one for the pass side goes down into the fender well and the drivers side uses a stock SVO outlet with the air filter connected. There are down pipes for the turbos. The first 2 feet out of the turbos are mandrel pipe and the rest made on a tubing bender. They go down about as far as a long tube header would.
The transmission is a T5 out of an 85 GT I own as well. The car has 58K orig miles and the motor was stock. The Trans was never hurt, shifts great, fluid is clean. The shifter is a brand new B&M ripper, not the cheap one either the one with positive stops. The clutch is called the "Hussler" made by Fort Wayne Clutch INC. It is brand new, as well, and works awesome. It is a dual friction unit with a 2000 lb plate.
With this sweet package deal you will also receive all the mass-air injection wiring and EEC!!! The EEC is a factory re-man A9p. Will come with the O2 extensions I made and all the relays as well. Sensors, underdrive pullies, water pump etc. Only things under the hood you dont get are the rad, cooling fan and alternator. Enough stuff comes with this you could put this drivetrain in anything!
I have drove the car a little. I had an FMU on it at first but couldnt get it to work right. After removing that I jacked the fuel pressure to 45 PSI and set the timing back to 27 degrees total, just to be safe. 24# injectors are a bit too small to run with no FMU and full timing. But, even de-tuned the car still has mad power. In second gear when punched there is a slight delay then the boost comes on and incenerates my 16/9 cobra R's. In third under hard acceleration the car will break traction as well... and it has 3:55 gears!!! And I'm not talking about power shifting and "catching" third. I'm talking about going 70 MPH and starting to feel the tires break loose! The car has not been beat at all. As i said before the timing it set at a very safe spot and it has a factory rev limiter that stops the engine at 5250. The gates stop the turbos at 10-11 lbs and it has never been beyond that.
The car can be driven and the parts pulled out afterwards if the buyer wants. Or it will take approx 3 days for me to remove everything. I work at a garage and have all the right tools. I take pride in my work, and care will be taken when parts are removed.
