 Yo man what single turbo are you going to run? By your avatar pic from HP it looks like youre planning on using their kit. Let me know what your plan is. If you havent already ordered from them I highly suggest you don't, and if you have, I suggest you return it as soon as possible.

You should achieve this without Nitrous IMO. Just make sure to spend the money and get the car tuned.

Sound's like a good project, but I'm concerned that the turbo may be a bit too small.
If you have any more details on the turbo send em my way and I'll take a closer look at em.

Car will be sick Tom !! Nitrous whore had a turbo car he built . Ask him about how far a t-5 will go .... I went for a ride in it and all he did was shift into 3rd and give it a little gas and BOOM !! That was with a 93 cobra tranny too . Might want to start budgeting for a tremec or beefed up auto . The auto would work better with the turbo . It will help load it on launch and keeps a load on the turbo when shifting for better performance and acceleration . Something to consider ..

RE: turbo project 10's update 1/23/10


heres a update on stang. got some picstures of the engine bay in progress.i took the motor and tranny out. took the whole wiring harness out gunna hide it on the inside of the car. this year it will have a 347 with afr185 heads and the 62-1 turbo should make around 550rwhp if the fuel system keeps up with it. let me know what you think should be done by april. i want to put a 8pt cage in it too depending on the funds

Are you going to get the hotside hi temp coated? Its worth it for the few hundred it will cost you. Thats a nice interior too. I like the seats. Not sure on that shifter though.

RE: turbo project 10's update 2/7/10


got some more pictures for everyone. finally got my chromoly radiator support and got my intercooler tabs for the brackets done. the radiator support is 1 5/8 chromoly and i welded pieces of 9/16 round stock that are drilled and tapped 3/8 for the lower intercooler brackets. got a couple pics of some practice welds of the chromoly to mild steel came out pretty good. the shortblock in the pic is a 347 cast crank i beam rods with arp hardware and i think keith black pistons. still trying to find out what kind of pistons they are. the afr 185's are a 72cc head so i just got to make sure what cc the pistons are so i can figure out the compression. here are some pics. i should have the radiator support installed next weekend.

those look like keith blacks be careful on the tune if you decide to use them. I would not use them myself. If you decide to step up come by the shop.

RE: turbo project 10's update 2/13/10


i finally got some time to put the chromoly radiator support in today. came out pretty good for a plumber haha. i plated the underside of the frame with some 3/16 plate.thats also what i made the gussets out of too. only took a couple hours and it is 20x more ridged then the stock tinfoil radiator support for sure. i also got some pics of my rear end.
















can you tell what cylinder the head gasket blew?

stock one made out of tin foil
