Bump 4 Going Turbo..!!! Mstangs Pencil me in for phase 1 install as soon as spring hits.
Will do....wrapping up this last 3800 install and then try to get LS4 done and on the road. After that I plan to start working on going turbo on my 3800 for practice....

I have a few more purchases to go but want to top swap it for phase 1 (basically go NA and prep 4 turbo) and then add the turbo stuff for phase 2.
I will have turbo cam, L26 intake, double roller, 130# springs, OE lifters, low mount alt. Thinking about getting Whodini low mount unless you have a FF one laying around.

Collecting parts now... I just bought a Fiero X low mount. He has 'em on sale for $75 in the Mall...
Thx, for the heads up. I want a low mount but the $$$ and effort required to convert over my car is NOT worth the cost/benefit of a few more points in the looks dept.

LMK when you get ready to pull your setup. I might be interested. I think a 12flat street car would be enough for me. I'm not wanting to build one from scratch. Thinking about going V-8 for looks, but yours is a clean install. If I want a 10 second car, I'll get away from our fun toys. Good luck with your Turbo setup!

Will do, I plan on getting it done in the spring. I thought a 12 sec street rocket would be enough for me too.

No journal, now I will krush super cars instead of just hanging with them.
I hope to make 500whp on 93 octane.
You will be close... its pretty tough to do.
I did 505whp on my 6776, but it was with a pretty darn edgy tune on it... 93 octane is a mess to run on the edge all the time.
I wouldnt really shoot for that sort of power.... stay around 17-18psi to be safe. Your 500whp is going to be up around 20psi and 17 degrees of timing on that turbo.

Dual boost controller to the rescue, safe street boost ~16psi and then there is the kill switch for on the edge racing boost.
I will get that Huge A/W IC and hope for the best but 20PSI and 17* doesn't sound too unreasonable with a ~700WHP turbo.... Billet wheel FTW...
I think I did my reasearch pretty well as there are several ppl making more than 800WHP with this turbo.
I am not sure what octane rating or if meth injection was used but I can sure can copy pretty well.
I figure that I will be pretty darn close to my target HP while still running safe boost levels.
Actually, I could care less about my HP rating but I really just want to bust a consistent 10 sec 1/4 mile.

Are you factoring in good cam(ST3), Headers, dialed in tune, HV3 insert, 3" intake, with a matching high performance Valvetrain to boot so I should not have any blowby or vlavetrain harmonics.
The Turbo selection will NOT be the only factor in making 500WHP on 93 octane.
I think I will be 500 WHP < 20PSI cause my of the billet wheel and my supporting mods.
Man those sure are some pretty parts you got there....Guess I need to start ordering some parts for my build..Of course I am gonna go the cheaper route but should turn out good....

I don't get it. I still see a supercharger. I also see that the belt is is off. First step to real power?
Making room for the trunk mounted intercooler. The one I will actually use will fit better but you get the idea. Also, there is waiting list on Mstangs shop.
