Complete Turbo Mustang Build step by step

[@midwestmustangs]

very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@atompkins99]

Are you kidding me!? Did you fab all the piping yourself? Where did you get the turbo kit? That's a budget beast right there man! Props to you sir!!

[@Realtime1501]

loving the intake,exhaust and header fab on this great work

[@vossperformance]

@EvilEmpireAMV not exactly sure. I have had it on a small chassis synonymous but we maxed the toque out before we were able to make a full pull. I would guess under 600 to the tires. Never turned it up above 12lbs...scared of the stock block.

[@Thefabforums]

Yea I created the entire kit myself. I just bought tubing, turbo, wastegate, and blowoff. I didn't really like any of the other turbo kit designs that were already out there.

[@atompkins99]

Jeez.... That is amazing. Wish I had skills.

[@Thefabforums]

@hemiowner105 No problem...anytime

[@Thefabforums]

@bacon421 Thanks for the reply...The intake is a custom peice I did along with the turbo kit. I plan to do a step by step video build up of both in the near future. Subsribe and I will let you know when they are up.

[@Thefabforums]

I fabed everything my self ...no kit. I hope to be able to make a how to for everyone on the custom build,

[@hemiowner105]

@thefabforumscom thanks for the info i figured it out doing more research,

[@TorcoUSA]

Nice! you got to love MegaSquirt ;)

[@Thefabforums]

@hemiowner105 Both sides must feed the turbo. The turbo creates back pressure which would be unbalanced if only connected to one bank. Plus the more exhaust gas energy you have the larger the potential for power.

[@deanfisher4411]

Nice build I bet that it sounds nice when the external wastegate unleashes music

[@Thefabforums]

yeah that car was super fun to to drive

[@Thefabforums]

Thanks...wait till your see some of the stuff I am working on now :)

[@Thefabforums]

@midwestmustangs Thanks. We tried to do a true budget build, without producing a pile of junk.

[@Thefabforums]

@dakstar289 I think I ended up having 3500 in the complete build, car and all.

[@Thefabforums]

yup...this project was also set to be a budget deal...we only had around 3k in the entire build.

[@dillanwoodring1820]

3k in the entire build? What about the heads, exhaust manifold, and megasquirt?

[@hemiowner105]

really nice! on theses single turbo builds do u have to have both manifolds feed the turbo or can you just use one an let the other side be an actual exhaust?

[@charliespann3967]

I see you do CAD work too. Cardboard Aided Design. very good.

[@Thefabforums]

+Charlie Spann oh yeah...thanks

[@EvilEmpireAMV]

How much horse power r u putting out with everything on there?

[@stangman251]

What kit did you use for your air intake? Trying to find one for my turbo setup

[@dakstar289]

@thefabforumscom how much was this set up?

[@408wSTANG]

excuse the ignorance but the you make your turbo kit?

[@Thefabforums]

That is what it was designed to make people think...project Plain Jane

[@rustykrys888]

The lower intake looks like it's from a truck? I know they have bigger ports because I have rebuilt my old ford. Question now. How could I use that lower without the taller upper on the stang? Maybe make an adapter plate from the oval upper of the stang to the rectangular lower? I have motor mounts that dropped the engine an inch but then I may not be able to use the strut tower brace. Lol

[@Thefabforums]

+Rusty Krys It is from a truck

[@rustykrys888]

+The Fab Forums so how can we make this work on my stang? I know the truck lower will just bolt up. I don't wanna use that tall upper tho. Pretty sure it would involve some hood modifications.

[@rustykrys888]

How do you know what kind of air space to make the plenum with? Or did u just create it to fit over the intake? I would love something like this.

[@Thefabforums]

+Rusty Krys I just basicly created to fit over the intake...works awesome for a boosted app

[@demetriuskirkseyful]

Hi I have a question about tig welding my own turbo headers have welding experience but no tig os it hard

[@Thefabforums]

no its not hard...actually easier once you get the hang of it

[@speedylawson6903]

How Much HP did it make and what turbo was on it

[@Thefabforums]

it had a 70mm master power turbo with a .96ar turbine housing. May awesome power with no lag. I never dynoed but the guy i sold it to did. I think it was in mid 500 to the wheel. I went 7 flat in the eight on an easy pass with a 5 speed.

[@sammyvices2547]

Is this a 351? Or a 302? I want to do something similar with a 302 to see if i can exceed 500hp and remain street/strip driven on boost

[@Thefabforums]

stock 302 bottom end....made 550 on 12 lbs It drove like stock :)

[@sammyvices2547]

The Fab Forums hell yea I knew it was possible with boost and this newer technology, just haven’t seen many people do it. Thank u

[@Thefabforums]

yeah the blocks dont seem to last long at that power level

[@rustykrys888]

Looks exactly like my notch. Lol

[@corydickerson1262]

a friend of mine owns this car in athens, ga now, it is a very fun car

[@corydickerson1262]

The Fab Forums I'll see what I can do.

[@13EN17]

You put the same comment on every Mustang video you watch. LOL nobody cares about what's done to your car dude.
