Twin Turbo Ebay build... FINISHED!! Enjoy the pics :)

[347_Stang]

Alright. Now I know that turbostang is doing this build up as well but I know that its kind of on the back burner for him... well in the case for me.. its my MAIN priority right now.

I placed the order for my turbos and my intercooler last week so they should be here very soon. I already have the headers..

Well to start I have a 93 Mustang GT Convertible. and I plan on making over 500whp. its my only street car and my first turbo mustang... well turbo anything lol. funny thing is... I have never even been in a turbo mustang yet. I have been around them. rode in a supercharged fox before.. but never a TURBO mustang lol. I am very pumped and excited about this entire build! I will be posting up pics through out the progress of my project

Motor:
347 D.S.S rotating assembly shoved in a stock block
forged dish pistons (dish bowl is shape of combustion chamber)
Forged H beam rods
cast steel crank.
ProTopline heads. 200cc intake runners. 64cc chambers. 2.02 in. 1.60 ex.
1.60 comp cam roller rockers.
trick flow stage 2 cam.
Edelbrock RPM intake manifold
65mm throttle body.
polished valve covers that need to be cleaned lol!




trannsmission:
rebuilt T-5 with alloy gears and those kinda goodies.

Rear End:
Stock 02 GT rear.
FRPP 3.73's

Induction:

twin 60 trim.. t3/t4 turbos.
.48 a/r compressor

Internal waste gate is set at 8.3 psi... but I plan to turn that up to atleast 12 ish.

trick flow stage 2 cam.

FRPP 3.73's

Cam Spec's?  Make sure its turbo friendly before you put the engine in . . .

3.73's possibly too much gear . . . .is there a plan/goal other than about 500hp?  Usage Street, Strip?  Being a convertible I wouldn't plan on too much fun a the strip, you'll get kicked out and told not to return until you have FULL cage.

You are going to need injectors and engine management/tuning . . . .

Well its about equivalent to an x cam. although its got more exhaust lift. and 112 lsa. So I do plan on getting a custom cam in the future. but thats not on the agenda as of right now. Im focusing more on getting the turbo kit together and in my car. lol.

Yeah I dont plan on ever taking it to the track... I would say maybe once but obviously get kicked off after that first run lol! So I would like to put a MM tubular K member and coil overs and do my suspension so that its more focused on on taking on the twisties.

and sorry I forgot to mention that I am going to be running 42lb injectors and at first I will just do a basic tune to get me by and than I am going to do some sort of "flip chip" Although I will be going to some sort of standalone eventually

[Mike Gager]

cool hopefully this one goes somewhere!

[347_Stang]

oh it will! Like I said this has been my main priority for a really long time now. so it will be done soon and I will have updates and plenty of pics. and plus I wanted to document my build so I can look back at it later haha.

But I am very confident in this full build

and Im super excited to see how it will end up turning out when its all said and done

[KLRS10]

bullit's on fox's are sexy.... i speak from experience... especially convertibles.... i speak from experience... 

i'm looking forward to seeing more.   i chose a different rout with my car though, i did the DOHC 32 valve swap with a 6 speed.   huge difference from the 4 cylinder auto!

[shortbed454]

cant wait to see how this build turns out. you got a good looking car.

[347_Stang]

Ive got a couple pics of the progress. todd began taking more of my motor apart last night. The exhaust should be completely taken off tonight




oh and thanks for the compliments on my car.

a 32 valver would be bad ass in a fox! Especially a vert hehe. I plan on putting a 6 speed in my car eventually. you should shoot me a pm with pics of your car. Id definately love to see it

[347_Stang]

well the same progress as yesterday but my turbo parts came in yesterday

here is a quick pic

treadstone rocks!

treadstone rocks! 

I was definately impressed when it came in! I did the classic *ooooooooweeee thats shiiinneeeeeeee* hehe

have you ever had any issues with the welds or anything? I heard that intercooler is efficient upwards of 1000hp... But I dont think I will get that high for atleast 6 months haha

[killacal]

Im using I believe its an xspower blow of valve as well as an xspower boost controller. I will have to take pics of them when I get a chance...

I will run it on the 8.3 wastegate in the beginning and see how it goes and than install the boost controller. Im sure it will pull really well on just 8.3 psi

just watching

Havent had any issues with the welds, but then again I wasnt boosting or running hard when IT was running LOL, it looks like very good quality, we'll just have to wait and see if it will support 600HP

Well thats good than. I dont see why it wouldnt support over 600. thats what I want to make... I just dont want to push my block and than rip up my rotating assembly as I want to be able to retain most of it when I go to my boss block setup

[turbostang]

...at this rate it looks like you will get yours done before I do. I'll keep in touch and we can compare notes. lol. Good luck!

HAHA sounds good to me brotha! I am expecting that my car should be on the road in less than a month. but I am also going to change the A arms on it and do some more suspension work while my car is down lol. but thanks for the wishes I definately wasnt trying to steal your thunder so to speak from your personal thread. I just figured this would be a Great way to document my first turbo build

[turbostang]

LOL, No worries man. I have so many things to work on that I don't know when I'll ever get to my own stuff. I'm more than curious as to see how the turbo's hold up more than anything. The headers aren't that bad of quality, but only time will tell on both parts.

 I still have to put the shortblock together, port the heads, and get the converter re-stalled before I get to the turbo stuff. dammit.

Turbostang - I have had my ebay turbos a year now, and beat the absolute crap out of them last summer, no problems so far.  I slowly went up to 17 pounds of boost last summer.


347 stang, Nice Car!

BTW, what the sellers decription for the turbos last year, when those turbos first came out on ebay, was completly wrong, and every single ebay seller had it listed the same way, maybe they fixed that over the last year, they look a little different this year.  But they were advertising .48/.50 45 trim compressor, stage 3 wheel turbine, when I took my turbos apart, what I got was
.60/.50 57 trim (compressor side) t04e turbos

 How many miles are on them? What kind of power do you think it makes?

[1987stang]

Only 500 total miles, but about 75 1/4 mile passes on my big driveway, 130+.  I moved, so hopefully when I get it back together, I can make it over to Bristol  and get it dynoed and see what it can do at the drag strip.  My goal is to have a safe tune hopefully around 600 rwhp at 12 pounds on 93 octane.
