I was talking to a friend of mine and said that he might be twin turboing (is that even a word?) his stang. It seemed like a good idea, however i know NOTHING about turbo. Can you just find t-bird s/c, switch turbos into a stang and use the t-bird's down pipes? Does anyone have a diagram?

Thanks
Henry

Unfortunately, it's not nearly that simple. I've thrown away the installation instructions I had for the turbo we installed on my friend's car but it was around 25 pages long. Installing a turbo kit on a Mustang is the most difficult "bolt on" there is. Nothing seemed to go exactly like the directions said. It took us the better part of two days just to install it and several more days in the shop from blown head gaskets while tuning it. We got greedy for power and didn't tune conservatively at first. Was it worth it? Over 600 horsepower at the wheels from a car that looked and almost sounded like a stocker. It drove like a stocker and got almost 20 mpg. Do you have the need for speed? A turbo satisfies this need like nothing else.

If you want to talk turbo's contact JUSTNLX Tony B. I believe he runs a twin Icon turbo set up on his car... Frank

Ahhh TURBOS

Yeah Frank is right. I have the Incon Twin Turbo setup on my 91 LX.

The kit is not a bolt on. You have to do some cutting and welding for clearance. Incon says you can install with engine still in the car. I pulled it. It wasn’t difficult just takes some time

It is a lot of fun! Boost is right there. No noticeable lag and it is at full boost @2500-2800 rpm
Do that with a Supercharger. Turbos take a little getting use to. The first month I had her running it was foggy and the street was wet. She broke traction, came up on boost, and spun me out. I learned how to use the throttle real quick after that day. And this one I really did not believe. Turbos will also help gas mileage. As long as you are just cruising. My LX has done the best of 27mpg @ 70mph, but the worst of 7mpg

There really is nothing like a turbo, well maybe N20. A kit is the only way to go. There are several kits out there, but Incon is the only one emissions legal in Calif. (that I know of) With a kit, they have worked out all the bugs for you. Yeah you will have some of your own, but for the most part kits work.

The reason to use twin turbos, that is two turbos, is turbo lag. Turbo lag is the time it takes to spin-up the turbos to full boost. Two smaller turbos take less time to spin-up than one large turbo.

Unless you know what you’re doing, I would not attempt to piece together a turbo set-up your self.

Tony B.

i hate turbo lag. My eclipse didnt reach full boost(21psi on the street) until 5200rpm, but when it did there was nothing that could touch it. If i used nos to spool my turbo quicker i am confident that car could have hit low 10s, but it didnt. With turbo's come other problems that could happen, like boost creep, and lots of potentially damaging things.

AJ,

Just starting an engine up there is potentially damaging things. And like any power adder the same thing is true.

Built right there is nothing like a turbo car
