Ok so truth be told I'm a S/C & N/A type of engine builder and the only turbo engine I ever worked on was a Grand National 231ci v6 (I think its been over 10yr:yup
and I have been looking @ Turbo Kits for Ford Mustangs and was wondering if anyone has heard of em, some locals say they had a few Q A problems in the past (flange on exhaust side would crack) but the newer kits fixed it...
also this kit has...
1. an on3 70mm turbo(is this too big/small?), .70ar cold and .68 hot(don't know what this spec is), T-4 flanged (size of flange)
2. 38mm wastegate (2 big/small?) w/ 3.6,5.8 and 8.8psi springs (I want the 8.8 now and 12-20psi after forged engine build)(Is that possible w/ this turbo or wastegate ?)
3. 50mm blow-off valve (is this too big/small?)
4. it taps into the engine oil and returns it into the oil pan. (is taping the oil pan ok/problems???)
and we used to have to feed the turbo oil for a few min. after shutdown so the turbo could spool down and not cook the oil in the turbo. Is this still the case??? and do they make a self oiling like centi's n some roots s/c ??? And just a comment, but isn't the oil from an engine bad if something goes/blows up, and wouldn't this oil destroy the other if one or the other blows.
I know these r allot of questions, as I am trying to "study-up" on this topic. If any of my afm family can answer any of em please answer as I am trying to get as much info as possible on turbo's...(a good article or posts even 4 me 2 read)
