Turbo install

[98$vt]

I'm hardly ever on here anymore. Since last while I've been on an itch to do stuff with my 98. I did a Mach 1 motor, t56 +mgw shifter, IRS out of a 99 cobra with a built diff aluminum driveshaft and 4.10 gear ratio, bbs rk wheels and toyo 315 rear tires. It's slowly getting to where I wanted it and I got another itch. It ran a 12.90 with an exhaust.

So I'm doing a single turbo kit I picked up from a friend minus the turbo, wastegate, blow off valve, boost controller, injectors, maf, fuel pump. Luckily I work at a performance shop and we have everything laying around minus the maf and injectors. Since I have a tuner in house also it helps. I'm using tial bov, tial wastegate, precision ball bearing turbo, probably ford injectors, walbro pump, some other stuff here and there. Not sure about a maf yet.

Anyway, here's how the car sits currently. Here's also what I've picked up so far.

And these too. Plus some gauges I have laying around.

Sweet! In for updates on this one. What power goals are you going for?

Sick man is the motor forged

If not you could hit 450-500 all day no problem

I would get an hpx-e slot maf. There is no better option

Depending on the power goals I would maybe look more into the standard HPX, just from an increased low end resolution. Makes for tuning drivability a little easier, not that the extended can't be tuned well either just may not need the additional head room. Either way hpx or hpx-e would be the route to go!

That looks like an interesting mixture between an early On3 kit and a Hellion kit.

I'm sure you know this but you're going to want to swap out that 4.10.

Which Precision turbo did you go with?

I only wanna run like 8lbs so I don't pop the motor off the bat.

Forged crank. Just a stock Mach 1 engine. I don't wanna make over 500whp. Yet.

I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah it's hellion hotside and I'm not 100% on everything else, can't complain for the price tho and it was never used. Just used as mock up stuff. And in regards to the 4.10s... I'm gonna give it a shot for a little bit however when I build my IRS stronger I'll probably lower the ratio.

It's a 62/66 ball bearing.

Definitely interested to see this finished! Nice build on the car so far.

I went full retard. Stopped the turbo stuff and bought a vortech s trim last week.
