Turbo Piping

Bowtie Bound?? ;)
Re: Turbo Piping
1. do not buy a Used/cheap turbo..chances are..the guys on here selling them...used them on 4 cylinder hondas (i should know) and they are only T3/T4's...that is no where near big enough to push your 302 even with the displacement lacking..hell..a lot of superchargers can push out more air than T3/T4's.
2. Fabrication is NOT the word for this project...Foxbody turbo kits go for about 3500 4000 dollars for a complete kit..and ive seen people wait months to get their kit..so imagine trying to find someone..do fab up your manifolds,downpipes,and IC piping.
3. Have you even bought a Rebuild kit,or any type of Forged internals at all?? if not..then enjoy watching your block split in half,or a rod coming through the side of your block.
4. If you are going to turbo your Fox...atleast Do some research..see how long it takes to fabricate a kit,what to tune it with,what kind of engine internals to use...this isnt a turbo honda setup..you cant just throw shit on it..and make power...

Re: Turbo Piping
^^^ Did you not see any of the links I posted? Sure you need a big investment for big power, but boosting a fox body isn't rocket science. You can get by with a homebrew kit and make good power. A monkey could slap a turbo kit on a decent 5.0 and get into 11's. If you add suspension, slicks and a driver you can dip into the 10's.

did u not see what i posted???
i told him not to throw some dinky T3/T4 turbo on his car..because thats all that people sell up here,because they come off of 4 cylinders...i never said a homemade turbo kit wont work,or wont make power..i said just dont throw any thing up there,and expect to make big numbers.

Re: Turbo Piping
So a turbo used on a 4 cylinder will not create enough power for you all mighty Five OHHHHHHH?
haha idiot?
5PSI on a Five OHHHHH will lend you around 250 to the ground. Enjoy wasteing your money, it would be cheaper to spray.
How in the world is a fucking rebuild kit going to stop the block from cracking in half?
Im guessing you'll have this all figured out on your lambskin paper in your mud hut though.
Once again, good luck, I cant wait.

I can see you are putting forth great information in your time online also.
