BigPimpin91 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Turbo Applications require a rather decent amount of work to function properly. This involves looking at turbo maps, changing cams, timing, compression ratio and fuel octane. Not to mention the fab work. Look around for a Turbo Kit for your mustang, this should help slightly with the Fab work. Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith77 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Its a lot of work plus a lot of money to do it right. Check this link out http://ststurbo.com/ Quote Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

FeArZ Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Just get a quality bolt on kit if you can find one although it would probably be cheaper if you could piece together a kit.. Keep in mind you will only be able to run really low boost on the stock block and very lightly modded fuel system(just a walbro and some new injectors). Also if no one has done a turbo V-6 before get ready to spend some $$$$ on the cheap side. Could end up $$$$$ when your done.

optical Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 If i were you i would just swap for a v8 and start there. Depending on your goals and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith77 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh and i see you have a 2000 year I'm assuming that you have over a 100k in mileage. Not a good idea to put a turbo on a worn out motor. You would want to rebuild the motor on top of the turbo. Quote Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston.

sully Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Did you want a front mount or rear mount turbo, check the compression ratio on your engine cause to be able to run more than a small boost (5-7psi) you will need lower compression. Ideally you would have about 8.5:1 and throw a good crank and some forged rods/pistons and you could throw down 15-20psi at it and have a fun streetable ride.

Ditch the v6, get the s/c 4.6l v8 out of an 03-04 cobra svt and call it a day i dont think it would be reliable on a motor that isnt fresh, and also built and tuned by a person who doesnt know what they are doing. bigger injectors work on stock ecus all the time, but the fuel map would not work at all for a turbo car. the cobra motor would work well, but there are cheaper ways to get that kind of power. i dont mean to sound like a dick, but this really is one of those things where if you have to ask, you havn't read into it enough. you should look at some mustang forums, i bet someone has already done what you are wanting. they most likely have written a how-to thread as well.
