thinking about a turbo ;)

[88foxbody]

I want to put a turbo in my 5.0, I don't want anything crazy, just something like 6-8 psi, will i need to change my internals?? And also my car has a holley 650 carb on it, will I need a special carb or can i just put the carb bonnet on top?

im pretty sure u will need a blow thru carb,or u could keep the stock and put secondary injectors,i know for mass air sensors u have to by a certain kind for boost goin thru it so im sure carbs would have same,it would be fine on 6spi but id suggest atleast head studs and new gaskets,,i was gonna do twin but that got real expensive real quick and now half of it sits,expect atleast a 3 grand project

Yeaaaa its really pricey, I've been researching, think I'm better off with heads, cams and stuff like that

Personally, I would go with the h/c/i first. Doing a turbo setup can be pretty expensive. For efi mustangs the cheapest I have seen is around 5 grand I believe. If its a 88 mustang, it has the forged pistons, so I wouldn't worry about changing your internals. How many miles are on the engine, you may want to see if it needs to get rebuilt first.

Brand new rebuilt 302 from jasper engines 8,000 miles on it

h/c/i isnt a cheap route either if you buy good shit. if you go cheap it could be cheaper. either way cheap=slow.

i vote save up then spend on good stuff.

Well I have a cam so I think I'm gonna Do heads, what kind of heads do u guys reccomend?

 

[88foxbody]

And I have an intake too

To a certain extent, but you can make good power on a budget too. Throwing $$ at a car doesn't make it fast, having the right parts working together does.

My friend ran 10.81@126.7 with a stock 93 bottom end, heads/cam/intake with a small Powerdyne in a 93 LX. Back at the time it was faster than ALOT of cars. Still had a stock T-5 too!
