what are your comments for running a 5.0 on boost


twin or single? benefits, pro-cons, advantages and disadvantages of them etc...

[yojoe600]

where do u want your power?

[EscortSportage]

im looking more into not as much top end power, but more into quick spools, 400 to 800hp range depends im like the way 650hp sounds...i just gotta figure out alot of things, id rather have 550hp with amazing throttle response and low lag, then 700hp with horrible response and lots of lag

[yojoe600]

well def go twins then

[blakehunter316]

i think you need to set down and like think a little more before u give ur numbers 400-800? thats like streetable and sweet CAR. to a wicked only get out on super nice days when u feel like u have a huge pair of nuts car. just an idea

[EscortSportage]

yea id rather have a badass street car but i want to road race and autocross, as well as drag and street race...so im thinking like 650hp give or take... quick spools power up to 7000rpm

[Stealthy]

I want twins on low boost too. But everyone keeps saying that the stock block won't handle it. Good luck man.

stock block - single

aftermarket block - single

call an engine builder. tell them everything you want to do blah blah. with all the things you just told us you want theres no way your gonna get solid answer from any of us.
you want 400-800HP then 650 sounds good. you want road race, street, and drag strip. you want top end power but quick spools.

i recommend theturboforums.com

sit and read my friend.

are you absolutely set on a turbo? You can accomplish everything you want on motor... the most important thing to figure out is E.T. goals... even if its a street car...then go from there... you wouldnt want a dyno queen...

[flyin ryan]

twin is a waste, you can make just as much power with a single setup and a stock block won't handle much past 450

[78mach1]

go to theturbofourms.com and read read read, there are people doing jy turbo kits for under 2k and making big numbers.

read read read.

the A/R size is going to justify where your car will spool. im going to be turboing my black 88 soon and im going with a holset h1c.

my advice to you is to read as much as you can

Ford Mustang Turbo Size Guide - Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Magazine

that artical will help you with anything you need to know.

[EscortSportage]

what im trying to get at is...around the street ill run 5psi and just cruise with like 350hp or more just chillen then when i go to the strip boost it up to 15psi or more, im deffently set on turbo,(its the best power adder know to man) its more efficient and makes more power with less boost than supercharged, superchargers are parasites and better for quick and easy power, they are kool but im all about turbo hands down, and not to many people are running turbo foxes, (its different and more rare) sounds NASTY tooo! im going to be running megasquirt2 stand alone system (i think) and i can have pre-set tunes one for the street one for drag strip, one for road race, even for different weather and temps.It also depends on what kind of fuel im running, Lets say im cruising on the streets and then i hop on the high way and some evo or STi pulls up next to me...laptop is getting opened and my 5.0 is gonna go from a sick street car to a beast in seconds... ive been reading alot about turbo set ups and the physics of boost and turbo, i want to fully build my motor than once i got everything planned out turbo it... i

with the way your talking you are going to need alot of funds, what set up do you have in mind?


what engine?.....what fuel system?......what turbo?.....you fabing up your own system?......suspension?.....stock t-5?

those are things that will be a big factor.

Twin or single has nothing to do with how it spools and how much power it makes..

It all depends on how big the a/r / trim you are looking at.

But... one cool thing about d.i.y. twins is that two smaller, less efficient turbos can make just as much power as an expensive aftermarket single..

Perhaps twin hx35/h1c's
