Im looking at getting a turbo on my A/T tc. which has 71k. Too late?

I've read the majority of the turbocharging your A/t thread, and i know that i won't be up over or near 250hp by any means.

 

Why wont you be over 250whp? You easily can be, just take all the precautions mentioned in the thread. As far as the engine, i would do a compression test to make sure everything is working well.

 

Noted, which is Easy since i have a compression Tester.

Its the Cost issue. Still being in college i Have to take time to pay for things, hence why i have waited 70k miles for a turbo....

I'm pretty confident the engine is strong enough, tranny was my main concern...

 

Run Synthetic trans fluid, valve body, trans cooler, and dont stall your car out too much. My main concern would be your converter and your valve body. Turboing an automatic correctly takes a lot of money. trust me

 

Decisions decisions....

TRanny cooler is nothing, tranny fluid change not too much either...but a valve body...

 

Ehh just do what I do and run as much boost as possible and try to blow it up. Mine seems to stay together no matter what I throw at it.

 

i likez dem turbozzz

 

Do it.

 

what about boost at 104k?

im getting a hell of a deal on a ZPI kit and idk if i should just take the plunge and get it. im considering getting elevationtc's head taht has 50k on it

 

The other day i drove a N/a tc.. I forgot how pathetic it was.. My f150 with the pos mustang motor is faster!

Shoot even my girls tc is boosted LMAO

 

Also if you bought my head i was throwing in head studs and new waterpump!

Cant beat that!

 

exactly! if i dont do the turbo im jus gonna pnp the head. and see wat else i can do.


when are u picking up chins??? maybe i can steal the sway bars before u do

 

how difficult is a head install??

 

LoL. probably friday.. I was going to pay a shipping company.. but im starting to get worried.. I dont want the car taken apart and not put back properly or things missing and not replaced..

Im buying the car because the motor was blown.. not because its all effed up!

So i may fly up and meet the shipping company there..

...


As far as the head goes. It can easly be done on a sunday!

 

motors shot on the thing, but besides that everything is still golden. he hasnt even touched it its still sitting in front of his house haha. are you giving him the parts back?? cause i really want those sway bars on his car lmao

bro when u fly out here LMK i live literally around the block from chin.

 

Thats what I thought too. It doesnt like 18 psi though haha. I think if i had a converter it would have held together.

 

O Yea, i herd about the motor lmao..

Its up in the air.. My girlfriend was going to buy the car straight up. But she wants to build our credit up. So we switched banks and she took a loan now.. friday they will have our money transfered then we can apply! So ill let you know when i come up, if i do! He seems like a straight up dude.. And yes im taking everytihng off and returning it.. Id rather it this way so i can ensure everything is proper!

 

well if u do get it awesome! if not its all good. I just want those sway bars off his ____ lmfaoo

he's a cool guy. he's honest. but for 3k its an insane price! lmk wats up if u do come out here. still considering the head! Im jus worried bout the price for my clutch install and this head

 

Your not trying hard enough!

 

im comeing with elevation.... body guard...
