Hey Im thinking of putting turbo in my 5.0 engine. Is it good to put turbo on my 5.0 engine? I want to know If I put it if it will harm my engine.
http://www.turbomustangs.com :D
research before you even think about it
I did research I wanted to get a second opnion if u got nuttin informative to say then shut it
:evilgrin:
get off my dick, you apparantly didnt research because you came here asking a very uneducated question, showing that you did no research, because there is no knowledge in your question
there is no quick answer, there is no easy way, do your homework, just asking us stupid questions is wasting our time, and your time
Are you wanting one big turbo or two smaller turbos?
With two smaller one you could use the chrysler turbos on the factory headers.
You take the headers swap them side to side. Then flip them upside down. Now you have a good starteing points. The reason I say use the chrysler turbos is becasuse they have the same ball and socket that you headers have. Plus the boost comes on low and runs out at about 4500rpm and won't make alot of boost.
Now you need to find a way to cool the intake temp. You have two way to do this that I know of
1: intercooler
2: alcohol & water injection
Then you need to find a way to run the exhaust and intake to throught the engine bay.
Thats all I know.
actually, the chrysler turbos use their own s, and generally arnt the best choice, because you either have to source or make your own s, and they use their own swingvalves, they can be changed, but it still costs you money finding one for T3's
I ave been thinking about the swap for awile and this was the info that I had found so far. When I was looking in the garage I found a head intake and turbo from a Omni GLH sitting there and just eye balled it and it looked close. So I was going to see how much work was involve in it. Now the only problem for me is to actual get off my ass and try my ideas. I think there is someone out there that makes an exhaust log for the 5.0 to use a square turbo not sure. I haven't looked at the link that cougarman posted yet.
turbomustangs.com is a forum for guys who build mostly V8 turbo stangs, some serious numbers out there
i actually have a bunch of parts from a turbo dodge, i dont have a turbo, but i have a manifold, and the isnt quite square, the bolts dont make a perfect rectangle, they did it that way so you could only run specific turbos on the cars, for some odd reason
ive been looking into this for a few years now, the thing limiting me is money
What's with all the hostility from the new people lately?
Well if you'd shower more than once or twice a year.. :p
***Smells armpit*** I'm not due for a shower for another 2 months! :D
Stfu u worthless shiznit u talk all this like ur a professional , If im asking a simpel question just help me man its plain and simple , why do u gotta be such an asshole. just a question on what I think I will be doing I aint looking for a fight u brat
Like I said hostility :disappoin
As far as whetether or not you will do damage, that depends on your setup and how much boost you are goona run. There is no clear cut answer because there are many diiferent ways turbo the 5.0. Single, twin, intercooled, non-intercooled......
The link listed below is a brief overview on turbocharging basics. It's a good place too start.
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm
just go over to turbomustangs.com. There is all the info that you could ever want there. All that you have to do is look around. There are some people there makeing some crazy power. Honestly I think you should have to pass a compancy test so we get less of these. I normally dont care. but some of us need to calm down alittle.
No, but apparently you want someone to spoon-feed you all the info. Reread your first post and you tell us if it sounds like you even took 2 minutes to look into this. So who is the "worthless shiznit"? the one who is too lazy to find out his own info on a subject that has abundant sources of info and wants someone to tell him the answers, or the one who called him out for being a lazy-ass? Hrmmmm...tough question. Maybe I should ask someone else so i don't have to think about it...
We will gladly help those who help themselves a bit first. They gave you a place to start the research...now go...educate yourself, then ask questions once you have a better idea of what you're even talking about.

No way! This is
much too entertaining.... :rollin:

1.) Shawn is a big boah... just how I like 'em! Don't use fightin' words on here, especially with him.
2.) Shawn has done more reasearch on various things than I even care to think about. Asking such a broad question, as others have stated, really shows that you haven't read. If you have researched then tell us what you've learned, maybe? It seems to me that any amount of reading would've told you that you can't just put one one" as you stated.
you, my friend, are a waste of flesh
i gave you advice, i said research, you get an attitude with me? im sorry that im not going to just tell you how to build you car, you need to get off your lazy ass, and maybe read something sometime, if your attention span will allow you to that is, because it sure seems that by your spelling, grammar, and lack of punctuation that you are better off trying to figure out which hole the square block goes into rather than building a car
i know how i want to build a turbo 5.0, i know how i want to build my car, and i am 100% capable of doing so, so where does that put you on the "worthelss shiznit" spectrum? ive done probably 1.5-2 years of research, talking with people, and staring at pictures LEARNING, not being spoon fed like our less fortunate, primate friends here
if you want to insult me, you want to talk trash, and you want to make yourself feel like you have a big dick, by telling off a 20 year old who actually knows his shiznit, and probably has YEARS of experience on your ass, have at it, because youre doing nothing but making yourself look like an idiot, i have a name for myself on this board, ive met many people here, so all youre doing is digging yourself a hole
do some research, learn something, then come back and try again in a few years, and bring some punctuation with you
And if you're asking how to do it because you wan't the sound... just get one of those things that sticks in the tailpipe and makes the whistling sound. Why waste all our time if you just want to play turbo and pretend. Whoooooosh!
Here you go Brian...this should help: Bubb Rubb (http://www.shelbygroup.com/media/wowo.wmv)
Woo WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That was brilliant. Showing themselves running a stop sign on camera.
There was really nothing wrong with this statement.
You then took this to a hostile level with the whole shut it thing.
I did enjoy eric's post with the whistler lers. Too funny man.
http://www.ststurbo.com This company is remotely placing the turbo in place where the ler would go. I saw them install one like this on a camaro on TV. I don't think they make one specifically for a mustang or t-bird but it might be worth looking into. If I was going to try a turbo I would look into this method a little bit to see if it's possible to adapt one of these systems to a t-bird.
wow so they do it like all the trucks have been for years. Really inivative.
I think he was looking for some thing like this. (http://www.sunamiturbo.com/)
That is so incredibly fruity, not even the chick pics can bring it back to heteroshaguality.
Holy .....talk about turbo lag... :giggle:
You could always think about this kinda setup
2800hp Quad turbo big block. (http://www.popularhotrodding.com/enginemasters/articles/chevrolet/bigblock/0305em_turbo_bb/)
hit refresh the pics change :tg:
:tg: Oh, I did.. :tg:
Originally my message said something like "spread-eagle chick pic".. 'cause that's the one I got first, the blonde in front of the car.. then I went back to the site and saw that a different pic was there, so I edited that out.
If they were naked I would have bought it. lol
actually, the turbo lag on those isnt very bad, because the turbos are built to the application
take a turbo coupe, move the stock turbo to the ler location, and youll get lag, but put a proper turbo back there, and you wont get much more than stock
that reminds me of a joke:
how many A-D-D kids does it take to change a light bulb?
how many?
you wanna go play baseball?
:rollin:
If he does in fact have a short attention span he may have forgotten he even posted here :giggle:
Found some more info on turbos that are easy to use for a TT setup on 5.0's
This was on the internet.

Note that most of them are for engines between 2 and 3 liters. These are the best size for a 5 liter because 2 of them would equal between 4 and 6 liters.
For questions about the Mistubishi turbos, Turbostangman will probably be able to answer them, because he has designed a kit with them and works with them in his business.
Most guys run Ford Knockoffs, notably the 69 trim models because they move more air in the upper RPMS, and don't run out of steam.
http://www.homemadeturbo.com That's where i come from, a long line of home brewed turbo projects !! some guy did a TT 5.0 setup on there he did a whole write up on it,
says this thing is fast as all get out ... how fast get out is....i don't know.. but my buddy rode in this mustang, and he said it was fast...
