ok so here it is im about to buy a revhard kit for my teg buttt...my moms bf said he can build me a turbo mustang that will run 9s. all i have to give him is 3500 and he'll pay the rest. we'll both own half the car. ill drive it he'll tune it. i kno what you are all thinkin that sounds way too cheap but hes got all the spare heads, turbo, manifold etc in his shop so it wont cost all that much. he has all this sh*t cuz he used to work on jim heafners pro 5.0 and grebeks pro 5.0 soo back to my story i duno what to do should i turbo the teg or the stang ahhhh im soo confused your opinions will greatly help me out thanx!!!!

 

One question: Is your mom's bf a pretty stand up guy? If he is, I'd go for the Stang.

 

5.0 turbo just check out my friends chad klodner he built a custom setup pt88 precision turbo and everyhing with speed pro made 1100hp on race gas. Its street driven.. It will never out handle a integra but damn its fun to go straight or sideways most of the times...

 

there is a bunch of videos of that yellow turbo mustang running 8's consistantly going around the net.

streetable and fast... was a auto too.

 

What year will the Mustang be? I see alot of Mustangs around my city with body kits like the Saleen, Boss, Steeda, Roush, just to name a few, and they look nice. Only thing I see bad would be the handling and comfort compared to an Integra.

 

Most of those cars are autos....only way to be consistent each and every time. Too bad Honda auto trannys suck or I'd have one with a manual valve body and slapstick

Also...turbo Mustangs are pretty simple. Get a pair of T3's and some shorty headers. Turn the headers so they point towards the front of the car and you have instant turbo manifolds.

If you want power and speed, go with the mustang.

 

When i first say the topic title, I said mustang to myself before the post even finished loading, however...

Even if ur Ma's bf is a "stand up" guy, I wouldnt get into it. How many business partnerships fail? Even if the partners have been best friends all thier lives? Dont get urself into a situation that could potentially turn ugly. Just my .02

 

The last turbo Mustang my friend built we took it to the track and we broke the engine in half, the only thin holding it togeher was the oil pan and the intake manifold. Be sure you get a girdle for it. Contact Probe Racing if you are even thinking about a Mustang, they kick ***.

 

I agree. You might end up messing up your moms relationship. And anyway, gas mileage will kill.

 

naw hes a good guy ive known him for a long time even b4 he started datin my mom and now theve been together for like 2 years so i trust him and hes always said hed build me a car but now that im bout to throw 3 gs away in my car he told be he could and will built a faster car for cheaper the thing is he has a garage with like mad built motors sittin in it and hes goina sell em all so we can get this project rolling if i decide to weve already got the car and most of the parts but basically the money is to show that im not gettin a free ride and its part my car 2 i still duno what to do **** the turbo is lookin soo nice just sittin there id throw it on my car not but its toooo daaaaamn BIIIIG!!! its like a t74 maybe a lil bigger but ya im still verry undecided cuz ive been savin for my car for soo damn long thanx for the replies

 

its like a 92 or 93 lx trunk and right now its stick i think but were goina throw a powerglide in it so itll be auto for consistency and ive been told its faster im still goina drive the teg round town but it just wont have a turbo

 

like mad props homie

Unless your're going for TONS of power a big T04E will you fine on a single turbo Mustang. I'd go with twin T3's though if the money is there.

 

but were buildin the car for the renigade class so i can only run one form of additonal power ie. single turbo, supercharger, or spray i was readin that 2 turbos is not aloud

 

You cant run superchargers in Renegade class. My buddy chip haveman was the Renegade champion for 2yrs in the Renegade class. His teamate Mike Murillo runs the outlaw class with the turbo. I think turbo is only allowed in Pro 5.0 and outlaw, but the rules might have changed since last year. do you want to see some pics of Dan millen, Steve Grebek(RIP), & doug mangrum's car? I have several I can post.

i was just reading the class specs in a pro 5.0 mustang they said " heads up pro tree class for 9-10 sec fuel injected small-block ford powered vehicles with a single power adder" oops i guess i was readin another one where it said bout the twin turbo thing but is says nothing about not being able to use superchargers or turbo ahh i found it it saysd in pro street outlaw that "single power adders permitted( nitrous oxide, supercharger, and turbo) twin turbochargers prohibited" ya just post pics of gribek since my moms bf used to work on his car hell like the pics

 

If you do the math, you will soon realize that only 1/2 of a 9sec car is the same thing as owning a full 18 sec car... aren't 1977 CVCC 18 sec cars?

 

I'd build a turbo Mustang in a second , and run NMRA, for sure. Tell him to elaborate a little on his plan, and then post i'd like to see what all he has in mind.

 

will do

 

Dan Millen:




Hello, Im a turbo


Steve's car

 

thoes pics are makin me want to get the stang

 

stangs look cool dropped with a saleen kit on it... and you can turn up the heat on those cars alot easier than imports. however, im an integ kinda of guy... i rather roll in a 13-14sec integ than a quicker stang with less reliability.

the body is goin to stay stock without any heavy *** bodykits the car is only goina b a track car and once and a while ill race it on the street to *** with kids who think their **** is badass

 

Mustangs are just as reliable as any other car. It depends on the owner.
