Junkyard/DIY Performance

RE: Junkyard performance
you can also use the starter from a 95' 5.0 on the 87-93
mustangs the starter is real small and comes in
handy if you have longtube headers.

Equal lengths might not fit correctly with the spark plugs when put upside down like that. Also, with twin turbos it's not really horrible to have unequal length shorties. In fact, my friend ran in the 11's with the Mustang I bought fairly recently and it has unequal length shorties...

When doing a twin turbo setup how is the exhaust run after the turbo's and intercooler are installed. Does anyone have a picture. I mean is the h-pipe still useable?

Ok, wait, you're telling me that there is a way to 'build' a twin turbo set-up using thunderbird turbo coupe parts?! If this is correct. I need more info. Because, I would love to start doing some mods like that to my basically stock stang but wouldn't even know where to begin. I mean, I know how it works but don't you have to have a custom made header that is specifically designed for that kind of a bolt on? And what about the intake? And who makes these parts... I think you're getting way to over the top with this being a 'junkyard' parts pull.

I don't know how much help this would be but this guy on here made his own TT setup with a set of turbos he bought from a junkyard for 60 bucks or whatever. I doesn't explain it that much but you could probably get ahold of him or atleast look at how he did it from the pictures.

if you go down some he also has a short video, its in red.

Hey, that's a great little site for that set-up! His welds need some work but hey, pretty don't mean fast. The fastest cars at the track are 19 different shades of primer. Now, along this article that you've found, what is the likleyhood that you could find 2 different turbos with the same boost, but facing different directions so it would look store or factory bought. That would be nice. I like what I am seeing with this junkyard thread. I have been on the lookout for some gt40 heads and a better intake everyday. Not too much of a choice here. But, nonetheless, alot of tips are coming in handy of of this site.

To synchronize the wastegates you test the actuators with a vacuum/pressure hand pump. Hook up the pump to the actuator & make sure they both open to full open at the same pressure. Then make sure they both get the boost signal from the same vacuum line. Some people do trial & error runs which take quite a while & aren't accurate.
Those pages tell you everything you need to know to get the project done.
