OK, picked up a '90 5.0HO and am gettin ready to do a quick build before i throw it in my "special project". Here is the plans, the stuff with a * by it is just stuff i have laying around so i figure i might as well put it to use... stuff witha-, is stuff that is more or less free or just really cheap...


*MSD 6-BTM*
*T-70 turbo*
*A/W intercooler*
*40mm wastegate*
*BOV*
-custom single turbo headers-
-3" downpipe to dual 2.5"-
-port match heads/intake-
-ditching A/C-
-removing emissions-
40lb injectors
75mm throttle body
HEI distributor
MSD TFI coil
underdrive pulleys
FR 9mm wires
What should i do for a MAF? same size as the T.B.?

bump?

Sounds like a fun project, go for it. A bigger MAF than you throttle body would be better.

sLoWnStEaDy

Ok, bigger MAF than T.B.

Anything else? I was really hoping for some input/direction...
The dead silence mean i have it pretty much covered?

sLoWnStEaDy

OK...

yea its seems like a pretty good setup... i hope u know a lot about turbos to setup your own system like that... as for maf and tb... how much hp u planning on??? im planning on 450-500 and im getting a 75mm tb with a 80mmm pro-m maf

Opinions may vary but are you sure you want 450-500 hp on a stock block?

I was told by a guy last night...who made the cover of 5.0 Mustang Magazine by the way...that your MAF should be the smallest component on your intake...i.e. TB, EGR, Intake Manifold...

I have a 75mm Intake, to a 75mm EGR, to a 70TB, to a 76MAF. He said it works...but I should have went withthe 67mm MAF.

I tell you,he knows his Sh*t!

REALLY? i have been getting told the opposite by all the people i have talked to...

Also forgot to put on th list I will be using a girdle to help the block situation... Then "car" (bought a complete car minus body, will be selling a lot of it) will be here tomarow around 6pm or so. Coming from Moorhead, IA

sorry i dunno who this guy is and im not say he doesnt know more than me about cars but i know physics i had a teach that had us work our a$$es off.... and physics says his full of it... what u want is the same thru out... no differences at all... this is however hard to do so you second best beat is to full it in per say... like if u pour to much milk into a cup and u wanna put some bak and full is the quickes way to get in bak in there... so u want a larger maf and slowly get smaller as u go bak... now they set down should be very gradual nothing major.... but like i said its better to have a perfectly symtrecly path all the way thru... so id u can pull of a 75mm all the way thru its you best beat... it wont be perfect tho thats why a funnel setup is more realistic.....

i would like to here this fellows reasoning on a smaller maf... i could be missing something... i wouldnt beat money on it tho... im pretty sure logic and physics are both on my side
