turbo, FPR, and gauge all came today. Fuel pump and injectors should be here in about a week. test tube & intercooler should be here in two weeks if the bid goes through. piping kit, bov/waste gate should be here second week in december. we'll start tinkering with the stang and plan out the pipe routing up till christmas. just after christmas the actual build should be under way and if all goes well he should be able to test drive it 2-3rd week in january. but this schedule is very tenative since he's going as cheap as possible and so far is finding killer freakin deals on all this crap. so there might be a few delays.
also he might buy my intake since he he doesnt wanna buy a new or used one and he knows mine is all nicely ported and he really likes it.so if he comes up with some cash i might sell it to him once i start my new build.

my turbos are 57mm. 65mm seems pretty small for a single turbo setup. i wouldnt go smaller then 70mm personally but since your buddy isnt looking for crazy high hp he should be fine. expect the turbo to spool really fast because of its small size. if he has h/c/i you guys should hit 400rwhp easily even with that little turbo just make sure the tune is good
i think its funny you guys thing 65mm is huge. you should see some of the guys on turbomustangs.com they run 101mm turbos in some cases. now thats f*cking huge

the guy at our local speedshop recently jumped up from a 80somethin mm turbo to a 101mm turbo. yea no kidding those things are big. he runs in the 5's in the 1/8th mile.
my buddy doesnt have an HCI, although he may buy my intake....we'll see. he just wants somethin fun and he's never had a turbo car. he's done nitrous/novi/procharger before so he want ssomething new and fairly inexpensive.
so far he has exaust, shifter, alum. drive shaft, electric fan, and 5 lug conversion /w 99 cobra wheels. and the total bill is up to 300 bucks. so far on this turbo build he's up to 500 bucks. he wants to try and get it all for under 1k which he'll be close if some of these ebay bids go through.

I don't post alot so thanks 5pointohh(Kyle) for generating interest in this. Here's the specs on the car. 89 lx hatch, the motor will be stock minus parts of the fuel system and obivous stuff needed for a turbo setup. The car has 170,000 miles on it and runs great. The t5 has about 70,000 on it. The rearend will be stock with 3.08 gears. The turbo is a gt45 (made in china) that I bought off of ebay. They advertised it as a 60mm. You can google it to get the specs. The fuel system will consist of a 255lph in tank and 42Lbs injectors (will be tuned). The car has a set of JBA shorties that I am going to turn around and build the hot side for.(any suggestions on pipe size? 2 1/2 or 3) I am going to run a 3" down pipe and y into the h-pipe. As far as the cold side I am watching a intercooler now on ebay and still have to figure out what size pipe on that also. The blow off and wastgate are still a mystery as I need to do alittle more research. I'm looking for 370ish to the wheels. I'm sure this combo could make more but I'm not looking to blow it up. That may happen anyway.
As far as a timeline don't get too excited to see it done soon. I am shooting for late winter/early spring. I am very budget focused. With the crap economy any our second child due in 2 weeks I may have to scrap the project at anytime(sorry I'm a reallist).
Thanks to everyone for the interest.
Here are some pictures.
Here's the car the day I bought it.
