Thats what im talking about.

Hellion Power Systems.. It say 5k nearly 6k for Single Turbo Kit.. Hell freaking HP Twin turbo kit is on MPH for 6k or so might as well just buy that.

 

I am in the same delimma, i want to run a turbo instead of a blower but dont want to spend an arm and a leg and only want a single turbo.....

 

Yeah it's funny. Fox Body's have options for both but the round bodies have a hard time finding that kinda stuff. Anything about boost is gonna cost you an arm and a leg if you want a quality product. Like you can get a Powerdyne real cheap, and there not bad, don't get me wrong. But they don't have a rep. like Vortech, Procharger, or Paxton.

But for all those that want a Turbo don't jump into it like I did. Do some research. Upkeep on your car as well as tuning and things of that nature need to be watch more carefully and done more often. I was stupid. But I'm learnin everything that I can right now so not to F*ck anything up.

 

yea, i have been looking in to it. I have read over three books on turbos, superchargers and nitrous. I wanted to and still want to learn as much as i can about the three before they are even considered in my car. I want a turbo for my stang, even though their tempermental, as doing as much research as i did, it seems like the best option for my stang. The stangs gonna be my daily driver, but i want a daily driver with some *****, more then it does now.... Im currently looking for a fox body, one with just the body in decent condition. Im gonna make that a drag car. When i find one thats right, want to do a 347 stroker crate motor and a nasty shot of nitrous(200-250) since the compression on strokers is so low and the engine will be forged so it will be able to handle it....

 

Well just make sure when you do your stroker you get a good block and not a crappy Ford Block. I'm sorry I love Ford but they just don't get it, when it comes to building a strong block. What is with this 2 bolt main sh*t? If your gonna spray or boost hard, make sure to get a DART block.

 

they build a block to hold what they where gonna put ot it. infact its strong enought to hold nearly twice what was ever made stock. for most people a ford sportsman block will hold up just fine for a street aplication. and the 2bolt mains hold just fine its usualy the block splitting or the main webbing failing.

 

Hellion would definately be the best for you

 

If both are good designs the twin setup is more efficient because of better header design. The hotter the gas is when it reaches the turbo the more it will drive it. A single setup on a twin bank engine requires you to run a crossover pipe from one bank. With a crossover pipe, you'll lose some heat from the exhaust gasses so the air gets more dense. That causes a drop in efficiency.
If you're going to have a problem with a twin setup not producing enough pressure then you must have a pretty built engine. These setups can produce well over 100psi on an engine. I highly doubt you're going to be building an engine that can withstand that.

 

theres no reason to compare single to twins, they can be made to perform identically, want a single to spool fast? use a smaller turbine housing or a/r ratio

properly choose compressors and singles wont be any more efficent as twins

i mean really now


twin setups are no more efficient than singles, any pressure loss in the crossover pipe is meaningless b/c yo can account for it with turbine size and a/r ratio, how do you think remote mount turbos work with little lag

 

I hope you're joking. There are lots of things that play a role for both. The headers, the length of piping on both intake & exhaust, overall weights of moving pieces,

You may be partially right. On a single bank engine it's very difficult to get a twin setup to be more efficient than a single, but you can also keep everything in tight & not have to worry about making really sharp bends. A twin bank engine is another story. To get the most efficient design you have to use the least amount of bends possible & keep the header primaries as short as possible.
They use an exhaust housing on the turbo designed to work with a lower exhaust gas volume & that is also their main downfall. Because of the design change they aren't as efficient as front mount setups. They lag more than front setups too.
