Hi guys I'm putting together a single turbo budget friendly build. No it's not a build to limit time or lack of parts.
But more of a test of inexpensive parts and there effective ness on a well known engine. First off let start with the car.
I'm working with the 2012 Mustang GT CS Five O with a 6-speed getrag. Nothing fancy so far hard Parts being used will be SCT tuning. 84 / 75 on3 performance Turbo T4 flange. 3 inch exhaust to Turbo mild Steel with three part exhaust paint to extend exhaust lifespan. Wrap the exhaust the entire length to Turbo and a turbo blanket.
This weekend I finished up the exhaust to Turbo and hung the turbo. paint and wrap will be coming in this week to do the merge pipe
So far everything has been purchased for this car from Amazon on3 performance and Columbia River mandrel. The tuner was previously purchased from Racewiers
The following weeks I will be ordering the intercooler and the aluminum 3 inch tubing for the cold side my TIG welder should be here Wednesday then I can get started on the cold side. Order my piping probably in 2 weeks my intercooler is going to be air to water and it will be trunk-mounted with ice box and selector for heat exchanger for Street driven performance. Pictures to follow this week and price list that I have so far for materials invested bio means I've done the math and this still will still be somewhat expensive to build. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel this is just the type of kit that I prefer. For the money I'll have invested I probably could have bought a JPC kit or Hellion but I like to do it myself I always have. toI hope you guys enjoy this.
I'll get my pictures and price list together mid-to-late week I want to get the pipes painted and wrapped with installed pictures along with fabrication pictures I hope you guys enjoy this thread
Thanks
