Turbo....ing my 3.0? Any ideas?
 

I want to do the turbo in it but dont know if i can or how much its going to set me back. I like the idea of a turbo but dont even know if thats possible .... any suggestions???


Thanks everyone

You could get a Whipple off of someone, I think one guy just sold his for like 2 grand. Or you could just do a custom set-up but I no nothing about that.

not worth it man,, better of droping another engine like stocker in with a turbo on it,, that way u just got to do mounts and fit engine,, and its cheap as dirt if not free to find turbo engine, my buddy just got old turbo`d V6 out of a mazda mazda or something for his samaur-HI, thats his name for it hahaha.. but again kits cost too much find used engine and drop it in,, plenty of turbo V6`s out there

well you could skip all that and do a rear mounted turbo system. All you'd have to do it get a turbo, the piping, oil cooler lines, accesories, and then a tune.

any turbo kit will take either:

A ton of money

or

A ton of time

its up to you to decide what you have most of.

by the time everything it done dude you probly could've bought 2 whipple charger kits for your truck. Just remember you gotta get a turbo,have someone make custom headers and exhaust,upgrade your fuel system and so on. Not worth it unless you fab yourself and can weld good:raincloud

talk to stage 6 on phillips highway. They are the ones who created Joe TT ford gt. THey done tons of custom turbo work.

Also, follow nickster's project thread on here. he has started a turbo build i believe.

The two biggest costs regardless would be the turbo itself and the tuning for it.

I would read a lot over on theturboforums.com before I spent anything.

You could flip the stock exhaust manifolds around . . . the bolt pattern would work not sure if the spacing is the same.

I didnt evn think about Stage 6 Ive been in there once with a buddy but didnt think they did much in the line of trucks. Ill stop by and see tho. And anyone done one of the STS Turbo Kits the universal one...?

I guess im not goin to turbo... its quite pricey maybe just an intake and a throttle body space and maybe a tune

what did you think it cost? like $500? a decent kit would probably run you $4k at least.
