Budget 2018 twin turbo GT build--Under $5k including fuel upgrades

[gimmie11s]

Consider the aerospace drag brakes with dual calipers .
In my Hellion car wirh stock rear brakes I was only able to build 3 psi off the foot brake with the 2 step set at 3300.
With the double calipers I could hold the car with the brakes and 2 step set at 4000 rpm , building 6-7 psi .
I was sure it was going to do wonders for my 60 ft (previous best of high 1.4xx’s) .... but as you know damn car broke

If i could get 3 psi out of it i'd be stoked. I am able to get 2 psi in my driveway holding the e brake handle, so fingers crossed for 3 psi at a the track where it's sticky.

A 1.4xx 60 foot would put me deep into the 9s LOL. I could only wish for that short time. Our local track prep is garbage.

Actually not bad considering all the rain prior. I was expecting many folks to meet the wall. Luckily it didnt happen.

You bought a Mustang eh? Turncoat!!

No real plans to drag this one....still chasing better numbers with the G8. Needs some trans tuning and I need to order and install a line lock. I'm pretty sure the Baer 6 piston rears are hurting be in the burn out box and not allowing me to get MT's hot enough. I will be out soon enough but tomorrow is my son's 10th birthday so we have plans.


We all kind of know what that mustang will run and I don't have any plans to mod it for a while would like to get oput and run my friends 18 vette before he goes crazy just for fun...shoot I even bought an extended warranty for the first time in my life

Those are great turbos but pricey. What are your thoughts on the oiling system?

Separate vented tank with clean oil. Dual tilton pump setup with check valve .

Are you running restrictors in the oil feed lines?

So would this kit bolt right up to a 2015 GT MT82? As in no fabrication required at all? (Minus the exhaust)

That's my understanding except your going to have to fab your own oiling and return system, Boost control system and any electric wiring. Its not a totally plug and play. The big parts are there but you have to provide the small stuff. For sure not for the faint of heart and will require wrenching and some creative skills.

Yes sir. They came with the turbos.

Correct. You’d need to make your own oiling system like I did or run oil-less turbos.

Biggest part for me by far was reworking the hot side to make it fit the auto. You wouldn’t have to deal with that.

Do you know what size they are?

6r80 car will require similar mods as mine. The kit was designed around an MT82 car. Direct bolt on for MT82 cars, but not autos unfortunately. I have 0 exhaust leaks. The on3 kit on my 2014 Mustang had exhaust leaks for days that were a PITA to correct. I have found the CXR craftsmanship to be fine and acceptable. It is not show worthy like a FatFab or Armageddon kit, obviously.

Ground clearance is better than a Hellion top mount. There are no low-hanging pipes. Go through the thread.. i believe i have some pics of the low points.



+1.

You could also use the hairspray trick on the beads.... Ive had good luck with that in the past.

I had the same issue of spinning the tire on the rim, and I have heard hairspray works. I was skeptical so I used Permatex High Tack Gasket Sealant and that has worked really well for me.

Ah darn. I was hoping it would be essentially a bolt on kit after buying what was missing from the kit. I don’t really have the time nor experience to fabricate anything for an install unfortunately.

small? kidding.. .. sorry i sure dont.

ive also used high tack on my GT500 and it worked great.

Use oil-less turbos and it's bolt on. They are pricey though.
