Turbo?

[Five0GT]

Anyone know anything about turbos? I have a 2015 GT. My friend told me any turbo can fit on pretty much any car if you make it fit. I don’t know much about them. Can the EcoBoost turbo be usednon a GT? And would it be worth it?

Unless your fabbing the plumbing yourself and tuning it, your better off going with a kit that's set up for the GT. Yes, you could use an Ecoboost turbo, hell you could use one from a diesel or a Subaru too. It's all about the volume, setup and boost that you engine can safely use before blowing head gaskets or the bottom end out of the engine.

Turbonetics, for example, has a matrix of its popular turbo categorized by engine size and horsepower based on years of trial and error. The entire grid is too large to print here but you can access the knowledge with a simple email or call to the tech line. Just be sure to know all the details about your car and your plans for its use.

Is your friend big in the Honda scene?... Yes you can make any turbo physically fit, but it needs to be sized proper to the engine. Ecoboost turbos are too small and will run out of steam/overheat. They would however spool nearly instant on the 5.0. On the other hand a giant diesel turbo would take forever to spool and make small boost as it's too big.

Best to go with one of the pre-made kits for our cars.

To name a few...

LPF
Armageddon

For sure! Since an eco boost is 4 cyl, buy 2 eco boost turbo kits and bolt it up to your v8! Then you have twins turbos and all the boost!!! Since it's all American made you can run 91 too since American cars are built to run on crap gas!!

Just look at the pre-made kits. Unless you know how to fabricate i would suggest against it.

I just purchased a LPF twin kit for my 2018 3 weeks ago.
