I finally convinced my buddy into turbocharging his Mustang, so here I am

Few questions.. Fuel management, should I bother trying to get him something good or just stick with an FMU for a while? I'm thinking FMU since he'll be running low boost for a while.

What size turbo do you think would be good? IHI RHB5 for now?

Anything you guys can suggest, I'd like to hear it

 

how many cylinders is his mustang?

 

Oh, drr 4 banger.

 

 

Thanks for the response.. It's a four cylinder, oh my goodness, it's not like 95% of the people on here have four cylinders or anything

I've just been doing some looking around and noticed there were 3 cars Ford made that were turbocharged with the parts that are interchangeable, and bolt-on for my buddies car. I'm thinking we'll go that route, if we can. Anyone else have an actual opinion?

 

i am pretty sure that you can use the stuff off of the other ford cars. but i would just swap over the entire motor it will allow you to run more boost. there is a write up on doing the swaps into a ranger on therangerstation.com

 

4 cylinder , low horsepower, low torque motor in a heavy RWD car=dog turd slow.

As always, I would stay away from the teeny tiny IHI turbos. I'm sure that motor is bigger than the average Honda 4 cylinder so I'm sure it can spool a fairly good sized turbo. I say .48/.60 T3 minimum. Run 6-8psi and call it a day.

List some more information about the car, motor size, tranny, miles....

Holy crap...

 

Check out turboford.org too, some of the people are a little snotty there but theres plenty of info there. Also even the n/a motors can take quite a bit so dont be afraid to crank up the boost. One guy, i think he's bhuff30 or something like that over on turboford, was running 15psi on a stock motor and never had any problems.....until he popped a hose of the fpr. And anyways what year is the car? is it mass air or speed density?
