your engine bay is so big... i could live in it.

those are the biggest RHB5s i think... a little bigger than yours johnny

Re: Pics of mustang 5.0 TT setup on engine stand
 

The IHI t-snails actually aren't that small. Are they a man. or auto snail? That'll determine the size. It think the auto's are 48/60's and the man. are 60/63. Pretty much the exact same size as the Garrett unit but the IHI units are not really wanted that much.

i must be thinking of different rhb5's ???
the ones i know of are tiny turbo's

Re: Pics of mustang 5.0 TT setup on engine stand
 

yeah there are a few different trims of the RHB5, from little dick pea shooter scooby RHB5 to the bigger Thunderchicken ones like hes got. I think they are closest to a 60/48 or 60/63 t3 turbo like stillnoturbo says. The flange is a T3 flange on it, and they can be had in good condition for real cheap. There are a few non Garrett/AiResearch Turbos that have T3 flanges, i think the KKK K03 turbo does too

The two bovs were a recommendation from HP. They are small cheap ones so it is not bad. It sounds pretty cool when they release in stereo. But actually it kind of kills the stealth thing so I may eventually run them back into the intakes.

I think these IHIs are reasonably sized for a 5.0-they are off 2.3 L 4 cyls (for the IHIs, they used the same size on manual and auto trans birds). These IHIs have been used on 5.0 by others with pretty good results. They are on the smallish side but on the other hand they do spool almost instantly. I plan on keeping the revs below 6K with the stock block, crank and rods so the turbos running out of steam by maybe 5 something K should be ok.
The IC is supposed to support up to 1000 hp-hopefully even 3/4 of that is true. I figure that I will most like build a second generation setup later and go to larger turbos with a more built motor so at least the IC part can stay.

Funny about the engine bay. I never really thought about it being big but when I think about putting all that piping in a honda bay-wow there IS a lot of room. I like how the turbos fit on the honda setups-really close in to the motor. It is like they are meant to be there in the first place.

Very nice....whats your engine setup? Im planning on eventually doing a single setup on mine with the explorer intake manny and gt40-p heads.

Re: Pics of mustang 5.0 TT setup on engine stand
 

Man I think you have a fortune wraped up in the T-bolts and Hose couplers alone!@!

Re: Pics of mustang 5.0 TT setup on engine stand
 

I hope you plan on making some brackets from the engine to the turbos to support all the weight on those headers.

Looks good =)

Re: Pics of mustang 5.0 TT setup on engine stand
 

The new engine set up will be stock block, cam and crank. Forged probe pistons and rods. GT40P heads. 9.2:1 compression. The intake I have is a stocker. I may try porting that. The GT40Ps have better plug angle for the flipped headers.
I was thinking about making brackets for the turbos at some point. Seems like a good idea.
