edit: Just noticed it has m3 style mirrors on it too...... Lets hope it completes the look with yellow underglow and altezza tail lights.

Yeah wouldn't be my first choice but none the less it's nasty fast, and yea we do a LOT of super charged and turbo mustangs I'll try and keep you guys up in pictures

Looks like a lot of rice there, both domestic and foreign.

Yea dude a lot of these cars are really slow and cheap, lots of wide body and mexiflush but I'm learning a lot of good bondo work so that's a plus.....


But on a serious note that white terminator is stupid fast, can't remember the dyno numbers, but driving in it with my boss to get gas and meet our emissions guy was a crazy experience, never thought I'd love a mustang

Oh yah update on the eclipse


Typically I love shaft play when it's from my bitches, but this shaft play was a bitch, it's a turbonetics t3 so the down pipe is a four bolt flange but I'm finding it impossible to find a t3 turbo for less then $600 so I'm goin to up grade to a t3/t4 down pipe but this being me first turbo car, will I have to change anything else to run a t3/t4?

By the way its actually my brothers car but he's not very mechanically inclined but he wanted to learn so I'm walking him through everything i have been doing, oh it's got cool wheels too guys! Their made by Voxx

And one more for fun

T3/t4 is a loose expression to describe a t3 flange turbine housing with a rough sculpture of a t4 compressor housing. It's more directed at marketing a turbo rather than performance specs. What counts is how the turbo is cooled, area over radius and what bearing system it utilizes.

As for the downpipe, t3/t4 downpipes don't exist. You've got a open selection to choose from DEPENDING on your turbine housing. 4 bolt turbine housing = 4 bolt downpipe...5 bolt turbine housing = 5 bolt downpipe (sometimes ford style watch out!)


Another tip. When choosing a turbo, make sure the wastegate set up is what you want. Internal or External. If you are currently Externally gated and end up purchasing a internally gated turbo you would have to weld the wastegate chamber shut.

Any engine bay shots of the eclipse?

It's oil cooled, external waste gate, so the real problem is I'm having trouble finding a t3 with a 4. Bolt compressor housing I don't know if pictures will help but this is what I'm working with

Call arizona tractor and turbo supply. They will upgrade and rebuild the one you have. Tell them your setup and hp goals. They rebuilt a turbo for a cobalt for a customer for 250.

[SHOdude]

Thanks I'll call today

It wasn't like he was beating on it just road testing it like your supposed to

[99corvette]

Gotta test drive cars after work has been done, now its a different story if you give a shop a car with brand new drag radials and you get your car back with worn/bald tires.......talking about another mustang shop not the one your working for.
