Ive decided to try my hand at going turbo and would like some input on what turbo I should be looking for. Im putting it on my 305 with stock heads,416 castings, and still around the same stock compression. Performer RPM intake and a 600 holley. Im going with "budget " in mind so it doesnt have to be top shelf stuff. I know there are other things I will have to change but I will deal with that when I get to that point.

 

Would help if we have some sort of goal in mind first. Best I can say is that there's a couple of newer mustangs running a single 70 or 72mm turbo around 15psi for a mid/low 10 second 1/4-mile.

 

Not planning to make a monster,just want to have fun. Right now the car runs 15.02 on motor and 12.90 on a 150 shot. I would like to get it into the 12's. It makes 214hp/23xtq na and the nitrous puts it to 289hp/34xtq. I would like to keep it close to those numbers and be dependable.

 

For a budget turbo the master power T70 #810015 would probably be a good bet.

For reference when reading compressor maps:

10 psi = Pressure ratio of about 1.7
305ci @ 6500 rpm = 50lbs/min of air
@5500 = 42lbs/min
@4500 = 35lbs/min

 

i have a masterpower T70 NEW, with a .68 A/R turbine housing... would probably spool reaaaal quick on a 305ci. looking to sell it.

just bought a turbonetics TC-78, w/ .96A/R.... rated at 1100hp....
should have track numbers by the weekend of the 25th if all goes well.

 

pm me more info about the turbo if you would.

 

the masterpower t-70 with .68 turbine would be a great choice. They are only $550 new and will make 700hp.

 

im looking for a t70 myself.you said u could get them for 550$?please show me where.I see them being 600-700$.not trying to be a penny pincher but if i can find the same thing cheaper please post a link =]

 

What??....no top shelf turbo for that stock 305ci with an intake and carb? I would put a 50-60mm cold side unit on it. Probably go with a T4 .60 - .90 A/R turbine. A used $100 - $200 turbo off of Ebay would do it.
