Streetable turbo

[1989GT]

You can use a turbo off a diesel, just need to know what you're getting. A Garrett T04 will work well depending on what compressor you use. I know a few guys running masterpower T70's which can flow enough to crack the stock block. If I ever build another fox it'll be with flipped headers and a single T70.

Buy a Novi 1000 blower and be done with it IMO.

Yes it is both in performance and price.

So the novi 1000 is the way to go? What hp range would you think the novi put out with a stock engine? They say it's a 35 - 45 % gain how true is it? Thinking about it the novi uses a belt from the crank wouldn't it drop the 35 - 45 % gain down due to the load to the crankshaft turning the blower ? I have seen a 1990 mustang with a cheap turbo setup with stock engine just flat out smoke a stock 1993 cobra with a blower running 8psi . I'm still up in the air on what setup to go with.

There is no such thing as a cheap turbo set-up unless you are a really good fabricator.

My 1992 LX is a totaly stock auto car. It ran a 15.20@93mph before the blower and a 13.80 at 101 after the blower. Vortech SC-trim 7 psi $1,900.00.

Turbo is always best if it is what you really want go for it.
