what would be a good turbo for my 67 mustang?
it has HR1.6 rockers, 264 cam, with the pushrods springs (extended cam pacage) and it has 2.25", dual exhaust, and i have the holley webber 2bbl carb
 
Find Lincs200 post. If I were buying one it would be that one. He also gives you an idea of what else you need with it and what to expect.

There are several builds to compare. Just look thru this section you will find good info.
 
You will need to define some goals.

It is impossible to make a recommendation without knowing what you want from your car.
 
i dont know i guess it would be better low end power.... the car needs help on the acceleration
 
In that case, then the S-3 that I used is perfect. I have one for sale.

You could also look into some of the T-3 turbos, like the one Kirkallen143 is using on his bronco.
 
A T3 Super 60 Trim is about the largest you can go in a t3 before having to move onto an S-3 trim TO4B, but they can be harder to find and may be more expensive than a TO4B....

You "hit that nail right on the head", I had a 6 week wait period on the t3 "super 60" till the supplier found one @ $450.00, after it was all said and done.

67MHR, I'm going to digress a little.

You're obviously just getting into the mechanicals of this stuff, from the questions posted. It's really too early to practically consider turbo applications. Look at the twists and turns every turbo installation here has been through. Without an excellent home setup, good finances, time and experience it's almost asking to come unstuck.

A lot of people "fixate" on the turbo itself. It's a neat size, looks cool and is relatively affordable. However, it doesn't address ignition control, fuel supply/regulation, intercooling, engine internals or driveline buildup.

What I would suggest is to keep reading, watch everyone else's trials and tribulations and keep notes on how things fail. Consider that Kirk has just destroyed a shortblock. You should be able to take note of the causes of that misadventure; in this way he is actually paying for your education - cool, or what?

The '67 engine bay is quite large. Why not consider a modified log-head 250? There's lots that may be done (look at "mraley" and his dyno results) to get more power and it's going to be far less destructive if not 100% on the money, than a turbo.

Once you get to the level of really knowing the sixes inside out, that would be a good starting point for a turbo build. Remember a key rule is to keep your project car operational and in use. A car that sits, is far more likely to never get finished.

Regards, Adam.
 
Good reply! :D


Also, when building a turbo kit, make sure you have all the parts needed before ever starting the conversion. It takes forever when you have to wait 2 weeks at a time for bits and pieces
 
I'm not even going the turbo route and i have that problem :roll:
