Figured id show a SINGLE pic of the turbo SHO project ...

it’s not so :snky: when you post threads about it guys :smiley: j/k.

can’t wait to hear this thing. secondaries will be gone, correct? are you reversing the intake or running the charge pipe across the engine bay?

DIY > *

not a problem i dont see alexs car lasting long enough for a oil change

I never heard any mention of how much boost he was going to be running:gotme:

so when will it be done?

you should get rid of the SHO body clad and put regular taurus bumpers on and such, make it look like a regular ol taurus, not even a SHO if you want a sleeper

This is a smart man

While it would be more sleeper this way no one expects a SHO to be faster than a 14 second car:( …so by default any SHO that breaks this barrier is a sleeper.

glad to see it finally comming together alex…let me know when its done :slight_smile:

lookin good guys…keep it up :tup:

gonna be a lil while longer still, we have a decent sized to-do list still

SHO plastics will get more races… cause SHO guys think they are quick.

BTW - Very popular turbo location for Terminator Cobras

that would be great except the setup barely fits behind the SHO body there is no way it would fit behind the SLO stuff. + the SHO body creats more downforce and is more stable in tripple digit speeds… :slight_smile:

got the idea in part from them.

ELEVENTYBILLION psi!

.4bar to begin with becasue thats the spring in the wastegate, so probably like 5.5 but i will raise it once i’m comfortable with everything probably to 9psi and that should yealy my 300-350whp goal. then will come drag slicks and i’ll atempt to set a new world reccord :slight_smile:

OMGWTFBBQ no it doesnt !!!

sorry … had to

That’s not true…we know what we’re dealing with:)

Alex, how close to stock is your engine? I’d REALLY like to see this thing touch a 12 someday…but that may be a bit optimistic.

You would be surprised Mike. The ATX cares are much better for launching than the MTXs. The 60’ is hte biggest reason SHOs run shitty 1/4 mile times. I have seen TOM W. Rip off a few 13.3 on the same HP and trap I am running 14.0s @. Only real difference is he has an ATX on Nittoz vs. my MTX on street tires. Gotta love no diff pin, weak axles or crappy 3rd gear to worry about. This bish will take slicks where mine won’t :frowning:

I agree with you there. When I had my 92 MTX SHO I couldn’t cut anything quicker than 2.4’s at Lancaster, running low 10s but was still trapping high 70’s. I think the only time I got a stellar launch in that car was when I ran Alex from a stop and pwned him out of the hole and he was in complete, utter shock lol.

Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t this setup be used on a few other cars, mainly mustangs for one.

Besides, on an ATX SHO there really is NO room to work with a turbo that large.

EDIT: No taurus, will ever out :snky: my SLO. Not ever.

I would love to see this thing when its done. Maybe get some runs in.

true plus he’ll get more races with it being a sho, it’s only right, right?

haha :tup: hotrodkid finally got a project, awesome!

i did ?

:snky:
