Look at your GSX…thats prety much the same stuff you would need. Piping (well thought out piping in fact), wastegate, ect, ect. Even if money isnt a concern, time and down time for the van def. will be.

a good way to decide if “turbo x” will work on a project is to compare the engine the turbo came on to the vehical you want to put it on
t25 - 2.0 … and was to small for that engine as it was
2 t25’s would do just as poor a job feeding a 4.0
you have a 5.7
same for intercoolers

yea was thinking bout a turbo for the kit car if it didnt sell but think itd be more fun in a van lol what about ecu? would i need a stand alone? or would i just have to get it tuned im not sure if its obdII because its a 95 and as for the location of the components thats gona be the tough part because of how the engine sits in the van what size turbo would be a decent pic obviously the t25s are out of the question

you need at the very least, two t3’s from a turbododge or a mustang svo/turbocoupe or grand national.
turbododge turbos (garretts… not the sucky 89 2.5L mitsu turbo) would support ~450hp and can be found cheap.
the t25’s are too small.

I think its a great idea, give him some credit if he wants to waste the cash. Paint it black and make it the A team van.

can you flip headers on a 350? I know some engines you can… that would make it easier to mount the turbos.
is it a carb or EFI motor? youll have to build a box around the carb and do some other mods if its not EFI.

While the idea of a van being able to kick ass is awesome, heads, and cam seem like a better fit here?
Otherwise this comes to mind.
