someone told me that if i put a twinturbo on my 1990 F150 5.0L 302W it wouldn't be able to take it. is that true? if so is there anythign i can do to make it work?

 

depends on how much boost you want to produce?!

 

depends on how well you build your engine.

even the stock engine can handle some boost depends on how you drive it

 

whats about the most boost i can have?

 

6 to 10 PSI depends on tune and how lucky you are with the bottom end

 

ok
i'm supper new with all this and this is probable a really stupid question but is that both turbos together or per turbo.

 

That would be together as 5 psi per turbo is still 5 psi at the intake. Go on turbomustangs.com and look at people who have done junkyard TT setups on stock 5.0's...very powerful with not a whole lot of money invested.

 

Do a single turbo to start a lot more money to due twins it really just a look at your power level any ways good luck

 

I have less than 2500.00 in my TT setup on my 92 Mustang GT. 2 small turbos spool quicker than a single turbo set up. I'm running 14lbs of boost on my stock block with all forged internals and it is making 627 RWHP. But with good internal forged parts along with a DSS Racing main support a stock block can hold 525 RWHP all day long. But boost is addictive and if you aren't careful boost will split a stock block in a matter of afew seconds of a short pass. High RPM on a stock block is what cause the block to split in the main webbing and across the lifter valley. I shift mine at 5200 RPM and I have not had a problem yet. Just make sure that you get head studs and multi layer steel head gaskets for Cometic or Fel-Pro for your build.

ok thanks
i'm really new with all this and was just wondering what a TT setup was i've heard people talk about it but i'm not 100%sure what it is

 

A twin TT set constist of a Turbo on each side of the motor. One for each bank of the motor. With the right combination and properly sized turbos they will spool very quickley=build boost and can be extremely effecient and usually have a much longer turbo life due to splitting the boost poundage among each trubo. It usually invloves a little more piping work but it is worth it.

which turbos would be best for my application do you think?
whats the most boost i can have per turbo?

 

I need some more info on your planned setup. What compression, heads, intake, valves sizes, what cam shaft=need the spec's of it, turbo locations. What is you intended perpose with this vehicle, daily driver, street strip, drag? What type of transmission, AOD, AODE, 4R100, manual, if automatic what stall speed of the converter and size of the converter? What rear gear ratio? How much does the vehicle weigh? These are the most important ?'s tht need to be answered before choosing a turbo. As far as asking how much boost you can have, that depends on the ?'s above and running alot of boost doesn't mean you will have more power. You want to run the correct amount of boost that is the most effecient and at the correct boost level to meet you needs safely.
