i was at a toys for tots car show and i ran across this CL, unfortunately the actual owner wasnt there to answer m questions about the turbo. but i took pics with my cellphone to see if you guys noticed anything special about this setup. do you think this would be possible for a 2g TL? oh yea, the guy that was there said it was the second engine put in because the first one was blown.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the CL owner could be on this board, search the CL section..

 

His name is NOPI something

 

yea, i should. but from what i heard, hes never in town.

 

The turbo will fit. They are the same car. The problem is going to be in the intake height. Also that looks like a manual and the piping may not fit past the auto trans??

 

IMHO, get a six speed swap with a type S motor, then drop in a turbo or supercharger, why? Because with the 6 speed you will have maximum power, more HP, and mods will respond much better..

Thats the route I'm taking..

 

i feel you guys, but i read in previous post that the issue with a TL turbo is the downpipe?? and an engine swap+a SC/TB will be more expensively wasteful than feasible for most. but FL3.2TL if you are willing to make a completly detailed price list and parts list, i may consider it. i have about 4k saved up

oh yea, car is for sale for 14k

 

dang phee you're serious about this stuff. 2 weeks ago you couldnt install the intake now you're swapping and turboing lol

 

ya man, im so serious about my car. i had no idea i was going to be like this, a couple months ago i didnt even know what a CAI was!

 

hehe glad to have you around then. it's crazy people like you that pushes the envelope

 

well im actually trying to have a completely nice sleeper. still taking ideas though.

 

haha, you remind me of myself when i first had the car.. except for the part where i knew wat a CAI was.. haha, but dang, once i hit college, money was going out fast for tuition.. good luck tho!

 

haha, COlLEGE IS FREE FOR MEEEEE!!!!!!!

 

Of what?

 

of every single needed part for a swap and a turbo/supercharger swap. with prices. i checked yours out and i felt a bit overwhelemed. but thats only natural seeing as i have no idea where to start. i will most likely have my brother in law do it for me.

 

wish i had people who even liked cars. i have 1 buddy and the rest have no idea what 70hp/liter means >.>

 

that is NOPIGUY, it's a custom kit. It's an automatic too. It will fit but it's not a kit you can just buy, it's completely custom made.

 

does anyone know if he is willing to post up schems. for it? or part it out?

oh yea RAZZI: i dont have any car friends LOL except for this one guy who brags about his talon 24/7 and always tries to have pissing contests with mehaha

 

Probably not. And being custom isnt something you really post a bunch of instructions and part numbers. Half the work is in the custom made piping.

 

man that guy must have money to blow. how is his car there, and he's not?! If I had mine turboed out, I would not let mine out of my sight!

 

NOPIGUY was selling the car in the black market why not just buy it lol

 

lol beause my car is worth about 8k and i got 4k and im not ready to be brok-er LOL.

t0ast: he is prolly loaded, the guy who was showing his car for him said he hasnt been to the shop in about a month.

 

Phee, if u want to do a swap and type S, Kris ( Fsttyms ), has it done. Go check out the stickes on the main page.

 

yea, i saw that the first time i came to the forum! i dont think there was a DIY or a parts list

 

Sound like you on HOPE Plan

 

hope all day!!! it pays to get the grade

 

if i was most of you guys id just get an 03/04 mustang cobra...stock eaton s/c pushing around 425hp...with exhaust and pullies intake etc, hp can go up to about 460 470.. ...then with the kenne bell..around 520 ...

 

I work for Ford. Those yrs. Mustangs are pieces of shit.

 

^^agreed LOL

 

would you mind explaining why?

 

FORD stand for "FIX OR REPAIR DAILY" and "FOUND ON ROAD DEAD" lol

 

Need i say any thing more than FORD??

 

and Circle the problem--->

 

Honestly there is nothing wrong with Ford, it just depends on cosumer taste. Dad has a Ford E150 ( Work van ) for his business, been there for 8- 10 years, about 110K, and no problem whatsoever. Brother owned a Mustang GT and a FORD Harley, no problem. Ford is nice, but depending on how u drive it, could be the different between Ford and other brands..

 

i'll never drive a ford just cause all my friends would never let me hear the end of it lol

 

back to topic: im really down about the fact that noone makes turbos for my tl. does anyone know how much im lookin at for a custom job

 

probably 5-7k, and just hope your tranny doesn't take a dump because thats more $$ to shell out since the dealer wouldn't cover that with a turbo.

 

Like I put in the CL thread you started...

Ya 14k is a great deal for NOPIGUY's car, I asked about turbo kit part out price. Also, there is ThinJim's kit available, as well as this -

https://acurazine.com/forums/member-cars-sale-49/fs-2001-supercharged-cl-s-sundance-gold-orange-county-calif-373284/

3.5 swap with S/C, IC, custom injectors, etc...$5000 maybe less

The setup above and NOPIGUY's setups are both AT, ThinJim's is MT. Even with HBP you might be looking around 375-400whp for the linked setup as opposed to 450 with ThinJim's. Haven't heard numbers from NOPIGUY, but I would guess 350-400, I think it is running fairly low boost.

 

Oh and as far as Ford goes, I have a CLs with over 100k running strong, while my brother has a Ford Explorer Sportrac over 100k that just had $2,000 worth of work and is still barely running...Only Ford I trust are Ford trucks, preferably turbo-diesel!

EDIT: Timbo you work for Ford? I never knew...TRAITOR!

 

Haha if your talking about college loans and such you better get serious...HOPE+COF+Stafford+ParentPlus FTW. This is the first semester I'm actually not completely paying for my own school, bitches! Alright three straight posts, I think it's bed time...
