Thread: Falcon has turbo installed

Tweet

I bolted the turbo on today, going to have to adjust it's position tomorrow ( just loosen the bolts holding the turbo pipe to the manifold and turn the turbo pipe )b4 I start fabricating the pipes, it hits on the heater hoses even tho they are formed 90* hoses right tight to the firewall, trans dipstick will be tricky to get to also. but it's there. now it's officially Ford Tough with Buick stuff

Well that will be hot inline for sure . Took alot of thought for you to get it in there . Thats the rodding that makes it rodding . Great work Matt

Me and 2 other people peiced and fabb'd the hot side pipe togther in june, in july, I welded and added the O2 sensor bung, and the flange for the wastegate on. the turbo was not cockable ( can't position inlet for exhaust, it's permanent ) so putting the turbo back there was nessasary, most put them where the battery is, but I got the fuel system stuff there. ( reguilator, canister filter, and the lines ). the exhaust outlet will exit thru the fenderwell, and down and around.

I can see that you have given this alot of time , research and planning to get that snug little baby in there, well done Matt. I will be interested to see how the motor response to the turbo.
I have given thought (due to gass prices) of doing the same in a T bucket.
Keep us updated Matt.
