i will be locating the turbo underneath the engine right by the exhaust manifolds, with custom piping all the way around,
From the sounds of it you are going to sit the Turbo real low, huh?
Well there in it's self is an inherent problem. Gravity feed - you need to have the Turbo higher than the oil pan in order for the oil in the turbo's bearings drain back properly to the oil pan, and not just sit in the bearing and coke up. Otherwise you have to make a mini-sump with an oil pump to return the oil to the oil pan.
i will either be having water cooled (tricky) or more reliable liquid to air intercooler
What do you mean by water cooled? I don't think you know the difference between water cooled (does that exist) and liquid to air intercooling. I on the other hand have developed a working water injection susytem for a supercharged Contour SVT, that has shown as much as 20hp at the wheel improvement.
stand alone fuel managment computer (i will be having ford techs help me calibrate it)
Yeah right, they can't even work out CEL's in most cases, and you want them to tune an aftermarket ECU! :rolleyes:
Once again, I stand by my previous comments that you have no idea what you are doing, or what you are talking about.
The sheer fact that you want to use a T-4 sends up the flag to me, I'd like to see your thermo calcs and flow calcs showing you that you will have enough time to spool that turbo before the peak torque zone. That turbo is competition only, and will only be useful at upper rpms, basically making you car a dog at anything under 4000rpms.
Kris, do you self a favour and just put your money in a good bank account, earn some interest, learn to drive properly, and then when Chris gets a PROPERLY DEVELOPED turbo kit out there, go and buy it.
Even though I may sound like a jerk, I would hate to see you waste your money on a hodge-podge turbo kit.
