my car has pretty low miles so im thinking of turbocharging it. its not going to be ridiculus, just more fun driving around town. has anyone turboed a stock 2.5 and what were the results. this is an automatic tranny car so im sure that wont last too long. i was thinking of running a t3 from a 5 speed turbo coupe. any comments?

A T3 is WAY TOO small.
Good luck with the POS slushbox.
You may want to search. A lot.

i hadnt really researched it too much but they make decent power on a 2.3 4 cyl. i figured on a motor that was making probably 50 more whp naturally aspirated it would be a decent upgrade, and it would make more power than the 4 cyl just because of the added airflow. how about a stock grand national turbo? if im so wrong enlighten me.
i know how to chose turbos for big v8's but not little cars. i figured something with similar displacement would work out ok.
from what ive read on here warmonger is running a similar setup and is making more than 300 hp at the wheels. so how is this too small of a turbo? i must be missing something here.

wow
How do you know how to size a turbo on a big motor, but not a small one?
Warmonger is running a t3/t4 60 trim. There are lot of people running 2.5 turbo's...
SEARCH!!!

Hows about a stock grand national turbo  ...you need to do a lot of reading. I also have a hard time believing that you know how to pick turbos for BIG V8's...especially if you come on here asking us if you can manage to scrap together some BS turbo kit using junkyard turbos. If you want a turbo kit just call ADC...hopefully they will have the new log style header design done which is supposed to fit the ATX. Besides turboing the CD4E is a waste...thing'll fall apart after 500 miles.

ok brainiacks, why would i spend thousands of dollars on a turbo setup on a car i bought for a buck? come on now, use your head here boys, the turbo kit would be 4000% of the value of the car. i wasnt looking for a race beast just some more pickup to make this thing a little bit more fun. i was thinking about maybe 250whp tops. well i guess i got my answer, thanks for all the help

You are making very little sense. You want a lil more pickup so you are gonna attempt to slap a turbo on your ATX duratec...I think what you are really looking for is a set of headers and an intake.

Matt, I don't know if they will work with your ATX, but you might PM Tom (Warmonger) about his turbo stuff he has for sale....
