Had a blown turbo. I bought a 90 Ford Probe that had some mule deer body damage and and a good drivetrain. Put the stock turbo on and drove it for awhile. Then I got bored and had to start playing. One weekend I swapped the 5sp trans and a T3 from a Thunderbird Turbocoupe. Heres the build:
T3 flange welded on to a stock manifold
Port matched
Turbo mounted and ready for some fab
My buddy on the TIG
With all this done I had made a boring commuter car into a fun daily driver. But the T3 died after about a month. I rolled the stock turbo for a few weeks while the new turbo was obtained. A few weeks after I installed the T3/T4 I was out hotrodding and spun a rod bearing( later found to be due to the previous owners obvious lack of care for a turbocharged vehicle). So out came the stock engine and in went the Probes engine. At the end of June I ordered MS and over the summer I built, installed and tuned it(not without the help of some good friends though, especially Fred). It sbeen running on MS for a few weeks and im overall pretty happy with it. I finally got the exhaust plumbed all the way to the back of the car and I can actualy hear the beautiful sound of my wastegate opening. Next up are a 255lph fuel pump and some DSM injectors that I have laying around, 16-18psi, hopefully about 300 whp and shortly thereafter a blown clutch
. Hope you all enjoy.Chris
And since its installed on my car and wrapped in header wrap there aren't going to be anymore, sorry. All the other pipes are painted(black now) so no nice pics to show there either.
