turbo on 557 fox body
I am building a 557 for my 1991 lx fox body. I am using the 385 block with 95cc heads. I was wondering what the max boost i will be able to run. Should i go with a single turbo or twin turbos. I was looking at twin t3/t4 turbos but i dont know if that will be enough. I was wondering if anyone has done this and if there are going to be a lot of things to modify or avoid.

Max boost is dependent and several things you didn't provide. To name just a couple...CR, fuel octane, type of use, intercooler, ect, ect, ect. Turbo selection (size & single/twin), once again, is dependent on hp goal, type of use, ect, ect, ect. Lots of stuff will need to be fabricated and modified to build a BBF/turbo combo in a FOX.
Have a good day!

aftermarket block would be a good thing.ejsmith31 wrote:Will be 4 the strip wanna make 1500hp if possible with the block I wanna do twin turbos. I'm new to all this turbo stuff sorry. Open to ideas for part combinations.
twin 88's will give you room to grow and will breathe well with the correct a/r. 2 1/4 may be a bit large for the headers.
if you plan on making some power an air to water intercooler will help you get there.
More info would really help though.
Just my opinion(s) though.
