Good lord, I just read all 23 pages and I'm really impressed. I have to say this looks like the kit to buy, and company to work with. If I do go turbo direction it will be with Quicktime turbo strapped to a 331 (no way will it be a stock block):salute:

Just gotta finish up my present stang project.

thanks for the nice words and if you do go turbo we would be more than glad to help you out.

thanks
 
Very nice kit!! I have been running a turbo street/strip mustang for 4 yrs now. I have went a best of 9.97 @143 with a 306cu and tremec TKO. My question is have you monitored air intake temps with your kit? I was curious, because my kit is similar and my intake temps are outrageous. My kit is air-to-air, but with the down pipe so close to the intake track the temps have to be high. Has anyone seen a kit where the downpipe is routed differently..

I'm not trying to bash, just trying to get feedback.

Thanks
 
Not trying to speak too much for newt here, but there are several kits out there with this same basic setup where the downpipe runs just as newts does. haven't heard of any problems anywhere else, though some say it is a good idea to get a turbo blanket to help keep underhood temperatures down. in my opinion, the air will be moving so fast once the turbo spools that the air won't really have much time to heat up at all. if someone was that worried about it, they could wrap the downpipe with some header wrap, though i wouldn't think this would be needed because all of newts stuff is ceramic coated...

we have not had any inlet temperature problems. We have monitored them as well. So I am not sure what is wrong with yours. Maybe you should speak with the people tha built your kit.
 
Where are most guys mounting that IAT or AIT sensor that is normally in the lower intake manifold? I switched to an Explorer intake and there was no provision so I read to install it in the inlet tube - when the kit is installed where should I mount this?

Drill and tap the hole where it would normally go on the stock intake. There should be a boss there to do so. I had to do the same thing with mine. It would probably be a little more helpful if I knew the tap size but I don't, sorry.

Ahh, great idea - i'm pulling the lower intake off and sending it out to be ported anyway so that won't be a problem. Don't sweat the tap size i'll find it - thanks

I run an air temp sensor right before the throttle body. I'm running a stand alone engine management. I won't mention the makers of my kit because after 4 yrs it's junk. The header welds keep breaking and they claim they warranty them, but I race alot and don't have time to wait for them to fix them, so I fixed them and they said that voids my warranty. OH well. Next kit will be custom...

Thanks Chris, for all of your help. When the kit comes in i'll call you so you can swing over and check it out.


BTW - this is Aaron
