Default On3 lsx swap turbo kits

Just saw these last night, wonder how they'll turn out. I'd like to call and ask if it would work on my sn95 but still gathering funds for everything. http://www.on3performance.com/LS1NoAC.aspx

If you want a bolt on kit I highly recommend you call Brian at B&G. I have experienced both companies and my wallet and sanity wishes I went with B&G the first time.

I'd be willing to try an on3 hot side while I'm still trying to mock up my turbo

Really, I know they're both big in the mustang community but I've heard about the same for both kits, but I've heard of serious quality issues with on3 but they all seem to be from the first kits.

I emailed them on eBay asking for a hot side only price. My car is torn apart getting a core support so I have a few weeks to see if they respond

A good friend of mine had there kit on a 363 stroker with a garret turbo and the car ran high 8s. For the money the quality is pretty decent. If the make a bolt on ls1 mustang kit I'll prob have a set of kooks headers for sale.!!!

My personal experience with On3 was faulty injectors, parts missing from the kit and getting run around over and over. I guess it depends on how much youre willing to deal with, the initial cost of he kit wasnt bad but at the end of the day I could have bought a higher end kit from what I spent making everything right. If you do get their kit, get your own injectors, two of their injectors stuck open on me and washed down cylinders pretty much ruining my 306 (this was within 10 miles of installing the kit). The good thing that came from all of this is it led to my current LS swap.

There's a big thread about their injectors in the fueling section, I'm glad I saw it too, luckily there's so many good options for lsx motors. I just hope it works honestly. If this kit doesn't work I was gonna try their sn95 turbo kit and put on ls flanges, from what I read it should work but who knows.

Yeah, that's what a lot of guys do with the fox cars and the 351 kit.

Nice, if you have the resources building your own kit is the way to go.

I have 6.0 manifolds with vbands already. I'll try there ls1 swap if I can get a good deal on the hot side only. If not I'll continue with my build as planned

Gotcha, i tried to get them to sell me a 351 hotside by itself and back then they wouldn't do it but maybe these days they'll sell individual parts.

On3 is the ultimate trollz. So I guess it's back to an sn95 kit with some ls flanges. If someone could explain, how easy is a truck manifold kit to do?

I bought frdstang93's 302 kit/ls1 flanges Once everything shows up I'm calling over a friend of mine that is pretty good at fabricating.
