On 3 Performance LS1 swapped Foxbody Kit / Build At first I really didn’t give the LSx / Foxbody swap much thought and personally saved my black coupe from getting a GM engine swapped in. I thought it was a sin to put a GM engine into your Mustang. After looking over a few, seeing how well they run and how clean they install, I took on the newest foxbody turbo kit design. The project started with a local car friend’s coupe with a LS1 / T-56 swapped in and ready to design around. I couldn’t believe the room we had to work around with and made this a nice system and installs very clean. As much as I hate to say it, I would like to at some point build a clean coupe, stripped down with a 6.0l swapped.
The car has been 11.50 n/a so we have a good base line and will see where the car goes with boost(….9.999 lets hope). As far as the build goes, we have a set of custom tubular stainless steel headers that merge together in a similar design to our fox 5.0 system. The downpipe is also stainless and goes from 3” and transitions to 3.5 to the firewall. So that will support good power and not become a restriction like some of our other systems that just have a 3” option. This will fit any turbo up to the 7875 but I did fit a t4 flanged 88mm on the car to be sure it will clear. It will take a custom transition on the downpipe since the outlet of the turbo is larger but a pretty simple cut / weld if you needed the 88mm.
As far as the cold side goes, its all 3” aluminum tubing and bead rolled ends. All kits will come standard with the black couplers that you see and all stainless t-bolt clamps. We use the standard 25”x 12 On3 air to air intercooler and will have options for a 4” core if requested. Once again, this is all routed very clean and has a high polished finish that looks really trick.
The car we mocked up on did have a tubular kmember but we kept the factory unit it mind and will be a little tighter with the downpipe but will clear. We did not have a/c on the car so as of right now, we are going to advertise the setup as a/c must be removed. Power steering and power brakes were kept in place and no need to remove either.
All in all, this is the easiest kit we have to install, not sure how popular it will be but we shall see. I don’t like getting calls for kits and we have to tell customers to go elsewhere. So we are going to fulfill this market and excited to see what our customers will do with the new setup.
This is a production system so we plan on bringing the system in very limited quantities to market Jan 1st tentatively. We have started our pre-sales on the system as a lot have already heard and been waiting for the release. If you have any questions, feel free to ask about the project and the kit design. You can email us at On3Performance@aol.com or call the shop at 614-439-0057
I will try to keep updating the thread as we get further along with the car. The production has taken longer than planned as well so we are a little behind on everything. We still have a few parts off the car that we wanted to tweaked before production. Once that’s back together, numbers, videos and track times shouldn’t be too far behind

We can leave the 3 items out but we arent parting anything out at this point besides for what you have listed. They are going to sell out pretty fast so we are going to stick with complete systems.
