new guy in north tx
Reading and searching right now. Have a 96 mustang that im planning a 5.3 turbo swap for. Trying to read and learn more on the platform so I dont ask too many noob questions.
My background is in diesel performance, but I want to go fast so I needed something lighter and cheaper to play with. shooting for 9.99

I have no real experience modifying/tuning gas vehicles at all as I bought myself a diesel truck to tow a race trailer with in high school so I have been playing with them ever since.
Im just a bit burnt out on everything costing so much, injectors in my truck were $3400, high and low pressure fuel pumps, compound turbos, trans for it was over 6k, I can build a sub 10 car for less than what I had in my trucks aftermarket parts im pretty sure. Just need to learn more and connect with some locals that can help from time to time as well. Biggest thing is the tuning, i dont know JACK about tuning a gasser lol

cant tell ya a thing about turbo/tuning. I put a L33 5.3 into 76 skylark left motor stock with pcm street tune. Lt1Swap.com does pcm tunes and has wiring info. You would need to e-mail him see if what he knows on turbo tuning.
