Im working with a local speed shop, Altered Atmospheres in MD to gauge the feasibilty for Forced Induction (turbos) on the FX45.
We are going to investigate what can be done as far as a turbo set up on stock fuel sytem, as well as higher boost applications with additional reinforcement to the fuel system, as well as slight block modification. Also inspection for front mount intercooler fitment will be performed.
This is definetly not for the wary.
Once i have some hard data, I will assess wether or not the gains will be worth the cost. If anyone is interested in finding out what can be done, and is interested enough to possibly split fabrication costs please let me know. The more people involved, the cheaper it will be for all of us. Replicating the kit wont cost nearly as much as the first one produced. Possibly this could become a complete bolt-on-affair for people interested in boosted fx45 performance!!!
Estimates on low boost application(stock fuel) is just around 360 - 380+ whp. (appx 400bhp - 420bhp)
High boost applications will really depend on what our AT's can handle (im not interested in having to mess with the stock stall converter).
I will also be performing a base-line dyno run, just to see what we are starting with. Also interested in seeing what amount of drive-train loss we are experiencing.
Ill update as soon as I get more info!
