This board is great, but it needs a forced induction section. How many of you are running turbos on your Mavericks/Comets? I'm doing a system on a 74 302 Maverick with a Holset HX35.
Soon as Mavman gets off work, he will probably post some reply's. He did sell his 74 a while back without the turbo and related parts. Fellow up in the northwest, purcahsed it and was really impressed with the setup.
There ARE other people on here working on Turbo projects...But I`m not at liberty to disclose any more information at this time... But its coming!
A 302 with ONLY an HX35W? Jeez... I had a HY35W on my 2.3 4 banger, and it was just about right in terms of sizing. Maybe just a little on the "big" side, but it worked great for street bruising. An HX35W on a 302 will make good bottom end, but will probably sign off by 4500 RPM. I'd be looking for something a little bigger...maybe even an HX40 or HX50. The 50 might be a tad big (lots of lag, but learn how to drive "around" the lag and it'd be awesome). But to answer your original question, I'm currently not working on a turbo project, but I HAVE done it in the past. Twice. Once on a Maverick with a 302 and once with my old SVO. Both were fun...both were a pain in the neck.
Its in the plans.... just a HX35 till the T70. I've got a goal of 500hp. I only need fuel and an intercooler, yummy!! Anyone running a sumped fuel tank or a fuel cell in the stock place??
