On3 tt or Paxton?

[mantis118]

You see in person this kit??Looks good?

I'm installing one on my car so yeah. You could say I've seen one. Lol and I'm friends with Larry.

Another reason to consider the turbo is if you're running a Paxton and you lose a belt, you're calling a tow truck. This happened to a local Paxton Coyote car. You can't just wrestle a belt into place, you're pulling the whole blower and most of the bracketry off the car (once the tow truck drops you off at home that is).

belts throwing from one of these cars Is few and far between, and if they are throwing belts, it's usually do to an installation error.

over 300 passes and never thrown a belt.

i agree with beef. especially stock block power levels.

Paxton Novi 2200 if i had to pick between these two options.
Way more proven than on3..
When going turbo i wouldn't cheap out..

has there actually been any turbo failures on the on3 kit with the 2011+ cars?

Not to my knowledge.

I wouldn't consider on3 due to it's lower quality component's. Its a newer car in my opinion on3 is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to turbo kits and you get what you pay for.
But i may have a higher standard than some. I love turbos but proven consistent quality components are important to me.
All turbos are not made equally in quality.

Paxton is coming off this weekend and a modified On3 kit with twin Comp 6265 oil-less turbos are going on. Doing a swap on a kit that has already been installed/modified to fit and powdercoated stealth black so hoping the install goes very smoothly. The Paxton is very easy to install and makes good power. Where the Paxton can't compete is the part throttle boost. Turbos make daily driving a pleasure. While I won't be daily driving the Mustang, I do DD a Gen 1 Lightning 351W and I put a turbo on it just for that reason. No need to floor it or rev it up beyond 4500 rpm to get it moving through slower traffic.

Well not bash on turbos but i just saw a hellion turbo failure so....turbos probably fail more often than paxtons...come to think there has been more turbo blown motors than vortech or paxtons combined

 

[robbinthehood]

Paxton's are proven but the install of the on3 is what's holding me back. I love turbos though. Maybe I'll find a way and save up enough for a CPR or jpc kit

Josh Anderson from gas monkey the same guy that claimed he had cracked header also claimed turbo was causing some smoke. he never sent the turbo back to on3 and never presented pics of the cracked header.

as far as turbos, s/c any brand will fail ?

Now we're talking better turbo..
These i would choose over Paxton

well after seeing the shotty cars they build......

yea anything can fail. i just look at you towards having successful passes. you did say you had to modify some stuff on the kit though right? im sure its the same as some off the paxton kit that i had to modify b/c it fit like shit. never gonna get ANY kit that is EXACLY the same as the original.

Yea I saw a guy blow a motor once too....now i push my car everywhere instead of risking it. :dw:

U must save alot of gas money then.....:-D

Maybe because all the turbo cars make more power.........:burn:

If you guys ever watch a boost gauge with a supercharger vs a turbo you'd see why a turbo is so much faster. A turbo will make peak boost earlier and hold that amount through the whole rpm range (provided the wastegate flows properly).

I was faced with this decision just over a week ago, was dead set on a Paxton, but very curious about the on3 kit. I was ready to buy the Paxton but the timing just wasn't there as I knew the prices were going up on the Paxton and I missed the deadline by a matter of hours. I got the base On3 kit for substantially less

There's 2 other TT on3 cars here in STL that I know of and they haven't had any problems, I plan on pushing mine a lil harder and will be giving reviews as I go through everything.
