im sure i forgot something but im try to post my pics that i got so far this weekend im aiming for the 500hp mark what does everybody think about the build so far.i also have my v8 1st gen that im working on.

 

It sound like JoeBoost 384 whp / 412 wtq?

 

Very impressive parts list!

What are you doing for a tranny?

 

sounds sweet. update with pics and dynos and such.

 

are you going to tune with

 

no turd gen tranny will hold that....none. (at least not for any long length of time)

 

Put in an auto with shiftkit and big *** cooler, I understand turd gen tranny is the same as 4th gen, should hold pretty good, depending on your driving.

 

It will hold if u build it like neal's...

 

Fast XFI
+1

 

Started building yet or just your plans?

 

He cam over today with his camera so I could show him how to post up pics but he card wouldnt fit in my laptop so hes going to get a adapter for the card or the cord and he can post all the good pics.

Here is a few I took last time I was over at the shop with my phone.

 

Nice!

 

looking good!

 

HOLY SH*T IM GUESS ABOUT 450 HP @ CRANK?

 

im really liking the coil pack setup. Id do that but im going stick with my nistune. What you got planed on the intake custom I take it by looks whats going on so far. Also any experience with maf on intake side vs charged? My new setup its on the charged side well see how it works spring time.

 

Who made your headers and how much?

 

That's a really clean looking install. I could see something similar being done on a 4th gen if you used a cone directly on the turbo (or a 90 to a CAI in the fender) and did some slight relocation of the fuse boxes to keep the hot side from melting them.

 

IMHO I would move the MAF AFTER the BOV cause now you have all this metered air dumping into the atmosphere, the computer thinks that air is still in the motor and adds the correct amount of fuel to compensate except you just dumped it right out the piping causing a big puff of black smoke from that nice rich condition you just created and = loss of power at your shifts, fouled plugs ect..


Correct me if I'm wrong?

edit: i do see its a ford MAF

 

it's been done already

 

probably a cobra maf or lightning

 

that usually result in a dead MAF in a short amount of time..no?

 

any timeslip or dyno result?

 

Pretty sure he is still building it.

 

hmm i think so

 

no still building. plan to order the material to build the intake monday.also will be posting some more pics of the car soon.

 

More/better pics.

wow

 

There is cream in my pants, and it ain't whipped...

Let us know how the XFI works out. I considered using FAST before, may still. I got a turbo 302SB Chevy, and a VG30 that both could use some love.


The home-brew Poly bushings is cool. Have to look into that. Any tips from experience? I got my K10 pickup that needs leaf spring pushing all around. Granted, I'll most likely machine my own out of Delrin (Sorta like Teflon), but options are always good. And I've seen enough crumbled motor mounts to know that could be a nice cost-effective way to fix them.

Anyway, great project you got! That rear suspension alone is very nice! Gotta love the use of Ford, and GM parts to make this happen.

 

I'm loving this project. Great work!

 

Beautiful!!

 

damn nice build

 

very nice.. makes me smile when i see other 3rd gens done well.

 

Nice

 

got the valve covers powdercoated and will be done with the fab on the intake tues or weds of next week and will post some pics before it goes to the coaters looking very good so far also got my fans and an radiator hoses made to.

 

want to make some more of the rear suspension parts? ill buy some!! + what are you doing for ur intake i have almost the same setup, but its a little different.

its an older pic b4 the coil on plug setup.

 

These setup are killer

 

all the fab on the intake is done havent took any pics yet and still have to get it coated. also got the radiator and fans are complete. still have to get my fsat xfi but getting very close to needing it. will see how my funds go.try to get some pics of the intake posted this week. going to redo my intercooler piping this weekend

 

where r u located? i could use some assistance

 

right outside of charlotte nc.

 

I'm in south east Georgia we should meet up
