I hate to play "mod" here, but, how about a full car pic (since this is the "Rigz" section). I'm just curious to see what the rest of the car looks like. :thumbup:

 

Re: Just a teaser.

Dukman

You're going to to have to wait until I get home.

I saw you and Brian on the 405 North, dropping back into the Valley late Monday morning; that was me in the stakebed w/ the double-beep, two lanes over on your left.

Damn thing looks good laying two black tatoos on the pavement starting at 60 MPH, I can tell you that.

Ahah! We saw you Chris, but couldn't recognize you in time. Hi right back at you man! I took Duk to a few SoCal spots for the day. Cruised PCH through Malibu, Santa Monica Pier, then Universal Studios/Citywalk. Lunch at the Hard Rock, and then the theme park. It was not overly crowded for a change, so it was a good day. :thumbup:

 

Re: Just a teaser.

Your car sucks. I couldn't even hear that thing over the Foci at FOTB. Lame.

Re: Just a teaser.

I wanna see this damn car!!!

 

Re: Just a teaser.

Re: Just a teaser.

Okay, here are the pixors.

Here's the car when I arrived in Cali. Chillin in the garage with a friend.

Then a bunch of stuff happened. FOTB, Beer, People falling off of walls, Beer, Bonfire, Beer, Cruisin, Beer...

Then we began the install. Or to be more specific, we stood around and looked like we knew what the hell we were doing and Jimmy (not that Jimmy) did the install.

This is the before pic. Yeah, I know, the engine is a bit dusty.

Then the front clip comes off.

Engine cover and CAI.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the car we manage to get the BAP installed without catching anything on fire.

Notice the wires aren't connected yet. Thats because someone more talented than I spliced and soldered things up.

Back up front, the fuel rail has been removed along with the factory fuel injectors and some FRPP 39lb injectors installed.

Also, while all the injector stuff is happening, we start work on installing the front mount.... Mmmmm... intercooler...

 

Re: Just a teaser.

Then I got sent off for burgers. We were hungry and I think they just wanted me the hell out of the way.

When I came back... Someone had stolen my intake.

Actually, the intake needed to be removed so that the thermostat housing could be accessed.

Then a bunch more stuff happened that I didn't get pics of because I was busy... or something.

We'll just pretend that the blower magically installed itself then.

And then we left to go to dinner. When we came back the engine compartment looked like this.

Up close of the FMIC through the lower grill.

Man... that's a ****ty picture of it. Oh well, deal with it till I can get better shots.

And then the car is back in the garage with it's friend.

And then the next day, I take it over and get it dyno'd.

 

Re: Just a teaser.

The car came to California NA with 274rwhp and 284 rwtq.

It left California boosted with 452 rwhp and 391 rwtq

Aaaaaand some other pics.

Passed this guy up on my way to Cali.

At FOTB (Pic credit goes to AZBobbybooshay who I stole the pic from)

At the Santa Monica Pier

On my way home. Zzyzx California

No boost while cruisin...

 

Re: Just a teaser.

NICE! I can has video? :evilgrin:

And seriously, "Zzyzx Rd"? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That does have a nice backdrop though.

Yes, Zzyzx. there's a bit of a story behind that. Give it a shot on Wiki, I believe they have the history IIRC.

I do have video of the dyno runs. I need to figure out how to upload it and then I'll post it if you want.

Wow, I guess I never thought about it, but those things made no power stock! I bet it feels a lot better now.

Why a boost gauge instead of boost/vac?

No they really didn't. The only real direct competitors at that time were all in the same HP range as the Mustang.

Didn't really see a reason for the vac/boost. Plus it's easier to see the numbers at a quick glance on the boost gauge.

 

Re: Just a teaser.

Sweet! :bow:

I bet your face hurts from the hours of smiling you did on the trip home. :lol:

Advertised horsepower was 305 crank and you just did the math now?

BTW Duk-These stock three valve bottom ends are good for near 500 WHP so you've got a little room to play yet :thumbup:

 

Re: Just a teaser.

very nice ride. I bet that thing moves really well now.

 

Re: Just a teaser.

I really do heart your wheel/tire combo :hump:

You coulda seen it in person if you weren't playing off this whole "I'm preggers" thing.

 

wow! Awesome man :thumbup:

 

Dang, you did it quick! When I get back in a few weeks, we gotta do lunch! I don't know if I want a ride in that beast, I may need to bring diapers.

 

So does that thing make the car faster???


But honestly sexy car man. I am jealous.

 

you are my hero. so whats next if nobody else hasnt already asked???

 

The car will have a set of lopey cams in it here in the next couple of weeks. (Just waiting for them to ship).

Then it'll be time for a new tune and a new dyno sheet. :evilgrin:

 

dude
love the car :bow:

i have always wanted a turbo stang
