Cool build man, How much of an improvement was that over stock?

 

[Boostang98]

Its still untuned, but it has been done many times before. Tuned it will be 370-400 rwhp on 12-14lbs
:thumbsup:

Nice car man.

Oh god, do want.

I'm going to go cry now...

 

[Boostang98]

Don't get too excited yet...lol I think the turbo took a sh!t today. So Im shopping for a new one or maybe a rebuild kit. Was gonna post a vid, but I guess it will have to wait a week or so...lol

A buddy and I built the whole system ourselves in basically two all nighters. (That were six months apart) Just a bunch of mandrel bends and some flanges.

Its got a stock bottom end for now, freshened splitport heads, windstar intake, 65mm GT TB, HPX slot style MAF, 42lbs lightning injectors and a focus pump.

Car needs a lot of work yet. I bought this car new, sold it after 6 yrs when my daugter was on the way, then happened upon it and bought it back 4 yrs and 4 owners later. It was my first new car, I bought it 6 weeks out of high school, so thats why Im building a six. Its sentimental

Cool build!!

 

[US Soldier(stang 98)]

nice build man hope you get it fixed soon.

 

[97stanger]

thats pretty cool, and more of a history than anything. good luck with it bro

 

[Boostang98]

Well, my masterpower turbo is done for, so it'll be down for a few weeks. I think I'm gonna get a Turbonetics 62-1, but I haven't made up my mind. Vacation is coming up over the 4th, so I think I'll decide and order something when I get back.

On a side note, my 2 1/2" stainless tailpipes came yesterday. They look great

Needs more... wait, no you're good.

 

[LilRoush]

Sweet. What cam are you using?

 

[Boostang98]

Cam is stock 1998 piece...lol. When I get a bottom end built Ill use some thing with around 230 duration .550 lift and 114* lsa

 

[LilRoush]

Nice. Going 3.8 again or jumping the to the 4.2L crank when you do the bottom end?

 

[Boostang98]

I haven't decided for sure, but I think I'll go with a 3.8 crank, 6.2" rods to get the rod to stroke around 1.8 to 1 and try and get some rpm out of it.

 

[Boostang98]

Oil restrictor was plugged with a chunk of crap, so the turbo was getting no oil. At least I found the problem, but Im not sure how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
