AutoRacing Youtube SHO Build Thread

Like I always tell my kids, safety first, or at least top five!

Installed the OEM front lip yesterday. The heat should reform it from the packaging but this car had neither of the front under trays and the fender liners were getting eaten up. (Also being replaced) I'm assuming it was removed for the tow hook that was installed on the front end.

This should help the cooling system a bit due to the front end being more ram aired through over the air from the grills having the option to go straight down. Honestly really completed the front end look a bit. Now I gotta decide on triangles again or not... LOL

Is this considered a world first?

Just saw your video. Gotta admit I got a little turned on listening to that exhaust.

More pieces from @DadMobile ! Wilwood front brake conversion. I consistently push through the brakes at about 2k rpm trying to build boost on this turbo so hopefully these will help. Also the old fender liners were shredded from not having the front most undertray on so I replaced those as well with new oem ones! Just waiting on a couple adaptors to show up and it'll be ready to hold on place more than ever before!

I might have overlooked it, can I ask what tuner your using?

Right now it's a little hoshposh of tuning. A few different collective minds have gotten it to this point but I'll be doing a bit of tuning plus getting some help from gearhead on what needs to be done. I'm not quite at the point where I want to change the tune up just yet

Told Brad about your car and said what numbers you were pushing. We was hella surprised and impressed, told em to check out your YouTube videos.

Idk if I even need to say anymore than this lol. Car makes some cool things..

Way to go Jordan, I loved the flames shooting out when you let off the gas pedal at 135 mph.

I bet people flag you down to ask about this build. That photo is FIRE!

 

[Jordan_R]

Had car dyno'd today. Mustang dyno so it was stingy but I'll take it. No proper torque and dyno in 4th gear

0% wastegate so just spring pressure
424awhp

35% wastegate
484awhp

42% wastegate
506awhp

This is my new favorite SHO photo!

Did the dyno operator burn all the paint off your hood?

Do you think your previous SHO would of made more power than this car if you had the opportunity to tune it??

 

[DDLopes]

Crazy that only 1 or 2 cars have produced more power than Mike’s 617hp even though we now have better fuel pumps, larger intercooler, larger injectors, E85 and better knowledge of tuning than 5-6 years ago. Goes to show that car was the real deal!!!

Negative this thing has a higher ceiling than my last car. Last car on the Gen 3 turbos made 536awhp on a pretty happy dyno. Never dyno'd the gen3r but was out of fueling at the same psi as the gen 3. Car was probably making like 560-570 awhp with the bigger gen3r

Dyno are still pretty useless for a car to car comparison unless they are on the same dyno. This sucker is stingy. Buddy's BMW with a cookie cutter tune that makes 500rwhp on majority of dynos was making like 450rwhp. Considering low timing, 93 octane and it being a mustang dyno. I need to update the entire fuel system. This is just an upgraded HPFP. Still stock injectors and stock lpfp. Heavily dependant on the direct port methanol system. Could easily turn it to 30+ psi and make some crazy power but no real point on the dyno. 42% wastegate is just the beginning! This car already went 11.50 with full weight like Mike's did and a big guy as the driver so curious to see what 600lbs less and some more efficient set up changes will do. Not too crazy about going for the record anymore. I've definitely slowed down a ton in my l-u-s-t for speed, but I guess I have a spare trans sitting waiting if I need it lmao. Engine is the most built transverse ecoboost I know of by far just everything else still lacking

I think it goes to show whatever 1 or 2 cars you’re talking about are fake or amounted to 0 at the drag strip. Just seems like a shout out to LMS.
