Turbo project progress pics(rough).

Pics or ban!

I didn't realize you and Steve were friends?

lol. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Yeah, as much of a smart-ass as that guy is, he knows quite a bit... And happened to have an extra bypass valve

Cool build up, can't wait to see more pics or vids. This is driving me nuts because I have most of the stuff at home to do the same but I'm at college right now. I at least have my car here.

Let me know how the FMU works out. I was looking to do the same, start with the FMU then possibly switching over to injectors/tuning. I think the FMU I have is a 10:1 though. I believe you said yours is a 12:1. Might have to pick up the kit for the FMU.

Well, I just got a ride in it and I must say, that is quite impressive for only 4 pounds of positive pressure. The intercooler seems to soak all of the heat out of the air easily enough at 4 psi. Way to go Nick!

Dyno coming up soon?

 

[Off Road SHO]

He just had it on a "Cobra" dyno, but I'll let him tell the results.

You're using an FMU?....

 

[nik97]

Dyno coming up soon?

Yes, as a matter of fact. The car is rich with the FMU and the dyno is mainly to get the AFR so I can recalibrate accordingly(12:1 now).

As far as power output(@ 5psi), I'd guess somewhere around 300 to the wheels but we shall see.

More pics to come.

Alright Nik! Glad you got it running. Did you put a BOV in the charge pipes yet?

Yes, I made a stock RX-7 bypass valve work.

I might take it to the Sat. night car show area tonight wich means I will wash it wich means I should probably take some pics

that is just mean

I don't get it.

The "Cobra" dyno Tom is referring to was a little highway scenario I set up with a friend, my SHO and my '96 Cobra. Long story short, the SHO destroyed the Cobra from a 65 roll. The Cobra runs easy mid 13's.

For good measure, we found ourselves an LS1. In this case, a '00-ish T/A M6.
We put about a car him from 50-120 -this guy was more excited about it than we were and told us he love's SHO's and used to have one.

...5psi

Sounds like the car is pretty quick.

I can't wait to get my turbo on. :corn:

 

[Toolman]

The SHO's be loving the turbo!

oh i thought he was making a funny by calling the mustang dyno a cobra dyno.

I take it you are not on 4psi anymore. I can't wait to have my car running again.

and yes tim they sure do love the turbo.

Looks like you did a good job painting them, but the color is.. ah...not for me.
