I've almost completed my build and though I would take a minute to share. I't actually been in progress over the last 4 years. Most of it is either sorced from the jy or built by me. So far I have right at about $6000 invested including the purchase price of the car.

The car/chassis:
-90 4 cyl notch
-8.8 w/ rebuilt 31 spl truck posi and strange sn95 axles, 3.27 gears
-Lincoln LSC brakes on all 4 corners
-homebuilt subframe connectors
-homebuild K-member
-battery relocated to trunk
-Dual F150 Bosch pumps in parallel feeding a 3/8 fuel line
-Hurst Quarter stick mounted in ashtray hole
-C4 built by me (5 clutches F and R, 2600 stall, R servo, Kevlar band, modified VB) (Note: the C4 is temporary until I get my C6 built)
-Fabbed LCR and boxed uppers in poly bushings
-Fully rebuilt front suspension
-94-95 Mustang 17x8 "Tri-bars" w/ Nitto 245/45/17

The engine:
-Stock 351 block/rods/crank
-TRW dished pistons cut to 19cc dish for 8.7:1. Remachined valve notches
-Dart Pro-1 aluminum heads
-Flat tappet Summit hydralulic cam (218/228 and .471 lift w/ 1.6 rocker)
-1.72 Motorsport rockers
-46pph CFI injectors modified for port inject use
-351 truck lower (heavily welded/ported to 302 truck rectangular pattern)
-Custom fabricated upper plenum with stock 4.6L 65mm throttle body
-Homebuilt log headers and 2.5" downpipes
-Garrett 60/.63 T-bird turbos
-Custom IC made from cutdown truck core (25x16x3 core dimension)
-SpeedBrain ECU for dual MAF and low imp injectors
-Dual 70mm mustang MAF meters

My goal is to make this my daily driver in the summers and still be able to eventually squeeze a 10 in the 1/4. I'm shooting for 600 fwhp on pump gas. Pictures to follow

I would like to see your "K" member, also is the "BridgePort" in your garage or at work?

Looks Great.

Thanks.

 

How are you going to wire the 2 maf's? Interesting build anyhow.

 

PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE tell me that i do not see bov's at the turbo inlet. Please tell me that's ONLY the recirculation ducting. And why two maf's??

 

Dude, great fab skills, i give you that. Now, if this was my ride, here is what i would do. I would not SPLURGE for the two mafs. I would take the outlet that comes on your drivers side right before it enters the TB and make a pipe that goes to your tb. However in that pipe i would put ONE maf and ONE flange for a BOV before the MAF. That little tube you have running to recirculate your bov isn't going to do shit for you except blow IC pipes.

 

BTW. I think your bov's are on backwards.

 

SStang,

I don't have any good pics of the K-member but it pretty much looks like any aftermarket version you can buy. The bridgeport is in my garage right next to my lathe.

Red91StangCT,
Thanks for the comments. Those are bypass valves not blow off valves. Where they are attached to the compressor inlet is actually where the boosted air is returning. I've run this style of valve with the air blowing both directions and they work in both directions. In this style routing the boost pressure is helping ot hold them closed which I believe is more fail safe.

The reason for 2 MAF's is because my aftermarket ECU is setup to read two MAF's. This gives me the advantage that I can not only retain them as draw thru but I can also get away with smaller factory meters which are more accurate than many of the aftermarket versions. If the ECU causes issues or there is other issues that arise from runn two MAF's it will pretty easy to swap to a blow thru in the inlet pipe before the TB as you mentioned. Hopefully I won't have to go that route.

Steve

 

what i/c is that ?

 

AHhh...now i see. I stand corrected. Hurry up and get some dyno numbers, that way it will give me an excuse to blow the stocker and switch to a 351.

 

The IC was originally from a semi truck. Originally it was about 30" tall and had huge 5" inlet and outlets. I cut about 14" off of it and made new tanks specifically to fit my car. The cooler was free and I paid a budy $20 to TIG weld the tanks on for me. I made it as big as I could possibly fit.

Steve

 

wow great build sir

 

nice

 

Definitely away from the "norm"

Keep us posted!

 

wow that turned out great good build man.

 

I think tomorrow I should be ready to fire it up. Wish me luck. I've gone through every inch of this car and it's all untested at this point so I'm not getting my hopes up that it will go on the first try.
