So I ended up getting a used t60 from a HP kit.

And away I went

Did the piping in 2.5 from the stock shorty type headers and put her together.


It is actually an 88 Mustang

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Looks good! What carb did you use?

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

I ended up using a Quick Fuel blow throu jobby. I wanted a CSU but I got a really good deal on this one. Really good deal. When I talked the guys from CSU I would definitely recommend them . I am just on a nothing budget and this is what I could afford.

The actual piping was easy enough to do. I think next time I would put it on the drivers side instead. With no powersteering there it would be an easy fit to do.

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Looks like you have been busy Lars. Have you driven it yet?

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Yes sir indeedee I did and it boogies. I still need to have a good tune done on it. I am sitting at 8lbs right now and it smokes the tires real good.

Once I get some numbers I will post them. Did you still need a timing cover?

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

No, everything is peachy. I should be lighting mine up tomorrow. I can't wait to drive it. It too will need a tune. I will probably take it to P+ in Saskatoon since a buddy owns it. He has a 1750hp Mustang dyno.

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Hopefully have time to do the new ignition this weekend. MSD 6 with billet distributor and such.

I am taking mine to Horsepower solutions for the first tune.

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Well thanks again to this site. Ihad a bunch of sputtering around 5000rpm and search around a bit. So then I am reading that to much gap will kill the spark . Sure enough I gap the plugs from 50 thou to 30 and the thing pulls hard right past 5000 in all gears. This turbo thing is just genious , next I am going to try the real ignition and then maybe take her past 7.5 pounds of boost, thanks again all you guys on here.

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Sounds like you are getting it worked out and having some fun besides.

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

I went for a hour long cruise here earlier and I was getting eye balled by a couple of bikes but no takers.

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Looks good!!

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

So here is an update. The motor lasted about 200km under boost. Rod knock Motor was a very miled out motor I paid 7 bucks for.

I have since put in another 5.0.

This on has f303 cam ARP head bolts and a single plain instead of a perf rpm air gap.

I have noticed it makes boost faster with the f303 compared to the stock cam.

Did not really notice a huge difference with the intakes

Did not quite make it for a 1/4 mile time end of the year, hoping to make it for a dyno before winter though.

Plans for the winter include Msd billet distributor,6a box with rev limiter,might change intak piping to clean it up a bit and look at a meth kit.

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Finally got around to Dynoing the wreck.


She made 410 Rwhp and 460 Rftorque at 12psi 5500 rpm

Horsepowersolutions here in Edmonton did an awesome Job. Very impressed with his tune

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Sweet man, glad that motor worked out for you.

 

Re: 82 Rustang Finished pics

Thanks again it is awesome. Bit snakie with stock tires but the drag radials are the way to go. That F303 works good with the turbo. It is dial in safe so it will last a bit. Hopefully the rest of the drivetrain does.

 

what are you using for an ignition?
