I need to post a write up update here as to what has all been done in this build but just fired it up for the first start since tearing the car down for a full car build 3.5 years ago. I haven't been around here much but only because I've been out working on the old girl day in day out haha. Not much of a vid but just had to test to make sure the new megasquirt MS3X I built and wired all actually worked before putting the dash on/car totally back together for good.
-Ford 8.8/9" rear with custom everything, moser 9" axles, detroit locker, wilwood 4 piston billet disks
-Back half frame fabricated from scratch for an adjustable "factory layout" 4 link and new suspension setup
-dennys driveshaft custom 4" aluminum /chromoly driveshaft
-Lentech street/strip terminator 1100hp tans mating to an EDGE 3600rpm non-lockup converter
-2 turbine intank pumps, to a stainless surge tank which feeds 2 bosche high pressure pumps feeding 8an ptfe/stainless line to the dual feed/dual return rails at the motor to the aeromotive adjustable regulator to feed my 1100hp goal and then some
-all the race goodies and safety setups, trunk batt box
-wheelwells can now take 30x14.5" slicks... running 12x30" mt for the street
-still power everything, remote everything now swell, 100lbs sound insulation added and all the goodies for as much luxury as we can get in the old girl... unfortunately the a/c ain't around because of the real-estate it demands under the hood.
-I've been getting into quite a bit of building/porting for the ford guys and thought after spending 3 years building up the rest of the car... I had to see exactly how many horses we can get out of ford parts so I went to town on er. Cut open/ported/puddle welded/more porting... upper/lower/heads to flow as a single work of physics art and man does it fly lol. Still explorer everything with a re-built mustang bottom end including the stang forged pistons and comp xe258 cam.
-Built A megasquirt MS3X computer to run my full sequential spark via 8 ls2 coils, full sequential injection, controls my 4 fuel pumps, 2 dry nitrous systems (adding fuel via injectors per cylinder specific tuning), 1 wet "just incase nitrous system", 2 electric rad fans on the 3 core aluminum rad, tranny cooler fan, launch/delaybox/2 step... all the race goodies, wideband and complete data logging of endless parameters. Set up for an instant tune swap switch which is awesome being a street driver needing to get mpg 1 minute and let go 500hp at the next light. There are about 70 inputs/outputs and 60 are in use for so many things making the car a dream to get to drive and race soon. Very impressed so far but building an ecu from scratch means weighting tunes so we are still working away at that endeavour.
The old unported mostly original rest of car did 300fwhp/360tq on the dyno, and pulled off a few high 12's passes on 125 shots of nitrous and 4.5 sec 0-60 times at a full 4100lb weight and pump gas. 6.8 sec 0-60 on motor and high 14's.
A quick around the block drive and this thing has allot more oomph to it but will finnish all the wiring/electronics/getting the car together and on the road by spring than I will get numbers and some good vids to compare back. Short crappy vid here but a vid none the less of startup haha, the phone died before I could get anything more than the idle.
Enough gabbing... here's the vid!
