here is a pic of the engine compartment right now, kinda empty. If you look closely you can see the new K- member that is in the car. the coilovers are in there as well but not much to see there.

the new upper control arms.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/nmdolan11/metcocontrolarms.jpg
got the lowers that match up at DB

and of course
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/nmdolan11/turbo2.jpg

Also figured out more baout the rear end setup. it is going to be a Strange 9" with 35 spline axles with the 8.8 ends so that i can retain the stock brake setup. it will have 3.30 gear ratio with a detroit locker tru track locker unit. No spool. Got the metco upper and lower control arms.

Any of you guys have anything going on?

Cant wait to see it bolted back together and the numbers it produces

someone on another forum asked so here it the story behind the build and all the crap thats going in.

well for those that don't know the story, i buent up a cylinder in october. so the motor has been bored .20 over and honed. stayed with the stock crank and rods, but put in 17cc dished cp pistons and rings to match. all new gaskets obviously and much upgraded head studs to keep thhose buggers down under boost. i also got a 99/01 intake powder coated with a twin 62mm accufab throttle body. got the hellion t-76 s-trim with the BB upgrade, in order for the down pipe to fit you need the k-member and the coilover and suspension componets come with the kit. i also have a new sumped fuel tank with an aeromotive eliminator fuel system with 96lb injectors and the matching driver box. also got the RAM street dual 300 series clutch and 26 spline input shaft along with the stainless throw out bearing retainer. Tradin out the IRS for a Strange 9" solid axle with 35 spline axles, tru track locker and 3.30 gearing. Got metco fully adjustable upper and lower rear control arms to finish that off. I also picked up a steeda clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. I also picked up the LDC head cooling mod to prevent the heat build up in the head that caused the problem in the first place.All told it is about $17,000 worth of parts.

Looks pretty sweet. Cant wait to see the numbers it produces.

Very nice, I'm quite curious about the power it'll generate as well. Are you doing the install? If you need a hand, I'd be happy to help since I'm looking for ideas for what to do with mine and enjoy learning/wrenching!

Nate

The car is acctually up at Db performance. I don't have the equipment to pull and drop the motor so they are currently handling that. one guy on svtp with basicaly an identical setup maxed out and 800rwhp dyno on 24psi.

damn

Update, motor, clutch, tranny, turbo are back in the car. just waiting on the rear end a fule system now.

I only have a Whipple going on!

^haha looking good indeed. i only have a paint job goin on [&o]Maybe FI in the near future though. congrats again on the helion, oughtto be nuts

looking great so far!

hoping to have the rear end in and get it all buttoned up in the next 2-3 weeks.

Looks great.....I like it.

Why are you going with the 330 gears and not something a little more steep?

HURRY UP! :D

Why are you going with the 330 gears and not something a little more steep?


Probably because of the turbo power instead of S/C. Turbo's work off of load where S/Cs work off of RPM. I was going to ask him the same question. My 4.10's are way too much for my turbo and don't put a load on the motor like a shorter gear.

Hopefully he sees this and answers. I was talking to my shop about the 4.10 vs 3.55/3/73 and they and everyone else I asked who new anything about turbos seemed to point towards the 3.55s because of the turbo.

Anyways. . .

i am doing 3.25's for a coouple reasons. first off for the track i want to be able to be doing at least 145-150 mph at the top of 4the and with a taller gear i would be having to shift into 5th which is an overdrive gear before the traps. 2nd having longer gears will give me more time in the power band. i should be spooled by 3700 rpm's or so based on other expierince. with the longer gears i will have more time at full boost than with a taller set up. Most 6sp turbo guys run about a 3.27 gear ratio fyi. because i is not belt driventhe rpm of the motor really does not matter. likeone guy said before it is based on the load more than anything. not to mention is should hook better form a dig.

Since you plan on trapping 140-150 are you guessing your car will run in the mid 9s? Pretty bad ass if so....

with an auto trans it would be mid 9's, i think high 9's with the 6spd though. i got to prictce power shifting, never really done it before.

beautiful!

i'd say anywhere in the elevens with a really nasty trap. i wonder why you didn't do twins

11's ? i hope you're kidding. i would expect mid 10's or so on dragradials. add slicks and skinnies and about 4 thenths off the 60 and i think low low 10's or high nines are a possibility. i didn't do twins because hellion did not make a twin kit at the time. amond other reasins llike spool time and tunability.

a few i took today.

what is the static compression? Are you running stock cam grind? Are you going to be running 100 octane or higher to get 800hp
Nice little race car you have built your self!

not sure what the static compression is off the top of my head, with the changes. stock cam grinds, looking at either 110 or c-16 for fuel on high boost levels.

looks phenominal so far bro! makes me wanna get started on mine asap.

looking very nice. im building a 99 cobra motor from ground up with forged internals and ported and polished heads off an 03 cobra and dopping it in my 2000 GT.

cool you doing any FI on it

damn bro that set-up is coming a long nicely. cant wait to see the numbers. It almost makes me want to go back to turboing my Slo-Bra. unfortunatly im choosing to sell my car ina few mo. and buying something already turboed....that way i dont have to run piping and the rest of the supporting mods....lol

BTW...your front suspension wouldn't happen to be UPR right?

not yet due to funds lol. hopefully next winter though. im looking at getting a vortech supercharger set up and possibly a little squirt of nitrous during the summer.

your car is gonna be sicckkk. So i hear some people asking why you didn't do twin turbo... In the aspect of turboed cars if you choose the right sized single turbo its just as good as a twin turbo with the same ammount of boost lag for both setups so there is no real pro for running twin turbo except for the location of the turbos. And when you add more stuff to your car and everything and have to upgrade turbo you don't have to buy 2 units only one. And i think you will run a mid ten for your first shake down pass haha. And with power shifting im guessing 9.6 at 145.8 haha im just guessing. And have fun with it bro!!! Let us know the numbers when they come in???

Alright, now we're getting somewhere. What is the timeframe?

i am expecting to have it ready to roll by the end of next week or the week after. all comes down to when the rear end shows up. i have to get that in and then messure for the new driveshaft length. hen i am going to have to get about 700 miles or so on the new clutch and motor to break it in for the dyno tuning. i would hope to have some numbers by 2nd week in march with any luck.

looks %#*ing amazing can't wait to see #s, and times. Only problem wasyou justcosted me 1.25$,I had aDr. Pepper craving.

ha ha, the Dr. Pepper thing as just a running joke we have over on Ricekiller.com one of the other forums i am on. i just copied the pics over. Gotta salute with a DP or its a fake.

Update: it is just about done. had some hang ups with the rear end fitting and drive shaft. the new driveshaft is on order and just the fuel system needs to go in. here are some pics.

I wouldn't do that whole flame thing... Maybe something else, but not that.. looks tacky imo...

Your car looks amazing. And I wouldn't do the flames on the front either but that is just my opinion. Keep up the good work.

nope has not been run yet so no numbers. need to get the eliminator pumps on and get the fuel going. and then the longer drive shaft we ordered today needs to go in.

should have some soon. i am getting anxious. it has been down since october.

as far as money in the car including the original sticker price of 36,500+ttl i am somewhere between 65-70k invested in this car.including everything. so yeah it is getting up there lol.

I didn't know you bought that carb rand new... damn.

i didn't i got it used, i was just using the sticker price to represent the total value investment of the car.

i personally paid 27k for it about 2 1/2 years ago. so i persnally have spent about 55k or soon the car so far.

how come your not keeping the stock supercharger on it to make loads of boost?

your car makes me think back to that cobra they had in one of the mustang mags,
stock 04 cobra that the threw hellion twins on with only an exhuast and made like 1200 hp, like 38lbs of boost after turbos and s/c
ofcourse theres no way the stock bottom end or irs would handle it very long but it was amazing.
im soooo jealous of your car.
ive got a 95 gt that i'll be putting a 347 stroker in next weekend.
wanna trade?
please?:eek:

the hellraiser kit was not released yet when i bought my turbo kit and i had already sold my blower stuff to help pay for it, otherwise i might have tried that out. i think i will keep my car lol but thanks for the offer. my wife would kill me i i gave it up after all this.

Keep up the good work. can't wait to see what numbers she puts down. digging the black manifold too;)

there will be some videos for sure!

If you wouldnt mind, I would like to see more pics of the header/y pipe and how it is run to the turbo. is that pipe coming off your down pipe for the egr?

sweet thanks man!

Love the wheels, I would get some slicks/skinnys if I had a solid rear. I got the CCW 505A's.

Im just running the turbos, no supercharger.

is yours done now then? what size turbos did you get? and what kind of numbers did you see? how much boost?

Hopefully when im a class A owner operator truck driver, i will be able to spend that much cash in my cobra [03 btw]

thats a bad as$ ride bro... keep us updated with your numbers

looks good man . youre going all out , you still got a/c on it ? what type clutch you got i see its a d/disc, alum or stell flywheel ?,and are you still gong to be able to make long trips. or just a 1/4 mile car.thats lots of $$$ there.

Please post up the final cost.

It still has Ac and power steering and all the usual ammenities. It is an alum. fly wheel, with a RAM street dual 300 series clutch. It will be able to make long trips. i plan to drive it to sturgis for the sturgis mustang rally in august.

ORIGINAL: jlg32281

Please post up the final cost.


you don't want to know lol.


seriously though including all the parts,labor machining cost and everyhting that is involved it will be between 24-25k spent. I don't have the final numbers in hand yet but that is the ball park.

thanks , turbos sound sick!, i took the easy way out,
you stop modding when its so 'RAD.' you can barly drive it.:D

should be easy to drive, just stay out of boost, and it is fully adjustable. should be able to make as little as 525-550 hp iof i only run 13-14 lbs

u really need to try it at first i was shifting normal till somone told me about power shifting
bad thing is from first to 2nd and maybe 3rd ud be sidways down the track
im not sure if it messes with anything i hope not but its been good to me so far lol :D

It runs!!!!! I stopped up there today but did not have my camera with. I heard it idle and everything seems good. It sounds BADASS with no mufflers on it even at idle. Only issue right now is that the tune is incredibly rich. basically 10.o at idle when it needs to be at 14.5 or so. Dan is working on the tune tonight so hopefully it will lean out and it can be first in line for allignment tomorrow. It sounded mean although the rich condition could be causing it to chop a little more than it will in the end. it reminded me alot of a bigger displacement motor with an agressive cam set up. I should be able to get a video up tomorrow.

Car looks amazing and sounds like it is going to be one bad machine. Are you using the stock cams or did you replace them with a more aggressive set?

they are the stock cams as of now.

a quick video of it idling, nothing special though.

Cars looking really good man. Wheres the link to the video? Post up some numbers when you get it back.

Final cost for everything, parts, labor etc ended up at $26,982.03. That does not include the slicks and elds i bought. and I i also supplied some of my own parts like intake manifoldand upper and lower control arms, and some other stuff. It got very expensive with all the little changes i made. We did not cut any corners anywhere on this build.

So when are you gonna give it to me?

Sounds healthy :)But when you goin' to lose the door bell ;)
