American Muscle

[theboostedsnail]

Well just noticed this forum and decided i would post some info about my project car...and thus far am lovin the forum :D

Engine: Lets begin, i started with a 1994 Ford Mustang GT...stock, right now as it stands it has 3.73s, smog pump eliminator, underdrive pulleys, and exhaust, nothing else really.
But thas all about to change. I just ordered my new motor yesterday, a new 302 w/ some slight modification :) a full custom built 65mm turbo kit with FMI, 42 lb or 60 lb injectors, 80mm MAF, 75MM TB, Ported Intake Manifold, Special Heads that i have custom done by the Padre lol, all forged SCAT internals with 20.1cc forged pistons and I beam rods, 9.5mm wires, new distributor, .512 lift cam, HD valve springs good for .600 lift, battery relocation kit, bigger strut tower brace, and i think thats about it for the engine for now maybe new crank or bigger turbo in the spring time.

Exterior plans: Now, Cobra 17's with 275/40/17 on the back soon to be bigger, lakewood drag shocks and steeda springs 2" drop, hotchkis control arms, subframe connectors, sway bars.

Interior: A little bit of weight reduction but nothing to serious

I'll post some pics once i get home where all the parts are this weekend

[jasonball]

sounds good bro.

[Kevo]

More Mustangs starting to come around, don't feel so left out...

[BlazinAzian]

Sounds fast.

[theboostedsnail]

the plan is to be extremely fast lol and only get faster once i pick up a daily driver...i want a civic hatch to play with lol break repeatedly...and i am a chevy man with a mustang so im doin what i kno best and makin it fast lol

[theboostedsnail]

Kevo wut you got done to your stang?

[Kevo]

Kevo wut you got done to your stang?

BAD BAD BAD vacuum leak! - lol
:laser:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf7_jilzvQM

Runs a lot better now with the email tune from Brenspeed...

[Discontained]

Nice sounds like a good build.. PIX!

[BlazinAzian]

I like the idle Kevo, can't get that sound from a four banger.

[taxiv]

you can if u have turbo and a nasty cam and waste gate set up lol

[BlazinAzian]

^^^ Not that tone you can't.

[theboostedsnail]

sorry ben you can never make a 4 cylinder sound anything like a v8...now wrx and sti and srts sound good straight piped but still no v8

[theboostedsnail]

Here is the block it will be here december 1st :) the build will start the 7th as soon as iget home from school...cant wait ill take some picks of the turbo, heads, headers, etc when i get home on thanksgiving but here is the block...all forged internals with 20.1cc dish pistons

[BlazinAzian]

Whats a ballpark price for this build?

[theboostedsnail]

well i got extremely lucky on the turbo kit part, but ballpark you are lookin at 2,000-2,500 for the block, a grand for the heads, 3k-4k for the turbo, and maybe another 1,500 for all the stuff like cam, accesory drives, exhaust, head bolts, etc, plus wutever labor would be...which for me is free :), so roughly around 10k build, but mine is way cheaper seein as how i basically stole the turbo kit lol and the heads :)

[BlazinAzian]

I knew this was costing some cheddar. Well I can wait for it to see the track.

[theboostedsnail]

yea my dad who has built everything from grand nationals and supras, which he owned, to nine sec drag cars and a 7 sec truck, projects this on low boost to be near about imposible to keep out of the 10's on drag radials :) so it will be a monster :heh:

[BlazinAzian]

I want a supra, but they are too expensive, along with parts for them.

[theboostedsnail]

ha everyone wants a supra lol its a common want lol but everybody always want the nice 2jz lol no one wants the MKIV lol that what my dad had on 19 psi though lol...but as soon as its runnin most of columbus will kno and ill post vids of it on here and youtube...my name on their is jyoungstang

[taxiv]

i want an rb or sr motor. fudge everything else lol
project car is did a rb25det swap in to a m30 infiniti, shit is sweet!

[theboostedsnail]

ha still a 4 banger :) maybe a fast one but 4 banger none the less lol cant compare in sound to a v8

[BlazinAzian]

^^^cough...inline six not a four..cough, cough

[theboostedsnail]

wait wuts an inline 6 lol im not a big nissan man lol or import for that matter lol i kno wut i need to kno to get by lol

[SteamHammer]

you don't have to be an Nissan or import fan to know what an inline six is. there are lots of variables on types of engines, but i'll just stick with whats being discussed lol. ok, a V6, V8, V10, etc. are named V because that's the shape of the block if you're looking at it from the front. 3 cylinders on one side and 3 on the other, or 4, 5, etc. an inline engine's cylinders are one right behind the other, "inline". there are many different variants of the inline engines as well...inline 4, 5, 6, etc. inline 6's were used as a base engine for lots of classic muscle cars and trucks. the Chevy Colorado has an inline 5. inline 6's are also used in today's best diesel engines including what's in big rigs. another example is BMW M3's, until recently were also using inline 6's...their current best is a twin-turbo inline 6 that boasts 300hp stock. just to name a few :D. and as far as exhaust notes go, i'll take an inline 6's sound over a V8's any day :p. sorry, that was a long post, damn.

[Discontained]

screw your inline6 exhaust notes.. v12 please :)

however, the inline6's with ITB's and straight cut gears = WIN!

[SteamHammer]

bah, V12's don't have enough grunt behind the sound. maybe with a good exhaust, but i'd have to hear it to say it was better than an inline 6'er :ear:.

[theboostedsnail]

i kno wut an inline 6 is like the one in a skyline, the old mustangs had inline sixs i just was not aware the rbs were inline 6 i thought it was a 4 cylinder to be honest

[Kevo]

Jeeps used Inline 6s a lot too until recently...Everyone likes something different.

[taxiv]

rb motors are between a 2.0 and a 2.6L motor inline six. supras have a larger displacement inline 6 with a 3.0L i believe, but the rb shits on it all day long lol until the water pump fails.
heres a pic of your inline 6 mustang block

I was refering to the rb25det. It sounded like you called it a four cyl which i found humorous b/c it is one of the best known engines in the import scene. I was just saying it was an inline six. But if you were talking about the sr20 then yes it is a four banger. Needless to say, they still don't sound like a v8.

[taxiv]

you wish you sounded like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PELMZXS0hPE

[BlazinAzian]

Wished I owned that

[theboostedsnail]

ha yea i was thinkin 4 sylinder and shows my extensive knowledge of the tuner world lol and ben you wish a sentra could sound like that :) and anyone who has functioning eardrums prefers v8 over v6 of inline...granted the supra sounds sick as hell...and you are sick in the head if you honestly think that motor shits in a supra motor lol the amount of supra motors pushin more hp than the rb25 is astromonical but owners choice...but with the whole tuner scene thing the end of my signature should explain it all im a muscle car guy/ domestics...but still respect the import and tuner scene

[BlazinAzian]

I can appreciate a v8, but I would still keep my import.

[SteamHammer]

i love all types of cars, from lifted trucks, bikes, imports, euros, classic muscle to modern muscle. i'm easy to get along with so long as it's done right and clean, not half-ass'd and over-done. i hate to see a car that has spent $20K on the exterior and system and has 150 HP! rather see a basically stock car with wheels, a drop and lays down 500whp.

[98dsm]

I agree i love all types of vehicles. I love individual style and home brewed projects. Motor size doesn't really matter to me but theres just something amazing about a 4 cylinder making 1000+ hp and running 6's. I like supras too but i would get a rb over it anyday. Old supra joke: what does a 600hp, 700hp, and 800hp supra have in common? 11 sec time slips :rofl:. But like stated above everyone has their preference. An by the way i love the way v8 sound built.

agree i respect all cars done right and by preference choose v8, and thats a hilarious joke :lol: its the truth supras are nasty but are def dyno queens for the most part...and its really hard to beat the sound of a well cammed v8 :)

you know what a 400hp and 700hp Supra have in common?






They both run 12's.

[theboostedsnail]

ha they still look better than 240sx etc lol to bad they weigh as much as a mustang :) and damn dyno queens no power band

[SteamHammer]

dyno queens?

i just got a boner after that one...:D..ok, one more

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOOlOLeCOww&feature=related

lots of people build engines for numbers, but lots more use the engines they build for more than the dyno. the 1JZ and 2JZ are fantastic engines, tho Supras are pigs. when drag racing, it's more than HP numbers, it's shifting, gearing, traction, weight and driver as well.

[theboostedsnail]

o im sayin for the majorit
y its used for numbers and i love the 2jz wish i had one and yea its not all about numbers its about puttin them to the ground and more importantly driver mod lol...my buddy actually has a friend with a 2jz single turbo supra for sale...i want it BAD

[BlazinAzian]

I love the supra, I love the Skyline, I love the Evo...the list goes on and on. I can always appreciate a well built car.

[98dsm]

This is something i appreciate

[BlazinAzian]

I've seen the busher guy's evo before, if i ever have enough money to build and mod and Evo, I was gonna get some of thier parts.

[theboostedsnail]

Im a die hard american muscle fan, but god do i want an sti or evo lol...and set back on the build motor wont be here by the 1st but hopefull by the 7th

[theboostedsnail]

well damn new year rolls around and still my motor is not here, but there is a pic of it attached, but o well let there be progress lol here some pics of the build process as it stands :) intercooler mounted no piping yet, headers are tacked in place, dump pipe positioned, all im missin is intercooler piping and crossover pipe then timing etc

[Kevo]

After you get it all back together who is going to do the tuning? You going to need some dyno time to get that beast running as it should.

There is about to be a NASTY '04 Mach1 around town, that is all I will say.

[theboostedsnail]

my dad is gonna get a good street tune on it but i am gonna get a dyno tune and such as soon as break it in and good lol we need some more nasty cars around town seein as how the street scene has died as of late lol...and the turbo is mocked up on my stock motor new motor is supposed to actually be here next week so it will be the only 347 turbo around that im aware of :) gotta be different lol...you got any plans for your stang in the near future

[BlazinAzian]

Can't wait to see it in action.

[theboostedsnail]

You can't wait...I can't wait lol

[Kevo]

Mine is daily driven, so for right now it in finished. Until I find some kind of DD, the stang will stay mild as can be. Maybe one day and 302ci stroker built for low compression to run a saleen supercharger. Family first though, my 1 yr old gets whatever she wants before I get my share of the $$$!

[BlazinAzian]

^ I feel ya, when I turbo'd my dd celica, I was a pain to drive. Not only that I always had to get it in the shop cause something broke or general repair. I was constantly trying to borrow a car. I don't regret doing it but I def agree with finding an alternate ride before hand. That's why I 'm keeping the civic mild right now and bought the CRX for fun.

[theboostedsnail]

yea i feel ya on the DD part i got one lined up just gotta get the crank for it lol...but im runnin around 8:1 compression on low boost somy wstang should be relatvely safe

[theboostedsnail]

more pics
