Well I use to mess around with this all the time and kept blowing engine after engine , mainly from my own stupidity and never really having a way to tune it. I have been busy with other projects and never had time for this.
But just recently my daily driver (2010 Tuarus SHO) decided to lose compression on cyl #6. So I figured I would get my 93 notch up and running again but the way it should of been years ago. I.E. New unmolested hacked up PIMP specific harness and a PIMP its self to finally have a way to tune this and get serious with it and some other goodies on its way thanks to stinger.
The set up going in it now is fairly straight forward and simple , here is the run down:
-110k Long block out of a 88 Merkur xr4ti
-Stock "bigger" Garrett turbo
-Large intercooler I stole from my Pro Turbo Kit for my cobra (Inlets and outlet on same side, should make for cleaner routing with stock facing intake)
-Bo-Port Header with Stingers 38mm external waste gate (will be using a conversion to mount the t3 turbo to this header)
-Full 3 Inch exhaust from turbo back
-Stock throttle body from 94/95
-Gutted upper intake mounted to a knife edged lower
-Stock #35 injectors with a Walbro 255 in tank
-I do have a cam gear although not sure if it will be needed with the stock cam
-World class T5 from a 5.0 with a Centerforce Dual friction clutch.
I have some valves and springs and a couple of good un cracked heads that I have waiting to be ported for some more fun down the road aswell.
As you can see it is a completely stock long block with some good quality bolt ons.
The main goal for now is to get it running as it should with all the kinks worked out and in a nice driving form as this will become my new daily while I fix my SHO.
Once I get it in good working condition I will begin trying to go a little further into some power. This car will be ran on 92 octane. SO I am not sure of what boost I will shoot for , will have to play around with it and see what I can get away with.
I am really excited to see how fast I can get this car with a completely stock long block and turbo. My goal is to get it into the mid to upper 12's and somewhere around 275-280hp. If I can get that, I would be very pleased for a stock car more or less. Do you think that is achievable? Let me know what you guys think and if there is something I am over looking.
I am looking for suspension parts as we speak, will be getting a Tubular K member / coil overs and some rear suspension upgrades as well here shortly.
