OGRE

look out in this area heading east in the moring too. they like to hide at the top of the hill, and even though they are right in front of you you can't pick them up that easily because the sun is at thier back and in your eyes. i've seen this a couple times in the last couple weeks.

double post, i would like to make up for it by linking to the site above, hot chick, not quite nude, but she's hot. sorry.

first gear in a t-56 with 3.73's would be about equal to putting 3.42's in with your t-5.

That's what i was going to say, that is he wasn't dead set on a stick, a TH350 would be cheap and work too.

like he said, good luck.

Another thing to think about is that the t-56 ratios aren't very steep, compaired to the t-5, with one exception being 1993. You may be disappointed with your acceleration after the swap, also consider the t-56 is a heavier unit too.

 

t-56 (1993) First 2.97:1, Second 2.07:1, Third 1.43:1, Forth 1.00:1, Fifth 0.80:1, Sixth 0.62:1

 

t-56 (1994-02)2.66:1 first, 1.78:1 second, 1.30:1 third, 1.00:1 fourth, .74:1 fifth, .50:1 sixth

 

t-5 Gear Ratios: (1st) 2.95:1 (2nd) 1.94:1 (3rd) 1.34:1 (4th) 1.00:1 (5th) 0.73:1

Worst comparison EVAR.

 

First of all, nitrous Pete doesn't have 1300rwhp, he has MAYBE 1,000hp AT THE CRANK.

 

Secondly the cobra block is a different beast then what's in his GT, the iron cobra block has a 6 bolt main for starters (well, 4 bolt mains with cross bolts) not to mention the fact that it comes with forged pistons, rods, and crank from the factory. Not shitty ford forged stuff, but actual after market equipment.

 

Fuel is NOT the tricky part, that's pretty simple. Big injectors, big lines, big pump, big regulator, and a FAST stand-alone. The tricky part is getting those POS SOHC heads to flow enough to make any power, and keeping the motor together in the process.

I miss quoted you are right it's more like 700rwhp, i was thinking 1200 from the pete vs. D'Amore shootout in MM&FF, somehow that number didn't seem right when i typed it either to me, sorry i'm too lazy to proofread.

 

Secondly, I already said that the internals could not take it, thanks for reiterating that for me. But you are mistaken, every iron block used in GT's has had 6 bolt mains (all GT's are iron block)in fact the only 4.6l block (aluminum or iron)not to have crossbolted mains was in 91-92 Cast NO.F1AE, and it did have cross bolts except in the rear main. wierd, I know.

 

Hey bro. the fuel system crack was a joke, for some reason visualizing a dude feeding a 1000 hp engine by the way of a 5 gal. bucket on the hood

of a car was amusing too me. sorry.

i'm not a hond guy obviously but we have these problems on mustangs too. usually happens when we install long tube headers that put the O2 sensor farther away from the motor and it doesn't get hot enough.

 

as for it not coming on for a couple days, did you disconect the battery during install? it takes the computer a few heat cycles to adjust and recognize that someting is different.

does anyone know if a factory mustang romeo block will take that kind of power? and what would i need to do to keep the heads clamped down?

 

i don't even want to think about the fuel system requirements... redface.gif

1. on a GT romeo block .... HELL NO. the block should be fine it's the internals that won't take it.

2. the heads will stay buttoned up fine. Nitrous Pete is putting over 1200rwhp on his 03 cobra engine and the bottom end and heads are untouched.

 

fuel that's the tricky part, you need a good friend to stand on the hood pouring racegas into the manifold via 5 gal bucket

to me his question reads :

why is there turbo lag, according to physics shouldn't it be under boost all the time?

 

just a thought but everyone addressed why there is lag between when you stomp the throttle and when the turbo(s) spool up very well. But the explination of why the motor isn't constantly under boost was not, (which is what i think he is asking) of course

and the answer to that would be just to say that the turbo doesn't make boost while it's not under load. again, i have been known to be wrong before.

Dyno numbers are in sig. Dyno graph on my site.

I saw you draw that dyno with crayola man. graemlins/bsflag.gif
