KStang3.8 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hello, my name is Kevin Van Dyke. I'm from Reynoldsburg (east side of Columbus). I'm going to be a freshman at THE Ohio State University this fall. I have a Red 2001 3.8 V6 Mustang. I loved my car from the first time i drove it. All of the V8 owners are probably scoffing, but i'm proud of my car. After buying it completely stock, I put on a BBK Cold Air Intake, BBK Shorty Headers, Magnaflow Catback Dual Exhaust, Motive 4.10 gears, Ford Racing LSD, and SCT 93 Octane Tune. The difference from when i first bought it to now is incredible. It's still not a V8, but it can hang. I have recently begun buying parts to supercharge my mustang. I am using an adapter made by Super Six Motorsports to but an 03-04 Cobra Eaton M112 supercharger on my 3.8. I have the blower, 39lb fuel injectors, intake plenum, throttle body, and MAF all from an 03-04 Cobra. There's still a few things missing (water/meth kit, 310 lph fuel pump, air intake, adapter), but i will have them all by next summer. I'm very excited. Here are some pictures taken before my dual exhaust (and 1 after). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/frontside.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/backside.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/mustangtailights.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/mustangback.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/side.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/3rdbreaklight.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/magnaflow.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/posi.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/410gear.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/tuner.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I like the project. I have a friend who bought a 3.8 Mustang and built a turbo system for it. He put 347 to the wheels on fairly low boost and only has about $3000 in the whole car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStang3.8 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks. I've seen some nice turbo v6's. I decided to go supercharged because it seemed less expensive but equally as awesome (if not more awesome). i should have all the parts for around $2000 plus install and dyno tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KStang3.8 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks everyone. i've seen 3.8's run tens as well. it takes alot. with every product supersixmotorsports offers and a supercharger i could probably run 10s. but i don't have that much money so i'll stick with the low 13's that i'll be running next summer lol . Gary (pontiacfreak142) already told me about SonicStang03 and i've already been pm-ing him all day lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
