Rebuild!

Well since I can't view my intro thread anymore, I'll start up a rebuild thread of my car. I'm currently in a rebuilding process with my car. Long story short, it was a Vortech V1 S-trim boosted and FMIC'd stock engine, with TB, plenum, exhaust, etc. Made 13lbs at redline, 411rwhp and 396rwtq with no cool down time on Big 3 Racing's Mustang dyno...and lasted 1 day LOL. Here's what will be going on the car in the next few weeks, and hopefully running by the beginning of April:

 

MMR900 Shortblock with ARP mainstuds, ARP 2000 rodbolts, ARP headstuds, and MMR sideblock bolts.

Spec 8 bolt billet flywheel with ARP bolts

Spec Stage 2+ clutch kit

Twin 03-04 Cobra fuel pumps with 40A BAP

FRPP HV Oil pump

MAC LT Headers with matching shorty O/R X pipe, leading to Magnapacks

Stock heads for now with Comp beehive valvesprings and retainers for future CMS Stage 2.5 blower cams

 

and then of course the V1 blower will be going back on with it all with the same pulley setup (2.87"), 42# injectors, PMAS blow-through MAF, Vortech mini-race BPV, AFM Powerpipe and the 3" intercooler piping.

 

Going for 450-500rwhp ish before cams, and 520-540rwhp with cams.

 

 

Carnage!

I guess I was past due on an oil change :confused:

A little PTV there...

The piston skirts were completely ripped off to give you a better idea of that happened to them. Also snapped one rod, and severely bent the other one to an "S" shape somehow :confused:

 

Few pics of my new parts :)

I'll update accordingly with pictures along the way of the build! Let me know what you guys think!

 

Mods: Sorry for posting virtually the same two threads (my intro thread and this). But since I can't view my intro thread and see what people have to say, I decided to make this one. ;)

Ouch. That sucks. Good luck with the new build. We are actually starting a very similar build starting tomorrow with the same block, blower, injectors, and pumps. The main differences are no headers, a SCT BA5000 maf, and a Prochager Race Valve.

sooo....you blew apart at 411rwhp? wow, built ford tough. was it a poor tune and knocked its self to death?

 

Nope, tune was conservative. No detonation, never went lean. A/F was between 11.2 and 11.6. It was dynoed hot that way. It never had a cool down time, so we guess an hour of cool down time would have net about 425-430rwhp, which is stock internal limits. The power was safe, but the boost was not (13lbs) for the stock internals.

Yep, these cars don't like boost on powdered metal rods and the like.

All good points, but I guess I figured for the money of a new block, parts, assembly, etc, you could at least score a factory 03/04 cobra longblock and push 600-700whp, right?

 

I mean what is the mmr900 shortblock rated for? 500rwhp doesn't seem much more than the 450whp number I've seen thrown around a lot for 4.6 factory blocks.

No worries man, I accept all opinions! The 03/04 Cobras make a lot more cause of them being 4v's and whatnot. The shortblock is rated for 900rwhp...it basically the same as an 03/04 Cobra shortblock. I'll only be able to make that much power because of the small blower, or course if I got turbo, I could be at least 600+...but then I'd also need to beef up the trans, rear end, suspension, fuel, etc. etc. Just going to have as much fun with it as I can while it has a small blower on it :)

Ah, ok, from Jason's post above it made it seem like block was still going to be the limiting factor, so I was just questioning why that was. Now that I understand it's not and has plenty of wiggle room I understand better and approve. I agree, one thing at a time, at least you're doing it right this time. Best of luck on the project.

Got it all together and in last weekend. Got it running on Wednesday. Didn't have the blower on it so the A/F was all over the place so I put the blower on (since it was tuned for that last year) and now she runs mint! Been driving her around the past couple days to get her broken in!
