New In Cbus

Recommended Posts

Hello all, moved to columbus last year for a job, and finally getting my build underway.

 

Back in 2007 I bought my first car as a 2000 V6 5spd Mustang with about 90k miles on it. Now at 150,000k miles I've finally got the time/income to mess with it.

 

Currently the engine and transmission are sitting out of it, and replacing it in February will be:

 

94 Supercoupe Shortblock w/ forged crank/rods/pistons

00 Mustang ported heads/intakes

Custom Grind Camshaft

Upgraded springs/retainers

New upper intake

Custom stainless steel turbo kit with Master Power turbo (T3 S50)

39lb injectors

310lph fuel pump

BA 2400 MAF

Wideband/boost/other gauges

 

Tokico Dspec adjustable shocks/lowering springs

CC plates

Swaybars

 

Gforce t5 transmission with 26spline input

Cobra 26spline clutch

 

Cobra 13" Front brakes

New Tires/wheels.

 

Ive been collecting these parts for the past year, so I'm pretty excited to get them all into the car. Been a long time coming, and I look forward to showing the progress of this build on CR.com and hopefully meeting other enthusiasts in the area.

Here's a pic of my car last summer:

Here's taking the engine out:

Its nice being able to pull both the engine and trans since they are both so small:

Heres currently how its sitting at my friends pole barn:

Here's mocking up the turbo kit in my basement to make sure everything fits:

And with the downpipe on:

The downpipe will be reworked to go over my kmember since the guy I bought it from had a tubular kmember, so he was able to work it under. Other then that, come February/March, this thing should be up and running again.

 

Goals are to see roughly 400rwhp/tq with somewhere around 10-12psi. Right now the only thing that I see limiting me will be the 39lb injectors, but thats an easy enough fix should that be an issue.

Welcome and thats def something you don't see everyday.

 

Thanks. I've been researching everything for quite a while. If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me to put a v8 in it, I'd have a new roush RS3. But this has been fun so far, and being 24 I've got plenty of time to build other stuff. I figured it would be fun to build my first car to learn, and catch a couple looks along the way.
