    The 4 Valve Turbo L is getting close (pics)

    My welder wanted me to come out and help him plan the final stages of my build. Got there and he had made a ton of progress. Still no bumper on. She's so naked. The 4.25 to 4 inch coupler fits like a champ. He welded a lip to the intake pipe to help with higher boost levels. This...

    My turbo setup is ever so slowly getting there (pics)

    Ordered some more pipe for the wastegate and downpipe work, but my guy is cranking. Nothing like blowing 1,000 dollars on payday for the fab guy.. time to bust out the PB&J for the next 2 weeks.. Driver's side all welded up and clamped. ZOMG WHERE TEH F*CK IS THIS GUY'S ABS UNIT!!! THAT...

    A few pics of my 4 valve turbo progress. Slowly but surely.

    My fab guy called me to come up and take a look at where he's at so far. He ended up doing a great job so far. He had to change the Intercooler outlet to get what he considered an "acceptable fit", and I have to agree I like what he's thinking. Tomorrow he'll be working on the MAF flange and...

    http://nationalhorsepower.com/Dave-Pinks.wmv Here was the run. This time the #3 plug didn't blow up. FlaHP thinks it was a lot faster than the 10.8 from the first race. WAY TO GO GANG!!!

    Fun Ford Weekend Pics and Video

    Yea Yeah, I know we have a Video section, but since 80% of this video contains Lightnings, this is where I think it should be, so keep the :wf: posts to yourself :-D Fun Ford Weekend 2008. It was cool getting to meet a few new faces and putting them with the trucks. The Lightnings made a nice...

    Stock Lightning Throttle Body and TPS sensor

    This is my stocker of my 2003L. 38k on it. Works wonderful. TPS included. I'm going turbo and already have a new TB. Would be great for a polish job! 75.00 SHIPPED anywhere in the U.S. 48

    Pair of 100mm Black Billet Idlers

    Pair of 100mm Black Billet Idlers. I'm in the middle of a turbo build, so I can't really use these. Bearings are freshly packed. They're gorgeous, but my 4V setup just won't accommodate them. grrr. 80.00 SHIPPED in the U.S. 48

    Operation "Make Room for the Snail" (pics)

    Had a chance to get down to my truck at Screaming01L's shop and finish up the wiring last night. Also got my intake manifold all torqued down. All in all a very productive night. This post is just an update since I started last January :D Running the 2/0 power wire from inside the frame up...

    Under Bumper Battery Tray install pics..

    I thought I would post up a few pics of the install. Our trays looked pretty decent as far as fitment went, so we thought it would be no problem knocking out 2 on Monday night. HAHAHAHAHAH!!! YEAH RIGHT! In defense of RuSlow, our trays lined up great. The only catch is that Screaming01L has a...

    Gimme Fuel Gimme Fire! (pics)

    Yes, Yes.. another picture thread from me to keep me motivated to finish this thing. It took over a week to get it done, thanks to JEG's sending me the wrong AN hose size (10 instead of 8) TWICE. On the 3rd order I demanded they Next Day Air it, and it came. The parts.. The results...

    Tranny cooler is IN.. (pics of carnage inside)

    Preface: BIG Thanks to SWThomas for the killer write-up a couple of weeks back. It gave me the motivation to do this mod. Of course, after starting I realized the instructions weren't going to work for me, but he got the ball rolling, and I had to finish it somehow :D Screaming01L and I...

    11 second club.. on the Eaton and Nittos (Video)

    Too bad it's not my truck :( Just wanted to congratulate Her2001 (aka FlaHP) for the killer run last night. Just Nittos and a Heaton got him an 11 second pass. a 1.70 60' is something I'd kill for on street tires. Here's the vid, along with 2 other CRAZY Turbo Mod-motored Mustangs from...

    Black is the fastest color right? (pics)

    I sure hope so, because I thought White paint might look funny :) My new job has me swamped and my pace has slowed on the Lightning a tad, but I'm getting pumped up again. I did manage to drive down last night to Dave's (Screaming01L) and get a few hours in. If you remember, the 1200° Ceramic...

    Yay! New Parts for my turbo build! (pics)

    I know, I know. No one wants to see a post every time some chump buys more crap for his L. Well suck it up people, because I'm trying to stay motivated so I can finish this thing! :banana: I ordered these yesterday morning from D'Agostino Racing and they just showed up at lunch. Now THAT is...
