We have made some progress on the car but still have a lot to do but thought I would start a small build thread about what the car is going through right now.
Coyote swapped it a few years ago and it ran exceptionally well, but us car guys know it's never enough. So last summer I added some nitrous to it and the 2011 GT engine had enough and let go. So this winter has been a busy one and I'm looking for some 9 second passes this year!
First here is what the car looks like for those who may not know.
Old engine is out of there....
I think I found the problem haha
Decided to go the 15+ short block for now. And build another sleeved engine down the road.
CG Fab headers showed up for the start of the turbo kit
Heads back from the machine shop, Everything was good with them, only did a slight mill on them to clean them up.
Engine & headers are in the car. Going to have to move the power steering lines around and put the reservoir somewhere else
tubular bumper bar built and ready to be welded and put on.
Treadstone intercooler Mock up
TURBO SHOWED UP!!! It's quite large, Getting it to fit in there is going to be a slight challege. Borg Warner S475 by forced inductions with a 1.10 A/R, T6 housing, and 92mm wheel.
Turbo mock up to gauge an idea of where everything will go and what kind of piping/bends need to be ordered.
Going to have to move or tilt the radiator a little to get some more room
New ID1050X injectors are here. Fore fuel system is on it's way as well!
