Lund Racing 2011 Mustang Twin Turbo Alpha Car

[2011redcandy]

Thats what I plan on doing, billet oil pump gears.

I love this kit wish they would show the manifolds.... I'm talking with a local shop about doing a custom kit with twin equal length manifolds as well.

Then AGAIN, I'm also toying with not even doing a turbo setup since the stock block is only capable of so much power, I can make 750 on a blower and E85 which is more than the stock motor can handle anyway and have no turbo lag or deal with a different converter for the street.

So many ways you can go, best part of building a mustang!

If you had a product proven to work, where everyone else is having trouble figuring it out, you wouldnt show your cards either :beer:

Turbo doesn't have the parasitic loss of a blower so the internals should see less stress with a Turbo right? Since it makes power more efficiently as long as drive pressure doesn't get out of control shouldn't the stock block be able to get more to the rear wheels safely as opposed to a blower?

So with a decent tire(drag radials/slicks)what do you feel this car has the potential to run in the 1/4?

They've been 10s on stock block
Twin Turbo 5.0 » 10.23@139 – New Record!!!

And beyond that, the block wasnt the issue, the oil pump gears were.

This is an interesting idea. But After some thought and talking to Ken...the point is to show what the kit can do on a stock block MT-82. Therefore...I will just be upgrading to Billet oil pump gears since these are the weak spot of the motor.

As much as it'd be sweet to see built motor numbers, I won't lie I'm excited to see stock motor numbers with a manual trans. I just wish it was easier to swap out to the billet oil pump gears and didn't have to take all of the timing chain getup off...

Understandably so, but its just a manifold that anyone that has fabrication abilities can do. Its not really rocket science this kit, its just done the right way with good parts and guy who knows how to tune.

From a marketing standpoint I wouldnt show my cards either, but being a guy whom is VERY interested in a kit like this I would love to see the manifolds.

After I get my 2013 this summer I plan on turboing or putting a blower on it this winter. I might have to get in on the 1000$ pre purchase plan!

Very true as well, another reason I want a turbo over a blower. It does stress the motor less in theory, I also HATE abusing the snout of a crank with a blower. I always felt turbos were such a better option. If they are spec'd properly they have minimal lag and help with traction anyway.

So many friggin options makes me wanna punch a baby! LOL :rolling:

 

[99riocobra]

Any updates with this?

 

[bull3441]

good luck, and you should at least put a wideband in. the Ford Racing Aluminator block is an option or L&M. i'm partial to L&M.

 

[2011redcandy]

Oil pump gears are in and rear is done. Manifolds and down pipes are about done fabrication.

I have dual aeroforce widebands

The stainless works system is known to be restrictive. Having cutouts I wouldn't worry about it.

I made 960rwhp with the stock SW system....

Prochargers yes, vortech no, the vortech uses the stock tensioner with no extra load

Great idea there. You'll be very happy with the finished product.

Mind if I ask where you put the wideband sensors?

Does your EMS use both or is the second primarily for datalogging? Does it run in open or closed loop at WOT?

Thanks!

 

[Piggy]

How are they rerouting the fuse box location?

 

[StevenStarke]

Any pics of the manifolds coming off of the heads? Are they log style?

Aeroforces are wideband gauges, not sensors, sorry for the confusion. The 2011 sensors from the factory are wideband , these gauges can read A/F, IATs etc right from the OBDII Port.

How are they rerouting the fuse box location?

Not 100% sure of this. Go to twinturbo50.com for more info.

They are custom log design.

12 of the first 20 pre-order spots have already been filled, remember the first 20 come with free in person tuning (they travel to you)

Here are some more pics. Jake fabricating the down pipes. Manifolds are done.

Excellent! Any updates are good updates!
