Next round coming soon?
SVT GI’s 97 Cobra Build – C Heads / Auto / Twin Turbo
- Thread starter SVT GI
- Start date
Yes Sir! Next round is fuel system and twin turbos. Been ordering the parts when I can and starting to stock pile them now. Since then I've just been putting some miles on it, right about 500 miles on setup now. Decided to keep the On3 kit but upgrade wastegates, BOV and Intercooler. Personal goal against the On3 nay-sayers lol.
Parts I've got in so far:
- Glenns 03/04 tank
- Fore dual 465lph hat and pumps
- Division X fuel rails
- 2x Tial MV-R 44mm wategates
- Procharger Big Red Race BOV
- Eboost 2 boost controller
- Moroso catch can, powder coated, lines and fittings
Parts still needed:
- Bosch 1200cc injectors
- Regulator, filter, lines and fittings
- 03/04 fuel level sending unit
- Treadstone TT 1200hp intercooler
- Oil filter relocation kit
- Upgrade my single AEM wide band to Innovate dual wide band
- Donathan Racing front crash bar
- Vacuum distribution block, fittings and lines
- Misc cold side pipes, some welding and powder coating
That should wrap up the next round and start making some real power.
Cool.
Awesome build and nice work!
What size twins ?
61's for now
Are you doing a custom turbo set up or like on3 or hellion?
Guess a lot has happened over the past few months! And guess I have to go back and update pics in this thread.
Had to tear into the motor and replace the oil pump. The 3V pump I was using with some billet gears had a little too much clearance in them and hot idle oil pressure was about 9-11 psi. Swapped it out with a Boundary billet geared GT500 pump, all is good now.
Finished fuel system
- Glenn's performance tank
- Fore dual 465 hat
- -10 feed/-8 return
- aeromotive regulator
- div x rails
- HPI Bosch 120lb injectors
I've run the traditional return setups in my previous cobras, regulator post rails. It works, but wanted to give the debatable "dead head" return setup a try to keep returned fuel temps down.

After putting in fuel system, I started modifying the On3 twin turbo kit. Cut off the t3 flanges and welded on v-band flanges. Swapped out the .63 AR turbo hot sides for 1.06's. Got rid of the On3 intercooler, oil filter relocation, wastegates, BOV and cold side piping.
Used a Treadstone intercooler and of course the mounting flanges were backwards from how I wanted to mount the intercooler. Cut off mounting tabs and flipped them around.
Started with a CG fab oil filter relocation block adapter. Was hoping it would work as is but had to modify it to fit the forward headers. Kind of made it like a 2v block adapter.

Used a Fore Innovations vacuum distribution block mounted in passenger fenderwell and converter all vacuum and boost lines to hardline push to connect fittings.
Went Tial 44mm wastegates and a Procharger Race BOV. Tabbed up 3" to 3.5 " cold side piping.
As you can see I finished up my catch can setup too. -12 lines

Some random pics from underneath
Now that it's caught up. Tuned the car yesterday! Pretty happy with the results.
Red file-street tune, 93 pump gas
Blue file- race tune, c16
Analog= boost
I kept it pretty conservative on the race tune, there's more left. It was getting late so I called it good for now.
I've got a short 10 sec video too but having trouble uploading it here.

Holy shit that's awesome power for pump gas!!!
Outstanding numbers! Really top notch build, love what you've done!
Where did you source all of your fittings and lines from for your hard, push-to-connect vacuum lines? I've been intending to convert all of mine for quite a while now, just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks man! I wasn't expecting almost 19lbs for the street tune. I put 14.5lb springs in the gates thinking it would make a little less psi and I could bump it up with the controller to 15 or so. But the 18.xx lbs is what it's making for gate pressure so I might respring it later on.
The motor is solid and my tune is safe so it should be good to go as a street tune. I use to run my 04 kenne bell mammoth at 19 lbs for years as a street tune so in comparison, it's good. The challenge is hooking 800+ on the street.
Btw, man can't believe the luck you've had with your car and the motor recently. The Will is strong with you! I'm glad it coming back together and such a work of art!
Yeah over here on the base. I go to the cars and coffee events every now and then but hope to be at gateway more frequently this spring.
I got the distribution block, a few fittings and the 1/4" line from Fore Innovations. Mounted it in passenger fender well. Yanked out the 2 barbed fitting from the intake lid, drilled and tapped for 1/8" NPT and used 3/8" fittings with hard line to feed each end of the distribution block. Then 1/4" feeds to all the accessories.
See two lines from intake to inner fender
Distribution block, fed on each end with 3/8" lines from intake. Fore sells the oring an fitting with 1/8 NPT for the block.
Even took the barbed fittings off the temporary turbosmart manual boost controller and converted them. Didn't want any line issues.
A place I found and ended up getting the majority of my push to connect fitting is MSC Industrial Supply https://www.mscdirect.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductsHomeView they had the 3/8 line and the tricky fitting was the 1/16npt to 1/4 line for the regulator. Great customer service and had the stuff next day.
Thanks man.
