ENGINE IS IN MWAHAHAHA!!!

[Foxfan88]

got the new engine in today!!!!!! lol got over the hump! down hill from here.... starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, my hard work and effort is starting to pay off! yay

we put the engine and t5 in as one and it was easier than i was expecting!

now all i have to do is assemble the rest of the engine, driveshaft, and exhaust! hope to be done within the next week!

i will try and get pics! and be bustin some 12s

Sounds great, hope it runs good for ya. But I dont see some prted E7's and a ported stock intake getting you a full second in the quarter. I hope it does, but I just dont see it.

You'll have a possibility of being in the twelves, its going to be a hhhigh twelve most likely low 13's definitely. Im in the same boat as you, I've been waiting for my GT40's to come in so finally my car is something to brag about, (well, not the body but its all good) congrats man, hopefully you dont bust out any 16's again heheh

 

[Foxfan88]

lol the 16 sec days are over! i gained nearly 3 SECONDS from 16.8 with basically a t5 swap, gears and good tires. that was a big improvment

one of the best things about working on it, is how clean it is, taking the old engine out, if you just simply touched it, you got so dirty. with the new clean engine, and after cleaning the bay, it looks ALOT better!

good work foxfan I hope it runs strong for you

My thumpers and tmoss lower with a mild cam put my old vert to 13.90@101 with a 1.98 60 ft. the car weighed in at 3800+ with me in it. I think he can attain 12's if the traction is there.

 

[Roland69]

wow my car is just under 3200 pounds without me in it (3/4 tank of gas and some junk in it and no weight reduction)...I weigh about 180+

 

[Foxfan88]

i ran 13.9s@97 with a 1.9 60' with the stock engine i pulled out.

so if i gain say 50 hp from this HCI, with some good tire and if i can manage a 1.8 i think i will be happy with w/e it does!

hopefully it will be a quick street car, with the cam and the stock valves and stock intake. It should make torque down lower than rather than high up with your run of the mill HCI engine.

 

[Roland69]

it's awsome to see you progress like this foxfan. I remember when you ran the 16 with the AOD and always were looking for more....Now you will have a not so average Fox and are pretty well building your own engine and did the t5 swap. I also remember people making fun of you and now what....they are like DAYUM this kid is doing good

 

[poneypower89]

Hows come you never gave any pics to document your progress???

I would have liked to see that.

My Vert was running 15.50's @ 85 mph before the HCI swap. The swap made it VERY Torqey down low. Your gonna like it.

[Hi-Po]

Well done foxfan, I really enjoy reading your posts and watching your progress. Wish I had been doing stuff like that when I was your age - keep up the good work mate!

 

[mattmcdan]

All else fails, spray that 100shot, you will be in the 12's then.
