Here are some pics of the turbo progress!

hotmustang331 · Oct 4, 2006

Well you guys have been asking, so I finally got the pictures off my camera phone...darn software problems. Had to download the stuff off the web..but anywho it worked! Im still learning the phone, so the brightness may be off some on some pics...sometimes its fuzzy because im not holding it still I guess. This was as of like 2 weeks ago.....almost everything is off the car right now and just waiting on freegin Jegs to give my my VHT primer...and a little bit of welding left. And yes, hood will be painted...all piping will also be painted with ceremic...so no rust on final install.

These are just some random pics and playing with the phone.

Thanks for looking! Hope to have the car ready to drive by this weekend sometime....most likely next week though. Crap load of little things . Atleast all of the vacuum/boost/wiring routing/plumbing is virtually complete...only thing im stuck on is this, if anyone can help

WHAT WIRE DO I TAP INTO TO CONNECT MY BOOST CONTROLERS RPM SENSOR WIRE? Is it the - side of the COP or the - side of the fuel injector, or somewhere else? Thanks
(NOTE) It doesnt have a little box for decoding like the shift light....and the generic instructions say to splice into the RPM signal wire that the EEC gets, or connect to the - terminal on your COIL. (no s )

Also, here is where I mounted my boost controller
(no its not loose, nor in the way of the shifter....its mounted very precisely, all wiring/line was drilled to the exact size needed....infact from even a direct side view you really cant see behind it)

Is that a right hand drive mustang? Maybe I'm just seeing things......forgive me if I'm just being iggnorant but I was unawhere they existed.

Wow man, really cool. Cars not gonna hook worth **** now Time for some ET drags hehehe

So yeah, that dual inlet is friggin awesome - so much work moving everything around for it though, eh? So much for a daily driver

GOTCHA! LOL I was wondering who would catch it first . Phone has some cool features...that one flips everything around somehow. Crazy, its pretty hard to get the picture right because I kept trying to point the phone in the wrong direction LOL. See post # 2 for real pics

I was confused as hell....but still I do wonder if there is such a thing since I have never seen one. It would be cool to have one if they do exist....for the sake of having something different.

I was thinking the same thing. Hotmustang, although you are a traitor to the N/A club, at least you went on to bigger and better things I wish I had the knowledge and capability to fabricate things like you can, that car will sure be a beast when all is said and done.

Off topic but what shift knob is that? Is it the MGW gripper? How do you like it?

i want ur car so bad I wish i could make my own turbo kit like that. But because of me not having that kinda money right this second i think im just going to stay NA for a while and build her up.

it's october, that's almost christmas, right?

BooWFO · Oct 4, 2006

can't wait to see the finished project.

Ok now for the wiring issue.
Does it need to read all 8 cyl or just one? If one why not tape in by the computer like a shift light.
If it needs all 8 are you going to need one of those tach adapters?

hotmustang331 · Oct 4, 2006

Well it only connects to one wire...it says to connect to the signal wire that goes to the EEC....but I have NO idea where that is.

Thanks guys for the kind words and funny remarks .
Oh and one thing to note is that me and my dad are doing this...he mainly does the fabrication/grunt work and I do all the other crap along with some welding if I need to do something.

His fab skills are awsome though...I seriously doubt I could get it to look that good . We plan what we want to do and since he is very good with angles he can usually get it like dead on in one try.

Oh and San~man, it should have around 4 inches of clearance...actually the pipes themselves are no lower than my LTs/Or X pipe used to be. I think the V band may be a BIT lower though as it hangs down close to an inch under the pipe. But my car is slammed up front, so im going to raise it another inch or so when we get it running....gotta love coilovers

Yea thats the MGW gripper knob...man I LOVE it . Came all packaged up very securely, also came with the allen wrench and some lock tite! Feels great, I highly reccomend that + they look amazing

*looks at Cody's location*
'Nuff said.

Excited to see how this turbo setup turns out.

Looks like sweet progress. I haven't seen the intercooler piping come over top of the support before like that.

Here are some pics of the turbo progress!
