Looks like the car isin't getting painted again. New build.

[281pony]

i was prowling CL as usual, i had some cash set aside i was gonna use for paint. i just recovered from my torque arm stuff, so it wasn't much yet.

i stumbled upon this, picked it up for.. ready? 900 bucks... NEW on3 turbo kit WITH injectors and maf. gonna throw it on the stock shortblock as soon as i get some gears in the rear swapped out. hope it holds 400-450 rwhp for now the kit has the 70mm turbo with it, 44 lb injectors.

 

[S&B]

good deal now its your problem LOL

 

[281pony]

the on3 kit? lol.

lots of people making good power with them. it should work for awhile and get me into turbo's i think. unless you have other experience?

 

[Cobra912]

what's with you WA boys all having to have turbos? must be some type of virus! lol

nice find, waiting for build thread

 

[281pony]

i thought the same thing, lol. we all have the on3 stuff too. crazy..

i did some reading, then some testing to my kit. i have the newest kit without the SS headers. i feel pretty confident in everything for my HP goals especially.

i want stock block survival hp. so i'm gonna aim for like 400-425 at the wheels. my setup now is 300 rwhp, so it will be one hell of an increase.

not until its here sir

 

[fiveohwblow]

not until its here sir

LOL alright alright. I will keep from spoiling any surprises

 

[Cobra912]

what?

 

[281pony]

well i didnt wanna jynx myself too early on.. but

i traded the turbo kit for a vortech SI trim kit. with FMS injectors/PMAS maf, ect. i just felt alot more comfortable with a blower setup for now.

working on rounding up gauges and such now. hope to get it installed pretty quickly and see if my shortblock takes it. should it not handle the 400rwhp i want, ill freshen it all up, custom cam, build trans, ect over winter.

otherwise i'm gonna run it and store money away for upgrades as needed. the vortech is not here til monday, so i hope this trade goes over smoothly.

NICE, i am getting the i kit i hope near the end of this month.

 

[Cobra912]

should be a pretty easy install vs the On3 I would think

 

[mob]

I think you should kept the turbo, but 900 for the on3 kit or that whole s-trim kit is a steal either way.

smartest thing anyone on this forum has ever done

[281pony]

some updates..

blower arrives monday.

gonna ditch the mark 8 fan in favor of the dual contour setup for clearance. so i can eventually go to an 8-rib setup. going to get a fan on monday after work.

bought some stuff for crankcase evacuation setup. turbo coupe pcv valve, inline filter, breather. might eventually go to a remote breather setup as $$ allows.

got new cobalt boost/vac, electric fuel pressure and wideband gauges coming this week. hopefully have time to get gauges and fan done. thursday a couple awesome members from stangnet are coming for the install party.

i will owe them big time for any help they are willing to provide. car should be dyno'd a week or possibly just days after install. depends on cash and complication costs.

 

[Cobra912]

yeah I run the dual contour with 3 row and 8 rib pulley

 

[281pony]

right on. i am just sporting the 3.33 pulley for now. i think i can get by without slip for the time being.

wallet is down for the count after this weekend, haha.

pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[281pony]

ill see if i can get some up tomorrow john.

gotta get the blower at work, then punches for the oil pan, then down to onalaska for the junkyard fan, then back to olympia for the return line fitting, then to ford for my pcv valve, then to lowes for my inline filter, then cutrate auto for my spark plugs. haha

not sure if i can even get it all done before the shops close on the plus side, i will get to drive the notch alot before i put it down.
