Big Hp Build, Update May/09/07
#41
well i was thinking of going 3inch, but better safe. i dont want to make it then realize that its not enough.

inake manifolds arent that hard to make really all you need is a flange, runners, velocity stacks, and a plenum. there are entire kits online. th only problem i have is getting the flange and finding someone that can weld aluminum.

here is that site.

im just thinking what design would work best., and if i make my own kit, i can run a big mustang throttle body, which still probably has the same throttle postition sensor as our focus's.

Everybody thinks its easy to make horse power mpcv2000 said it perfectly when he said ur about $3000 -$ 4000 away, theres alot that your forgetting 1st off TUNING i'll tell you righ now if your expecting to put down 400 whp your looking at $1500 atleast 2nd how are you gonna spin the eagle rods you need a serious crank shaft around $500 3rd you said ur looking at a return style fuel system well wake up your looking at almost a g right there in lines and fittings, and ur doing ur own port and polish don't be cheap get it done right you don't want to spend all this money and blow it over a $500 port job one thing i am impressed with yes only ONE is that ur running a mustang gt maf i was considering that myslef but ill see how i do with the stock one wit my piggy back unit but anyways good luck on the build

ps i have no idea what a gm-8 Turbo is, but let ur balls drop and buy a turbonetics or a garrett turbo not someones handy me down turbo

i dont have money for for shinny turbonetics parts,

a gm-8 is a Borgwarner that came of the 6.5L diesels, they are good for 500hp and have stronger center shafts then most garret turbos,

a return style system isnt going to cost me that much, ill use the mercury cougar fuel rail and fpr, then just run a line back to the tank, port and polishing is pretty easy too, i watch a professional do a head, and its not rocket science, it just take a long time, and your have to be careful. and stock cranks are good for 500hp, im just going to get someone to micropolish it.

honestly dude, you blow things out of proportion.

the only real thing that i might blow my engine from is the tuning. ive never tunned before so being a tuning noob i might blow my engine, and im really considering running megasquirt, so that just adds to the problem, learning a whole new system.

but over all, just having some fabrication skills and a little bit of knowledge its really easy.
