Do you still have any of your eaton parts?

Nice build, same stage I am in. What oil relocation kit are you using? If the one in the kit, make sure it is angled down a bit to clear the motor mounts. I just ran into this tonight.

I also went with 80# injectors.

My build is on mach1registry.

Good luck, looking great.

I ditched the oil relocation kit that came from on3. I didn't trust any of the cast alum parts as I've seen issues with them cracking.

I'm using this adapter from Moroso on the engine side.



Then I'm using -10an fittings with Jegs pro-flo hose leading to this Maximum Motorsports oil filter adapter bolted to the back of the bumper support.

Just bought some new wheels for it last week. 18x9.5 and 18x11 CCW Classics w/ satin black centers. 275/35 and 335/30 BFG KDW2

Now THAT is how you do black wheels. Nice build.

Those 80s should go to about 720-750whp on E85

I made 650rwhp on 14lbs on E85 and only using 60% duty cycle of my 120's at 42psi of fuel.

When u expecting to have it done? Im hoping my to be finished by the end of march

[Hmbre97]

80 lb injectors ate going to be way small on e85 if it's boosted unless you have the fuel pressure cranked way up and I don't figure you will.

Ehh, I don't think it will be as bad as you're thinking. I've seen several blower cars make around 700whp with 80's and I shouldn't need as much fuel as a blower car. I may need to increase my FP but not by much. I've got plenty of pump for it if it comes down to that.

Just depends how much HP the car makes. I'd be perfectly happy w/ 700 at 18-20 lbs.

I'm thinking about ditching the KDW2's and picking up Toyo R888's. I like the way the KDW2's look but the last set I owned were noisy and traction was meh.

[crapstang]

I'm pretty sure that's the perfect combo right there. I like the "snake skin" BFGs on there too...they look nasty!
You should've said something to me about the engine! I have one exactly like it sitting in the garage that needs to go. I-beams instead of Hs, though.

[Hmbre97]

Here is one of the few ass end shots I have post-IRS swap. Thinking about polishing the exhaust before it goes back in. Will also look a lot better with those 335's out back instead of the wimpy 275's.

[Sean88gt]

The IRS makes the ass end look a lot better.

Dammit...I should have kept mine.

Turbo kit is the on3performance forward facing single kit. All I'm using from the kit is the plumbing and the intercooler. I'll be using a Masterpower T76 w/ a .96ar.

Ceramic coated headers




All the hotside will be wrapped in PTP lava wrap and the turbo will wear a PTP lava blanket



It'll have 2 Precision 38mm wastegates and a RPS 50mm blow-off valve. I've switched it to a slot-style mass air meter with a Diablo MAFia since my cold side is only 3".
I also plan on putting in an electric cutout on my downpipe shortly after the turbo and routing it out under the front edge of the bumper.


Fuel system consists of a DivisionX hat with twin Walbro 465lph pumps, -8an feed and return and 80lb injectors. Hopefully the injectors will be enough for e85.




Trans is a T56 from an 03 Cobra. I had it rebuilt with with billet syncro keys, bronze fork pads, 26 spline input shaft and a forged TOB retainer sleeve. I also put a lighter spring in the reverse lockout solenoid since the Mach 1 isn't provisioned for that and I didn't feel ike wiring it up to a switch.




Engine is a teksid block and crank from a 96 Cobra. It's punched .030 over with Manley Platinum series pistons with coated skirts, coated Total Seal rings, King engine bearings and Manley h beam rods. All ARP hardware throughout. Should be good for 800hp. Heads/cams are still the stock C heads that the car came with.
