ok few more pictures this is the motor and yea its in the kitchen and no my wifes not happy about it at all.....but she will get over it

 

[stanggt00]

here are a few more pictures the build is coming along fine
i just set the timing was not all that hard once i get every thing to line up then i did a 360 turn on the crank to check for valve to piston problems it turn with out incident so i am happy ....so far so good

i over torqued the water pump bolt and broke it off

 

[Gearbanger 101]

I'm surprised at this point you didn't go with an electric water pump?

 

[stanggt00]

yea i was thinking about that i have to see how my money looks

if this motor is still sitting in my kitchen by july i will have an electric pump and 8-rib on her

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Let me know when/if you decide to do the 8-rib swap and I'll send you the pulley part numbers. You can do it yourself for about half the cost of the GI Joe set up.

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

Damn, nice build, but did you get that bolt out? That sucks man, cause that's a new block isn't it?

 

[stanggt00]

ok i worked a little over time and got 800 bucks to spare ofter paying the bills so gearbanger what you got for part numbers i will order that stuff today
(8-rib)

[stanggt00]

ok i have to degree the dam cams so looking on the net for write ups on this my problem so far is trying to get the dam crankshaft bolt to stop loosing up when i try and turn the motor counterclock wise....

i know if i dont do this i will not get the max out of the cams

here is some info i found :

[stanggt00]

never mind got it large wrench works for turning the crank counterclock wise
i think i got the cams degreed correct

got 151 degrees on one side and 74 degrees on the other side of the intake valve so thats (151+74)/2= 113 centerline and thats what the cams are set for

 

[mat82284]

Any updates?

 

[jivepepper]

500rwhp is easy with all stuff he has it should break 600. I'm right at 600 and I'm not running a 75 shot.

When I broke 500 I was running 12.5 psi with stock heads/intake and just dropped the cams in with a cam retention tool still running the stock valve springs for over a year. I went from 431 to 516 with just the cams.

The following year I added the patriot heads, 8rib kit. IW overdrive crank pulley and electric water pump and made 598.5. Since a shot on a boosted adds more than NA. With a 75 shot It would be over 680+.

Maybe I should have degreed my cams?

man i started this post a long time ago

well some up date on the car jpc performance has it working there magic and cleaning up all the wrong i did lol... like all the bolts and stuff i forgot to put back on the motor when i put it together........

anyways the car is up and running theres a little noise coming from the timing cover maybe some poor oil flow to the timing tensioners ......

cobra tank is in the car

just as a refresh.....

the car has been sitting for over a yrs i even brougth a 2006 g35 6-speed as my daily driver...


2000 mustang gt (73k on the car)
mmr900 shortblock
stg 2 patriot heads
mph blower cams

vortech sq-trim 3.60
cobra fuel tank duel pumps

car is being tuned by jpc performance in glen burnie ,md

justin informed me that the ajustable cam gears i have on the car maynot be a good idea so he is putting the stock cam gears back on

once i get the numbers from the tune i will post them

i am also removing the diy front mount intercooler i was going with and doing a vortech air to water intercooler


dropping the pulley size down as low as i can get 2.8 or 2.6 or so
jumping to a 60lb injector,bap, and dual gt pumps

i want 500-600whp by july

now only if i can stop looking at turbo kits for my g35 i will be fine

 

[stanggt00]

dam jivepepper i am slipping been keeping track of your car for sometime now nice numbers

i have not been on for a few months i see you got a t-trim now what was the max you did with the sq-trim i am going to sqezz mine for all i can get out of it before i go for the t-trim

i also wanted to hit maybe a 50-75shot of nos on my car also since i still have my nx kit .....

going to see if jpc can set me up for a all boost tune street and a boost/nos tune for the track..

 

[98stangv8]

Which injectors are you planning on using? 42's are going to be pushing it at that HP level. Seen it done, before, but...

42's are fine..that is what I am running...and no problems..

Thanks I pretty happy with results so far. I have a little bit of a belt alignment issue right now.

Stanggt00, If you don't mind me asking.... roughly how much did all of this cost you? (ball park figure). I have a 2v as well.

I have been thinking about adding a blower. But since my motor already has 105k miles and will continue to be a DD. I was thinking about a new short block from MMR. Which then I was like... ahhh hell. I might as well get some new heads and cams while I'm at it .... . You're setup is pretty much what I have been thinking about (plus or minus a few parts).

By the way, nice pics and looks/sounds like your build is coming along great.
