Hey guys, figured I would start a thread to chronicle my up coming 1st start and the tuning process of a fresh combo I put together along with an MS3X I installed.
It's an 04 Mustang GT. Put together a built 4.6 4v DOHC engine and swapped it in place of the factory 4.6 2v. I bought the car and had it around 3 days, when I put it in the garage and yanked the 2v out to begin the project. It's punched 20 thou over with forged JE pistons, forged 03 cobra crank, K1 h beam rods, updated 04 aviator C-heads, 04 mach1 upper and lower intakes, stock TB. 5 speed tr-3650 trans, Mcleod clutch.
Added a CG fabrication twin turbo kit (hot side and cold side w/intercooler). Pair of borg warner s366 turbo's, twin 38mm wastegates.
Got a MS3X, and built a custom harness for it. Going to run it with seq fuel and spark. Running the factory ford 2 wire pencil coils driven by a injector driver box I made with 8 BIP373 Bosch driver transistors, with the MS3x 5v logic circuits driving them.
SCT BA5000 MAF sensor (blow through). Running dual 3 inch downpipes running to dual electronic cutout and then into a pair of mufflers(unknown on which ones yet)
Fuel cell in the trunk, and dual 385 lph fuel pumps. Going to be running E85 from the pump. Deuchworks 95lb fuel injectors.
35 spline Strange spool and 35 spline axles. 3.27 ford motorsports gears. Will be running 26" slicks on 15x10 wheels in the rear and some skinnies in the front with a radial tire,.
I'm sure I am missing some stuff, but overall that is the base I am working with. Going to mostly be a track car, with a small amount of street time as well.
Steve has agreed to help get me tuned ( awesome dude btw), hope to get this thing started within the next couple weeks, so stay tuned for some vids. I will add a couple pictures to the thread here soon.
