Blew my 8 up several months back, and now the car is almost done. Was going to go a little more agressive (turbo, manifold, fuel system) but just ran out of money. Any idea's what I can expect numbers wise ? I know it really comes down to the tune


2.4 LR Motor
Manley Rods
Wiseco Pistons
ACL Bearings
Manley 100mm Crank

GSC S2 Cams
Supertech Nirtide Intake Valves
Supertech Sodium Filled Exhaust Valves
GSC Race Springs
GSC Titanium Retainers

Stock evo 8 Exhaust Manifold
Stock Intake Manifold
Stock evo 9 Turbo
ETS 3.5" FMIC
Tial Bov

Stock fuel pump (for now)
FIC 1200cc Injectors
Running 93 Octane

 

that will put you over 400 in pump gas

 

370 on mustang.

 

Thats what I was thinking / hoping, I just didn't want to hope for too much and me disapointed. Its like step one of a expensive damn 2 step process

 

9 Turbo will choke out on that set up.

Did a 2.2 With a 9 Turbo and after 6500 it just wasnt making power.

 

I can see this being a fun setup though.

 

I see a torque monster coming out!

 

That's right you'll see like 400+tq on mustang.

 

390whp and 440wtq! Is your o2 housing still stock? I'd consider changing it.

 

I had the same combo, except with S3s, a ported head and a bigger IM.

Made 400/400 DJ in the heat on 93. That sucker freaking ripped though. Do yourself a favor: buy a Red, and send your IM and EM to Curt Brown. On the street it felt like 0 loss of spool over the IX turbo on a 2.4, and made the same power on 15psi as the IX turbo did on 28.

Edit: I found an old VD. If my memory serves me correctly, this was like 23# on a 90* and humid day.

 

The plan was to go double pumper, 6266 bb, t3 twin scroll kit, FIC 2100 cc's, but I just don't have the money to go full blown, and I can't afford to break anything so I figured a 2.4 would be a fun street car.

I honestly haven't really even looked into a ton of turbo options once I decided to stay smaller, but I can't see staying stock all too long.

Def going to have to take a peek into the red ....

Apprichate the feed back !

 

Anyone hear or see anything about how the fp exhaust manifold holds up, and how the numbers look ?

 

good numbers

 

Numbers look good for it so far. Tom recommends it a lot it seems. Its cast Iron so it isnt going to break. I would run one ported and prob will eventually.

 

Ported stocker will be more than fine.
