Not sure if this is the right section, but just saw the " lookin for 330whp" post, and decided, why not just throw it out there. Well, its a TB 03, and my mods are as follows:
- Cometic headgasket
- ARP headstuds
- Brian Crower valve springs and titanium retainers
- Cosworth M2 280/280 cams
- NGK Iridium plugs
- IX turbo
- Mynes tubular manifold
- Megan o2 housing
- Injen intake/licp/uicp kit
- Xs eng. FMIC
- Hallman MBC
- AMS TBE w/testpipe
- Walbro 255lph
- JDM IX DV
- Agency Power solid front motor mount
And some other non-(hp)gaining parts. So basically my question is; Is 400whp, on race gas ofcourse, attainable with this setup? And no, Im not going to quote ppl. Just want opinions. And If not, what other things do I need, or what do I need to swap out? Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks

 

all depends on the dyno but you definitely have a high 11sec car on your hands on race gas or meth, have you thought about meth injection at all?

 

50 trim turbo...

 

Tossed it around... Between a good alky kit, race gas, or somethin else... IDK yet. Heres the other thing tho, Im still on my stock clutch But, ya, my goal is to have a mid-high 11 sec street car

 

So you dont think I can hit it. Even on the right dyno?

 

Depends mustang or dynojet? On a dynojet you could almost hit that on pump on mustang though you would need at least alky prob a 20g and race gas/alky/e85.

 

Dynojet. Dont get me wrong tho, Im not building this thing for a fancy dyno sheet. That, and an 11 sec 1/4 mile were just some goals I set for the car before this whole thing got started. Eventually itll be more, I just wana see how much I can squeeze out of the IX turbo, before I go BIG

 

I've seen stock turbo, full bolt ons, cams, and water/meth make 400+ whp twice, first hand. One ran 11.878, at the closest track to Great Falls MT. Not sure what the altitude is up there. Good luck.

 

Stock turbo, as in evo VIII turbo? Cuz those mustve been strong motors! Keep it comin ppl, I wanna hear it all

 

You and I have similar goals! I'm sitting at just over 350AWHP now. I am sure with some good tuning and different cams I can get it up to 400awhp. Contact Chris @ Mellon Tuning, he has done some amazing things with "small" turbos. If memory serves me correctly he was running low low 12's with the stock 16G on his. Of course he went all big baller on us and is running an HTA35R now with all kinds of sick stuff out of the Buschur catalog!

If you car puts down 350whp & 350tqe on our MD, then you should theoretically be able to hit high 11's or low 12's. I have two evo 8's (both 2005) hit 12.0 and 12.3 respectively and both are putting down about 350whp & similar torque numbers. Of course, this is on Sunoco race gas

 

If memory serves me correctly, dont mustang dynos read 15-20% higher, than say a dynojet? So 350awhp on a MD would really be around 400awhp on a DJ...Someone correct me if Im wrong.. But ya, Im lookin to dip into the 11's, even on race gas, since I AM still on a stock clutch When I blow it up, then Ill upgrade. BTW, is that u Mike? Props on the BAAAAD manifold man Keep up the good work!

 

^ Mustang's read 15-20 Percent Lower. Example was right just not the wording

 

It sounds like you should be in the high 11's now, if you can stop the clutch from sliping. If you are looking for 400awhp on a mustang, you will have to put a bigger turbo on the car. Dyno jet on the other hand you should already be there. good luck. by the way is the car tuned? you didn't mention if it was.

 

Hey bud, yep, it's me I think with a good tune on the mods that you have, you should be able to hit your objective

BTW, we have a new manifold for the T3 turbo, should be releasing in the next week or so. It's an equal-length 1.5" SS heavy duty mani that retains the AC & Stock FAN We r putting this on all of the Time Attack cars, and it should be an awesome mani for street driving as well. We'll have this ready when you're ready to go big down the road

cheers.
