Well alot has changed in the past few months. My t-bird T3 blew the ---- up in mid-May or so. I took it off and sent it to BLAAST for inspection , though I knew it was fucked. Decided to get a T3/T4 from him, got that, installed it and then the engine blew the ---- up in mid-June. Swapped the engine for the one I got from the Probe with the 5sp. tranny. Next I bought, built, installed and tuned Megasquirt. Removed 5th gear since it would pop out under load, "machined" it, reinstalled it and now, by the grace of God or something it works fine(though I am hesitant to put any real power through it). Next on the list are some bigger injectors and a 255lph fuel pump. Both of which I have, but have yet to find the time to install and re-tune. Heres a few pics of the progress:
Finally decided to paint my charge piping black. looks much better now.
Yes, the EGT guage is held to the others with zip-ties. ---- You, it works, this was a $500 car.
I can't believe that the stock(used) clutch is still hoding strong. I'm making probably 210-230whp on 11-12psi. That is a complete guess though as I havent dynoed it yet. It will be dynoed when the injectors are installed and boost is upped to the 16-18+psi range. hoping for 300whp or so. I raced a brand new Mustang GT the other day and it was pretty even until I shut it down at about 60mph.
