DIY 5.0.
I just cant help myself. I've posted this on several other forums…stumbled across this one and somehow cant resist posting it one more time!!!
Anyways, Enjoy! I've posted this on a few other forums...but here it is one more time around for those interested. Well, I finally got started on the buildup this weekend. Let me first say that the headers are of excellent quality (thanks Brian). I did however have a problem with the fitment of the drivers side header. With the power steering mounted in the stock location (with a/c), the header would not go in due to an interference between the header and the p/s fitting. Now for me, this really is not a issue...because I have already removed all of my a/c equipment except the compressor. I'll be getting a a/c delete kit...so the problem will be no longer. The drivers side downpipe has so far consumed almost all of a 2 1/2" mandrel bend with a 5" radius...save for one leg and a small amount of bend. I have virtually no scrap for this either, as I will probably be able to find a use for the excess. Also, I'm buying a smaller radius j-bend to transition to my o/r h-pipe location...which is of the variety for shorty headers (stock mounting). I'll be able to attach the drivers side using the stock location, but the passenger will require me to cut a portion of the h-pipe out to relocate the flange...as it will be impossible to connect any dowpipe to the current configuration Alrighty, on to the pics. Here is the headers in all their glory. http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1012.jpg Passenger header...mounted http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1014.jpg Drivers header...mounted http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1015.jpg Drivers Downpipe...in position http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1016.jpg Drivers Dowpipe...clearance http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1017.jpg Drivers Dowpipe-H pipe http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1018.jpg Drivers Dowpipe...profile http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1019.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1020.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1026.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1021.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1025.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1023.jpg Drivers Downpipe http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1022.jpg Pass Dowpipe http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1024.jpg https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1027.JPG https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1028.JPG Dont mind the welds, I switched the gas mixture and was dialing in my wire feed. https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1029.JPG https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1030.JPG https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1031.JPG https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1032.JPG https://home.comcast.net/~danmiller0...2/site1033.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1038.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1039.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1040.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1041.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/data/302/100_0288copy.jpg http://www.mustangmods.com/data/302/100_0289copy.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1048.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1049.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1050.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1051.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1053.JPG The small out of place pipe is where my pro-m univer maf is going http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1054.JPG http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1055.JPG And here is a closeup of my passenger side oil drain http://home.comcast.net/~danmiller03...2/site1052.JPG |

Re: DIY 5.0.
Howdy. I think it is good to see a variety of turbo set ups on different cars. Everyone faces similar general problems: design, packaging, fuel, management etc. What are those lines you have for your oil feeds? They look nice. I may redo mine when the new motor goes in.

Re: DIY 5.0.
It looks fancy with the black cover. I had brakeline on mine at first. I switched to 1/8 copper line in an effort to stop all the oil smoke. But I heard later that copper is not a good idea and then my oil smoke problem was most likely do to massive blowby from my old motor. So I will go back to the brake line and be done with it. I should check if it is 3/16 or 1/4. I do want as small id as possible.

Erich I do believe that I've seen your setup on turbomustangs. That copper oil feed rings a bell...as a matter of fact, you and I both have the same name here and there ;) |
Re: DIY 5.0.
yup to make it easy for me
hey erich do u check my site out by the way im jeff |

I was weary about buying it…but in the end my wallet made the decision for me. ;) |

Re: DIY 5.0.
Yep, same name at everywhere. I wouldn't call my setup exactly quiet. When those turbos spool you can hear it. Exhaustwise though it is quieter than before. Makes me want to run my cats as mufflers.

Too bad I'm not consitent enough picturing sufficiently the progress of my own projects. Can't wait to read your initial driving impressions. ^-^ I'll share my driving impressions. It's ------- amazingly fast. Some people arranged a friendly sqirmish about a month ago with a guy in a nice early 80's cutty. He ran 12.7's on e.t. streets. Not only did I outlaunch him on my nitto's, but I pulled on him too. Two weeks ago a guy offered his g-tech for my use. With 8lbs of boost, melted sparkplug wires, conservative timing and a piece of wiring harness tape covering half of my driverside turbo it gave me a 12.5 @ 111mph. I believe in that state of tune, a low 12 second 1/4 time at the track with a decent launch. I couldnt resist however upping the boost to ~10-11lbs. It's freaking amazing what just a few lbs of boost does. It's rediculiously fast now. I've already converted atleast 3 guys at my local hangout into making there own setup. 2 of them are stang drivers, and the other a ls1 guy. With the upped boost however comes consequense. I believe the heads are lfiting from the higher boost and pressurizing the cooling system. Every time I get into it hard the temp goes up until the sytem burps out again. It's no biggie though. For the time being I'll just take the boost controller off and run 8lbs. When I get some free time and money, I'll buy some quality arp head bolts (or better yet, studs) and some cometic head gaskets. Tis the price to pay to play. ;D |

Re: DIY 5.0.
So what exactly is your fuel management? How does it know to add more fuel on boost?
|
Re: DIY 5.0.
im going to use my fmu for 19 pds injectors if that does not work well i will use 42pd injecters and 42 caled maf
|
Re: DIY 5.0.
Yeah, all that engine bay is very nice but let us know about your engine management??
What did you use for tuning the Fuel and the timing? FMU? MSD BTM? |
Re: DIY 5.0.
careful of the headgaskets, change your oil right now and check for water :)

Re: DIY 5.0.

Re: DIY 5.0.
Funny, when this board first started a few years ago, I was literally the only 5.0 guy here. Now I guess I'm the only BLACK guy with a TwinTurbo 5.0 here O0
