4cylinder? mods please!

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

From what I know its a 2.3L Ford SVO 4cyl block, well worked over head but unsure of turbo size or boost #'s. Heck just last October he was only running Mid 9's.

It is a tall block 2.3, I think it is in the 2.8l range. not sure if he is running an arca head or an esslingler svo aluminum. About the best stuff you can get in the Lima stuff. Those block where low production 20 years ago, now they are next to impossible to find and when you do be prepared to pay.

Here is his manifold

squarefold comes to mind

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

funny how certain technologies catch up to others decades later.......cylinder heads and turbochargers making use of bottom mends produced in the 80's is simply awesome!!

4cyl "street cars" have been going 150mph for a while now, but not even close to 8.90's can't wait for the future!!

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

im retarded, because for some reason i thought 4 cylinder mustangs were fwd :l

eh.. the fact that im retarded is a well established fact ^-^

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

The only other 4cyl Street Car in the 8's is John Shephards Eagle Talon but thats an AWD car and not @ 150mph either.

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

i dont mean to talk ----, but 4cyl's have certainly gone a lot faster than 150mph. be careful about what you claim to be a street car, as i'm fairly certain john shepard is running more like 7.70-7.80 and a lot closer to 200mph than 150mph. i personally wouldn't consider john shepards car a street car, but if thats the comparison you're triying to make, your're comparing your car to back-halfed methanol burning FWD hotrod cars running in the high 7's. surely not a good comparison to your car.

i appreciate your car for what it is, but know that other people/forums are going to give you a monumental load of ---- about your claims.

have fun, go faster 8)


EDIT: oops, not your car, but THAT car...........i'm drunk, so thats a freebie :6

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

His car has not been street legal for quite some time now. Tags on the plates are 05, it has a filled block, no alternator, no exhaust. When that car was "legal" he wasn't running 7's. Hubers SVO is titled, registered, insured, full exhaust and can be daily driven :y

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

Pretty impressive...

BUT...I think some newer import 4-cyls could meet or exceed that ----, if only they were rwd instead of lame-ass fwd.

Cool though

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

They stole stealthmodes manifold! :o :P

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

I would hope so, that motor is a single cam, pushrod, 8 valve head, late 70's technology.

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

Fixed it for you, the head is a single can 8 valve setup, but it's not 70's tech. Is is a aluminum race piece that flows around 300+ @28"h2o

Still a badass car with a super nice owner. The thing is quality through and through.

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

exactly my point, old ----...time to move on :P

Badass car nonetheless, not trying to downplay it. If this was around back when the engine originally came out, people would ---- their pants and hang the owner for witchcraft and communism.

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

i just found one of those motors locally..pretty cheap too..i think im gonna pick it up and find a starlet to put it in! :S

Re: Who says you cant make real power with a Log Mani
 

I made 404 whp on a log mani/1.8 liter LS/VTEC combo, given the "big plenum" design in the picture I'm not surprised the car makes good power.

Nothing impressive about that car, IMO. I doubt it has much more than 600 whp in a 2500lb chassis to run a flat 9. The reason you don't see more four cyl Mustangs doing that is because faggot ------- rednecks yank the 2.3's to swap in 302's thinking that they are upgrading something. ::)

Volume makes power. Thats odd
