Single turbo mustang build-www.thefabforums.com

[vossperformance]

I made the inyake my self...i actually have a vid of one i made with carbon fiber, also finishe another steel one.

[Fraiserization]

WHO did the intake? You or is it a hogan's?

[MacDaddySupreme69]

Very nice!! Going with electronic radiator fan would have freed up 8-14hp?

[snickel6824]

was it cheeper for you to do this custom setup as to buying a kit?

[vossperformance]

@snickel6824 Yea it was much cheaper for me...plus I couldnt find a kit I liked that had the turbo located on the driver side.

[originaldriver]

As many of these car are receiving Chevy LS swaps, its actually becoming rarer to see a Ford powerplant under the hood.

In any case, nice build.

[vossperformance]

@originaldriver thanks...the LS stuff is awesome. Its about time GM went to a ford style head :) Im actually considering doing a CTS-V turbo combo next. No need to cross brands though, I can make good power with what ever I have.

[originaldriver]

@vossperformance You're doing a CTS-V turbo? Sounds nice. Im currently swapping a 5.3l LM7 chevy into a third gen with my buddy. We managed to score a t88/to4 turbo with a 50mm wg and a air/air intercooler for dirt cheap. Im building a megasquirt with 2 peak/hold injector driver boards and wasted-spark COP control. It ought to be pretty fun.

[Jcadzow23]

Nice build man!!

[vossperformance]

@Jcadzow23 Thanks

[kutamatah]

lets all get together and stop chevy from advertising on ford videos ,please your already a tagalong for our taxes ,shit fuel eco and junk cars

[jplumber100]

I had mine made too! And it was pretty close you dont need to be a dick about it your right they werent the same mine was better.

[vossperformance]

@jplumber100 Wow...I didn't mean to come across as a dick. I am sure yours  was probably better.

[wilsonjl16]

@jplumber100 i know you posted the comment 3 weeks ago, but how exactly is he been a dick about his car? is it because he took pictures of th build, posted it on youtube therefor it leads you to think he's bragging or something? personally i think he was just proud of his car and wanted to do a video of the build with pics. nothing wrong with that is there.

[jplumber100]

I had the same intake made for my car 12 years ago

[vossperformance]

@jplumber100 well... it wasnt the same because I made this one.

[turbomoore]

Maybe I missed it in the video but heads and headers did you use? Do you have clearance issues with the sparkplugs? thanks

[vossperformance]

@turbomoore Edelbrock performers and some nice stainless eBay headers. Plug clearance was just like factory...if you think about it the heads don't know the headers are on backwards because the heads them selves can be used on either side.

[prostreetrocks]

call me stupid if ya want but i was confused at first why theheaders were backward but i got it lol took me a min haha sweet sleeper

[need2speed94]

@prostreetrocks i feel ya on that man, and i am most definitely not an amateur ! hah

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

Cool!! very inspirational.

[vossperformance]

@DiEGO2DaBAY Great thats what I like to hear. If it inspires you to build something of your own I invite you to document the build on TheFabForums. Its a great place to get ideas also.

[vossperformance]

It can be run with erg, does not require a special tune, and would well na. I have a how to on this intake in carbon.

[anthonysean94]

[anthonysean94]

kewl i jus subscribed is there a writeup on that intake and can it be run with egr and would it require a tune?

[shawnmgarcia]

The ULTIMATE sleeper..... Congrats on a fantastic job bro!

[motojeff]

You have a Mega Squirt? If so I would love to contact you about that.

[thefabforumscom]

@motojeff yea just shoot me an email...vossperformance at bellsouth net.

[shishisha11]

so how cheap was it?

[vossperformance]

@shishisha11 Start to finish I think it was around 3500....I think there is a break down on the forum. If not ask the question and i will get it posted. Thanks

[iPurexBoost]

Dude really good job! I just did a deal that if i take out the 5.7L out of a 2001 cobra R i cna keep the car, all the guy wants is the engine, tranny, and the differencial. Im going to keep the shell till i decide what to do, any recomendations with the engine, tranny and differencial i should put?

[vossperformance]

@iPurexBoost sweet...yea if its a real deal cobra R I would try to return it to stock.

[iPurexBoost]

@vossperformance Yeah i am going to try to keep it stock, after all only 300 cobra R were made, im going to be one of them! Shyt man i am 19 years old and i am so exited about owing a cobra, btw is a 2000 cobra R not 2001, sorry

[BurtonBluntRider]

@iPurexBoost there isn't a 2001 Cobra R. They also had 5.4L motors

[supertalontsi]

@iPurexBoost i have an idea. something i have never seen before. i think you should run a procharged Ls1 in a cobra. i mean think about it you can pick up a used motor with harness and tranny for around 3500 and and with very little mods you can hit 500hp and then throw a procharger on it and your lookin at 600hp to 700hp depending on what blower and psi you use for cheaper than you could pick up a good stock cobra motor and it would be holy shit your pants fast.

[DonovanxPetersen]

Good shit man !

[vossperformance]

@DonovanxPetersen thanks...hope to do another soon...should be a step by step video build.

[primeredstang]

my question is , why did you use the stock fan an not an electric fan

[vossperformance]

@primeredstang thats a good question...I thought about using an electric fan. It would have actually been much easier. There was two reasons...1. I didnt want to have to count on an electric fan. If I wanted to go cruise at the beach, rod run, super long drives, I knew as long as I had a belt I was good to go. If it broke I could get another one anywhere for little money. Not so with a electric fan if it were to quit. 2. I tried to see how cheap I could build a real quality turbo car.

[marty3906]

not bad...



[aw11ccc]

dam, nice job. im in the process of building a 04 gt convertable sleeper. people think, o its not a cobra, it must be slow. ha ha

[conor1148]

That intake is awesome

[vossperformance]

@conor1148 I am doing another right now out of carbon fiber...it is bitchin

[lemac6657]
