this is my favorite build out of all i have searched n looked for, i wish i had ur skills and tools to pull this off which is 100x better than paying 14k+++ for a th400 to get mounted in the rear im sure ull complete ur entire build for less than that lol

Thanks, I really appreciate that! So far I have money left over still from selling my old kit. The plan on paper is not come out of pocket at all from recycling the money from the old setup. I'll be coming out of pocket when it comes time to build the motor though.

You going to see what this motor will take or selling it while it's still in one piece?

Dude_man

Goog to shoot for 850 on low boost for now. After the trans is done the motors coming out, as long as it's still good I'll rebuild it.

Nice build so far, interested in seeing where this goes!

Dude_man

A little cardboard fab to see how far forward I can fit this Intercooler (tread stone cv259) the top end tank is to spec. The bottom just for reference. I'll be welding on 2 threaded bungs to each side of the core for the Intercooler brace. It looks like I'll be able to angle it just right where the ic won't be in the way of the turbo inlets.

You don't have this thing done yet?

Looking good man

Badass build you got going there Dude_man!
You doing all the work yourself, correct?
I love these home-brewed, DIY builds!
I like the tubular bumper. That opens up a lot of room in the nose of the car.

Dude_man

Thanks! Yea, everything is done by me. I have a small shop right next to my work. When I get out of my 9-5 I get to go play with cars.

Dude_man

Yesterday my shop neighbor called me over and gave me this older mustang 8.8 housing and axle tubes for free! That will be sitting on the shelf till time comes

Looks like a whole lot of not enough! jk, looks great gator bait

Dude_man

Thanks mudd butt, I is teh slowz

Dude_man

Fabbed up some Intercooler brackets and braces. Tacked them on the drivers side is a little crooked so I'll fix that tomorrow.

Dude_man

Decided to angle the turbo instead, it gives me a lot more room for the wastegates, I can now build intakes that go down to the fog lights, and I'll be able to build an X pipe(which I think sounds better than two individual down pipes)

schpenxel

Up pipes?

C6 Curtis

Up pipes it is! Haha

Dude_man

Two 4" exhaust sticking out of the hood still classifies as sleeper right?

schpenxel

I mean, I see that all the time around here.. no biggie

Very nice!

Which spark plugs you have there? TR7?

Coil(s) location?
