eh, depending on how much power you're trying to make, stock internals will hold up fine, we did a 3076r car over a year ago and only problem we had was blowing up a transmission. 28 psi on pump gas and motor is still pretty happy w/over 14k miles of hard driving so far. but if you're looking at going ***** out in the 450whp + range I would definitely start looking into building the motor first.

 

I'm late as ever on this, but good stuff ZZP. I came on looking for progress and you all have made it.

I'm waiting to hear prices and the like because I'm looking at getting an upgraded turbo this summer. If need be I'll take a few days off and drive up there for you guys to install this stuff.

Good working, waiting for pricings and what the stock internals can and cannot do.

 

Where is the lsj?

Ryan is currently working on the intake swap LSJ turbo kit. He is going to race with that setup this year. We will base the kit on the S252 that we are including in the LNF turbo upgrade kit.

 

this is great to have stumbled upon!

I'm not going to screw with my car and chance voiding warranty for a little while still, but after that's gone, I WILL be upgrading...

 

Just wanted to sub to this thread!

 

I pm'd both you guys, E-mail customer service and the server would never accept my e-mail, called and left you a message, left my name number the whole nine yards abou the lsj turbo setup and no response....



Oh well....

 

wow, i cant believe i havent seen this thread before! good ****

 

nice. after i put some miles on my car (at least 50k) then i might go with a turbo swap. im only looking to make like 350-375whp tho. maybe have a high boost setting for 400whp.

 

holly crap!!!

 

2500 bones ::::: flaps Visa card in hand::::
hmmmmmm .....

 

I might have to take the Visa plastic and click add to cart sooner then I thought

 

It is affordable but you add clutch valve springs and that kind of sours the deal ... I don't want to have to buy and install the clutch. Anyone running a stock clutch on that 252 ? I just know it can't handle it ...

 

Torque will come on a little higher in the RPMs which helps some but when it hits it is going to slip bad unless the tires give up first.

 

Psh, know how to drive it and it will last. Not long, but it would work. I ran a PTE 5557 on my cvar on stock clutch, tuned it on the dyno to 370whp, 388 ftlbs, and it still worked.

 

Most stock clutches start to slip at approx 360wtrq.

 

Well I have some money flying my way here and I think I could afford it all but do I want to deal with all the headaches and what not with having a high hp fwd turbo car ..

I think the 252 would be a good match , I feel the k04 is a tiny turbo for this car,

Even at 6000 ft term you think I will be making enough up here to start slipping . I just haven't felt my clutch slip the entire time having the car, and I am not very nice to it half the time ? What clutch should I go with , ill get that put in first ...

lol , I know it will work , the question is how many WOT pulls will it last for

Either way I am doing it this fall 90% sure now ..

 

You will not have as much of an issue as you would at sea level. Your air is so thin up there at 6K feet there is not as much to compress LOL. In all seriousness it will likely slip some. You do have some slip I saw it in your logs. RPMs spike up (speed does not) and then fall back down. mainly on 3rd gear pulls. It is not bad enough for you to smell it burning or anything. I have the same problem except a little worse.

 

All I can say is mine lasted for most of the dyno tuning. Dyno runs are pretty dang hard on the car (harder than the street).

Also, Term, this was on the most conservative Mustang dyno I have ever seen, so I am sure it was really quite a bit over 400wtq. Example, my car put down 219wtq stock (to show how conservative it really is).

 

Pulls done in 4th or 3rd?

 

Not too many shops around here I would trust installing it anyway is my whole deal ... self install just isn't going to fly with what I got ...

 

Self install I think would be a pain in the ass, just sayin' but I'm sure if you were close enough vivid racing would do it for ya

I can't remeber where in AZ they are but if you dont wanna do it yourself then it wouldn't hurt to call and find out labor rates

EDIT: Gilbert AZ

I was just thinkin' to that Full-race is in Phoenix and I'm sure they wouldn't mind doing the install

 

3rd gear.

 

im speechless
