The new to me 93 Cobra

[exrider416]

The car is already is solid start but will definitely see some changes! I’m ready to get back into the dozen mix this year! Below is a link to some pictures:

Sweet looking car. I'm assuming you didn't cut up the car originally?

[exrider416]

I did not! Bought it this way. It was a barn find car is 2017 with 60k miles on it. Guy bought it and began the mods

[NXcoupe]

Guys did the same thing to hemi cars back in the day. Sweet car all the same.

[chris91]

Good lookin ride!

[redfirepearlgt]

Interesting find.

[draggin50]

Im jealous!!!! Any details on it?

I looked for one for a while that had already had some mods on it as to not buy a clean unmolested one and do it myself. Never did find one!

Still looks like a real clean car and probably makes some real good power.

I had a similar setup. Dart 347 7675 with trickflow heads through a glide. It will make more power than people this with that turbo. 1k to the tire isn't a problem.

I have AFR Renegade 220s on this one. I’d be thrilled to see it make 1k and run a solid number for a full/extra weight car. Spare tire, jack, 13” wilwoods, power stock leather seats.

Nice!!! That car will be a blast! Will make a good bit of power without leaning on it hard.

I was getting ready to build a Dart SHP 363 with the 7675 and a th400 for my red car. Perfect set up I think.

[89notch]

Yes with 300lbs of ballast for the class.

[exrider416]

Yes with 300lbs of ballast for the class.

I was wondering where all the weight came from lol

[89notch]

Also I had a 3" downpipe on it for the class with full exhaust and tailpipes

Sweet car, she's going to get down.

[draggin50]

Gonna be some quick cars on the dozen this year!

[cyah92]

Thats a clean cobra. Sweet ride. Cant wait to see it run

[exrider416]

Thank you all!! Currently rewiring everything for the Holley ecu to control it all. Guy had a boost controller, meth controller, and not utilizing the ecu other than fuel and timing.

[exrider416]

Installed Dual boost solenoids, dome pressure sensor, all new push lock lines to wastegate/turbo/blowoff, ethanol sensor, wired in meth pump to Holley, removed a few useless gauges.

[draggin50]

Everything ran right through the Holley?

Yes, it will do all that and a lot more if it is a dominator. HP is limited by 4 inputs and outputs each.

[exrider416]

Just HP. So yes only 4 input and 4 outputs. Just firing a relay with an output for the meth, wish I had dominator to run there solenoid as an extra injector. I’m pretty much tapped out now on adding anything. Using two pwm- for the boost solenoid, pwm+ for the meth, and 2 inputs for ethanol and dome pressure.

[89notch]

Cant go wrong with the holley stuff. Who's tuning it? I have a tuner that did my 7675 combo and hes local.

[2Fast4You]

Nice piece for sure

[draggin50]

[exrider416]

What hood are you going with?

I believe it’s a 2-1/2”, 95 cobra cobra r style hood. It’s one of the 3 hoods that came with the car. I sold the carbon fiber one and the stock one won’t fit on it. And this hood I couldn’t fit in my jeep when I picked the car up. Just managed to get it shipped here

What wheels are you going to go with? Im sure it would be a handful on the stock wheels.

I was leaning toward v-series. Then came across billet specialties beadlocks. So I’m still up in the air.
The replica wheels on it, do have et street R on the back, so they aren’t too bad

[draggin50]

Im a fan of the V series.

The Billet Specialties Comp 5's and polished?

[JIMS SVT]

Polished vitesse fronts and polished v series rears!

You're going the wrong way!

[exrider416]

Everything will be back together next weekend. Front brake, coil over springs, and rearend swap.

[draggin50]

I need some of your motivation! Mine is still setting in pieces and I walk out and look at it every now and then...

[exrider416]

Almost ready! Hoping the Qa1 rear lca, coil overs with new springs and bmr uppers do the trick for this year.

Yeah I’ll probably run my 18” fronts if that 18”/17” set don’t sell. But got a good deal on the 15” setup, so couldn’t pass them up.
I went with 12” 125lb in the rear

[draggin50]

Those will look good for sure. I like the 15's with the taller tire.

You sure got a lot done!

[exrider416]

It has been busy since March. Dual boost solenoid setup on Co2 using dome pressure, behind bars aluminum tank, ethanol content sensor, new earls fuel filter, 35 spline gun drilled rearend setup, anti rollbar, new coilover springs all around, Fully built Aod-e, new derale trans cooler setup, wilwood front brake setup for 15” wheels, racecraft drop spindles. This past week was new arp chromoly exhaust manifold studs and trueing up the on3 manifold flanges.

[exrider416]

Went from the 3” intercooler to a 5” today

[Rick93coupe]

I'll be interested in seeing what kind of IAT's you get with that 5" cooler. I keep waffling back and forth about an A/A.

[exrider416]

If I ever actually get it out and get some data I’ll let you know

[draggin50]

Do you still have the bumper in there also? Ive got the 3 inch in my red car and its pretty tight as it is.

[exrider416]

Yes, bumper and oem fog light brackets and all. The GT/cobra bumpers have considerable more room. The underbite the lx bumper has makes it difficult to fit a large intercooler

[draggin50]

Thought about that after I posted it. The LX does set back pretty far.

What alternator bracket is that? Id like to move mine over to the drivers side too.

Brian, it may be this one, I don't know of too many that put the alt on driver side and high like that. Breeze Automotive (https://www.breezeautomotive.com/shop/alternator-bracket-kit-driver-side-302/)

[exrider416]

I doubt it’s dialed in by then. Need tires mounted this week and alignment. And a lot of people are weeks out for any dyno time

[exrider416]

I’m down for quite a while. Developed another manifold leak on the dyno and broke the bellhousing on the trans. Not sure if it was already stressed some from coming from an 1100hp car some already or not. Everything lined up perfect going together.

Man that sucks!

Going to just put everything in another case?

Freddy brown I believe offers a SFI bellhousing for them. I’m going to call around Monday and see what the best option is going forward.

[exrider416]

Trans was dropped off Friday to have the internals put in a new case. Silver Fox Trans is the only one who does an SFI bellhousing (JW Aod bell machined for the Aod-e) for these trans that will work with my converter (He said he couldn’t guarantee the trans finished until the end of the year). QuickTime I would need to switch to a 10” converter.

The car made a little over 700whp (forget the exact number as I was trying to find the vibration issue) on 15psi at 5500rpms on the only pull we were able to make once we added a little pressure on top of the spring. Still needed leaned out a bit and some more timing

[redfirepearlgt]

sweet. Sounds like there is more power to be had. How much timing are you running at WOT currently? Are you on E85 or race fuel? Engine compression?

[exrider416]

Low compression 8.5:1, e85, I believe we were in the 13-14ish degrees of timing. I can look at my timing table in Holley to verify. Yeah it should, as it will get a bit more boost added on!

[Walter]

Bump up that CR!!!!!

[exrider416]

Race car boost compression ratio. Who needs power outside of boost lol

[exrider416]

I’ll just compensate with more boost until it runs out of turbo lol then go bigger turbo

No secrets here lol I’m hoping boost is enough lol

[draggin50]

Sucks it may take them so long to get your tranny together. Hopefully they can better that time.

Def starting modest on the timing. Very nice setup. I saw a guy on another forum make over 1000 on a 9.3:1 turbo setup on a 4.6L 3V running 93. So you have the sky as the limit unless you run out of injector of fuel pump before you get there. You should be able to feed that car 17-18 of timing WOT currently with little issue and pick up quite a bit more safely. E85 as I recall loves timing because it burns so cool. Cant wait to see it.

I'm running 18 degrees WOT @ 11:1 compression 11psi on 93 in the 17 and ran the same timing on 10.5 psi on the 14 setup on 93.


Wish I had a garage to do an engine build for a roller so I could put the theory I have learned reading Banish's book on tuning.

This was copied from another forum.

It occured to me a while back that there is no limit to how much power can be made with pump fuel. You simply keep lowering the compression ratio and adding more boost. Each little hit you take in off boost power comes with a huge gain in on boost power. Here are some rough calculations I did for a typical small block turbocharged intercooled street engine at various static compression ratios. I attempted to see at what boost the auto ignition limit would be for each engine and then what the power would be at that boost. I used 4% loss in power for each compression point drop. They are likely grossly inaccurate but demonstrate the point.

10:1 432Hp N/A 638Hp@7psi
9:1 414Hp N/A 780Hp@13psi
8:1 396Hp N/A 962Hp@21psi
7:1 378Hp N/A 1201Hp@32psi

[exrider416]

I’m hoping to get into the mid 20s on boost without any back pressure issues due to the smaller turbine wheel/housing on this turbo. But have to get the trans back together and in it first

That's good news! Hopefully you get it all sorted out soon and start making some passes! Still a beautiful car!

[redfirepearlgt]

big garages, lifts, and large tool inventories are things I have fantasies about... Look forward to seeing it live and running.

[Rick93coupe]

I'm watching to see how the trans holds up. I've been daydreaming about having overdrive here lately. Not that I've had a hint of trouble out of my Extreme automatics Th400 but OD would be nice. Hopefully this one gives you many years without any issues!

I was talking to Chad Evans about doing a 4R70 the other night. If I decide to go that route, I'll let you know but it's just conversation right now. It's got good parts in it.

[exrider416]

I will let you know how the trans holds up! Unfortunately I received a cash offer I could not pass up on the car. But I still talk to the new owner.
I would talk to silver fox trans on a 4r70. The guy is really good with them and can do an SFI bell on them, that nobody else offers. He is a one man show so his wait times are long! So if you want something get on his list!

[draggin50]

Hope it stayed local! Id love to see it out making passes!

Any plans for something else?
