Done for the night. Torque the intake to the heads and put the fuel rail back on. Not too much more.

They are MT ET Streets. 315s on 17x10.5 replica 03 Cobra wheels.Quote:

Packaged and shipped! No turning back now. I’m really look forward to the extra power. Hope to actually take the car on a cruise. I’ve only driven the car to work this year.
Put some miles on it. It's just a car!!!
You staying with 93 pump gas?
That's the only downfall to mine... I don't have E85 locally and I have to carry cans to get it all the time.
I have no where to drive it,lol!Quote:

I hope they build one near you. I was super excited to find out they remodeled a Speedway 2 miles from my house a few years ago and added E85.Quote:

For now Ill continue to carry my 5 gallon cans and fill up as much as I can. I could probably pick up a 55 gallon drum and fill it once or twice a year and be fine. I maybe put 500 miles on it this year.

I replaced a leaking facet at my house over the weekend and lost my goal to have this done to my inability to be flexible. Still suffering from sore back. I guess I’m getting older. I did some work on the car tonight. New spark plugs gapped to .030, installed a new belt and installed the plenum and Tb. By the way how did you guys do your egr delete? Did you reuse your stock vacuum hoses or replaced them?
Kept mine- made my buddy thread it onto the new blower. Took him about ten minutes to get it, but since he's a machinist I knew he'd never cross thread it. I kept all my stock vac lines.
There are a few good write ups on it on SVT Performance. Mine is long gone. Looks so much cleaner I think.

There’s not too much to it. I just would need to get a reducers and couple size hoses. I’m going to measure the diameter of everything. I don’t know if I want to take vacuum assembly apart yet. Did you guys have to zip tie or clamp any of your hoses?
We pulled the whole vacuum tree/harness out when I installed mine, mainly just tot look at how it was all plumbed. It's pretty simple. I did zip tie any connections I could.
I have an empty ignite drum you are welcome to if you want it. I end up deheading them and throwing them away most times.Quote:

Not the easiest to get on the tube buts it’s on.
Just wait till you get it tuned and feel the difference! Whole different car!
I’m almost done. I need to pick up a 9/32 to 7/32 vac reducer and that should be the last piece I need. Can’t wait till it’s done though I’ll need to find another thing to do. It’s fun working on this car. Nice to have ton of choices on parts that will bolt on.
Yeah there is plenty to do to them. I offered mine up for sale to a guy. We'll see what happens there. Doubt he will buy it but you never know.
Id love to be back into a foxbody. They don't handle worth a crap, low on power when stock, brakes aren't much to talk about... But I miss having one. Love to find me a black LX hatch. ..
I never understood why Ford put drum brakes on those Fox bodies minus the 93 Cobra. It will be sad to see you get rid of it. I’ve considered selling my 03 before but never pursued it.
Any chance you could stack those units and run them in series behind the bumper or does that new exchanger take up all the room? Just thinking. Read a thread on another forum where a guy had used two smaller intercoolers on his S197 setup somehow and made some really low temps even in Texas summer time.
I think you could get the two heat exchangers behind the bumper. Just need to bracket it up. Ill check it out tomorrow. The outlet and inlets would probably be in the way if anything.
The new one will keep it plenty cool enough though. Usually mine runs ambient driving down the road. Stop and go traffic it will warm up quicker but still wont be too bad. On a hot day mine never goes over 105 or so.

I got some fittings From Home Depot Performance. I decided just to run new 3/8, 9/32 and 7/32 hose. I couldn’t get myself to pull apart the stock vac hoses to make it work.
The Car is now all together with Pump wire upgrade, blower, Jlt Big Air and Larger Heat Exchanger. Need to schedule for a tune now!

I bet your anxious! Who you going to have tune it?
Brandon Aslept, he’s tune the car a couple times before.
Sounds good Joe. I bet I know who 's going to tune it. :D

^^^ Just spoke to a couple of guys at work and gave them the scenario Joe, and while this may help, the better alternative would be to increase your flow with a bigger pump in the system over trying the two in series or parallel. I just remember the basics of a thread on another forum that went on forever about the person I referred to who hooked several HE's in series to obtain optimal heat removal for his car down in Texas.
The recirc pump on the 03/04 SVT is the same pump used on the 07-09 GT500 (maybe up to 12) and many aftermarket PD setups. It's a Bosch pump and reliable obviously. The 13/14 GT500 received a larger flow pump and this pump is a nice unit that will out flow the stock one you have. Since then Whipple has produced a pump that will out flow the GT500 pump and I believe it is even a little more cost effective. There are some other options out there that have even higher flow rates if you wish to make some custom mounting brackets and figure out your own plumbing solution.
I get these hair brained ideas from when I worked on CNC Lasers. They had HE's on them to pull heat out of the gas medium both on the return side and then again on the supply side to pull heat from the compression process of the turbo blower or roots blower (depending on which brand) to remove induced heat from that process that creates the air flow in the system. Plus after working in HVAC controls for a while and learning the very basics of heat removal (though I have forgotten much of it by now) heat removal is something that intrigues me.
It’s a interesting subject that when I took Fluid Dynamics in School it made more sense. What would be interesting is to cool a separate tank with Thermoelectric cooler system and use that tank to cool the charge during a 1/4 mile pass with a valve. I don’t know the recovery time so you maybe just better utilizing another AC pump system to cool the liquid. I think I would hodge poge the Volvo with this but the Mustang I just want a basic clean look to the system. It’s just a quick weekend driver.
Why not install diverter valves in the lines to and from heat exchanger. Run the heat exchanger on the street, then switch over to trunk mounted ice tank for track.
That would work perfect, Keeping the charge cool is what your trying to achieve. They also have the killer chiller which I believe Dodge used on the Demon and Ford used on the F150 Lightning concept back in 03. You could probably braze on cooling channels under lower intake to cool more surface area. Your not suppose to cool the supercharger casings since the rotors can expand when heating and the casing can shrink.Quote:

I think it a cool idea also, but I've only used mine once.Quote:
