mustangsoldier · December 14th, 2009, 12:15 AM

man its been waaayyy to long since i posted last! ok so heres the deal. sold my 93 hatch a few months ago to take care of the family issues but now my great wife! has agreed to let me pick up a termi! the one that i am eyeing up is completely bone stock w/ about 41k on it. here is my rough draft parts list. i am COMPLETELY new to modular mustangs let alone termi's so which parts would be the best in order? i'll have about 1500 to spend at first then about 1000 every 6 months. thanks for the help

u could always get the stock eaton ported and get a pulley

mustangsoldier · December 14th, 2009, 12:26 AM

how big of a jump would i be looking at with the port. 1st thing im picking up is a 2.80 pulley.

Exhaust should run you about $1,000 for a mid pipe and a cat back, then you can get an intake, and save the rest for a pulley, tuner, and a tune.

u could always save up for a KB or whipple. but with a port pulley and tune ull see a good gain

LGHTNG02GT · December 14th, 2009, 12:37 AM

port the blower, get a pulley, have it tuned. Hold the Fack on!

mustangsoldier · December 14th, 2009, 12:40 AM

i priced exhaust (bbk longtubes and bassani off road x pipe) for about 915 so i was leaning towards that pulley and tuner, next purchase gears shifter tires and injectors. i just didn't know what the termis reacted to better

Scott2001GT · December 14th, 2009, 01:18 AM

port/pulley the Heaton and do Meth. Injection to cool it done or a little spray.

drazga97 · December 14th, 2009, 01:49 AM

dont waste your time or money with porting. do a 2.80 pulley with a dyno tune. then do the exhaust/intake/throttle body. then when you get really power hungry get 60lbs, fuel pump, and a used blower off svtperformance.

04gtblkvert · December 14th, 2009, 08:10 AM

I have two buddy's that have cobras told me when I was going to get a cobra to just do a o/r x, catback, jlt fender cai, 2.70 pulley, 100mm idler, tune, mgw short throw and a nitto dr. So that's between 2000-2500 depending on which stuff you get which isn't bad at all and my buddy puts out 480rwhp and it cost him 2,000.

AzSonicSnake · December 14th, 2009, 09:54 AM

i'm not

's. i love my ported eaton. it hauls ass, and is ten second capable. and its reliable as all get out. and nothing quite beats the look on most whipple/kb cars when they get it handed to em by a lowly ported eaton car at the track. i just chose to put my money in my suspension instead of in a blower. but i am not complaining. and my ported SCREAMS!

Cricket · December 14th, 2009, 10:10 AM

I can get the power I want out of the eaton so I'm just gonna port mine.

exhaust - 1st thing you should do
pullies - 2nd and porting blower to increase efficiency of Heaton
injectors - you wont need injectors until after you go over 510hp and fuel pumps
tuner - 4th
tires - After you get 1-4 you get tires Mikes or the Toyos DRs
suspension
throttle body 3rd
drive shaft -
gears not needed really
shifter 5th
cams If you have the oney to do Cams do it when you take apart the motor so you can also change something elese as well and not just the cams.
gauges

Now right now most imported is the A/F gauge

forget everything and get a kenne bell

drazga97 · December 14th, 2009, 08:38 PM

ported eatons run good dont get me wrong. but i usually dont run digs when i go out to the meet around here because no one is willing too. so i want 600rwhp+ to spank all the evos and their roll races. its all about what u want out of the car.

Doc8224 · December 14th, 2009, 09:14 PM

sounds like a good plan, I'll look forward to the competition floating around the hood here. LOL feel free to hit me up if you need help working on it or anything I have a house on post and I work at the airfield.

yea im leaning towards porting the eaton. all im really looking for is around 500whp at most and the occasional weekend trip to the strip (with the occasional rice embarrassment lol)

also is there any bads about the termi that i need to watch or replace?
