sikcol "High PSI" 2.3T build thread...

siksol · March 30th, 2011, 06:43 PM

So I got this car about a month ago and went to work on it right away...

I picked the car up having these mods:

Holset hy35 turbo
Procharger 3 core intercooler
Stinger tubular header with full 3 inch exhaust into Magnaflow muffler
95# Delphi injectors
255lph hp Walbro pump
synapse BOV
TiAl 38mm WG
gutted and rotated upper intake
ported/knife edged lower intake
Megasquirt 2 ECU running 2.1 extra firmware
Hurst short throw shifter
Spec stage 3+ clutch
polyurathane trans, trans cross member and engine mounts
Lakewood LCAs
Ford Racing UCAs
8.8 with 355 gears and brand new heavy duty clutch pac
17" Saleeen SC replica wheels 9" front 10" rear with brand new front tires and slightly used BFG drs
Lakewood 70/30 drag struts and 50/50 shocks

..prob few more things but thats the most of it.

Since then I changed the head out with a ported and polished one, valves,springs, lifters, bigger cam etc.. Changed the turbo out to a new PTE SC6262, New PTE 46mm WG, custom made turbo manifold, has a BBK 70mm TB now, blocked off coolant to the intake, moved the IAT and bunch other lil random things like painted the engine back, tucked some wires and cleaned them up.

Future things left to do for this summer is swap in a TCI streetfighter c4 trans using a 2.3 c4 bellhousing and flexplate I got. Custom converter Im thinking in the 3500-4000 range gonna wait and see what the guy says after looking at my dyno sheets.

Goal for this summer is 400whp or slightly more (stock bottom end wont last long at this level) and run well into the 11's. Over winter a built bottom end will be going in with a water/meth kit and next summer hope to make 500whp+ and hit the 10's.

So on to some pics...

Engine bay with previous setup..

Mocking up location for new turbo and snap'd a teaser pic..

Some various pics doing the mockup and design of the manifold...

Manifold All finished up!!!

BBK 70mm TB compared to stocker lol..

Will post up some more pics tomorrow and a open downpipe idle video...

It is, if you read the post it's a PTE SC6262 with a PTE 46mm WG to go with it.

Scott2001GT · March 30th, 2011, 07:04 PM

Scott2001GT · March 30th, 2011, 07:05 PM

ranger50toy · March 31st, 2011, 09:01 AM

Are you going to add any brackets to support the weight of the turbo?

91vert*Brandy · March 31st, 2011, 09:28 AM

what type of head work is done to it?

Yes, it would probably do ok without it being how thick the mani material is but going to use a strut for it with heim joints.

Gonna keep that secret for right now till dyno results and a few things lol, Just say I got a guy that's been doing head work for 30 years go at it and nothing was left unchanged/stock.

Will post up a video of the car fired up later this evening.
