Time for an update! I got all of the issues sorted out and it's running like a champ now. I tore apart the timing cover again and replace chains tensioners and guides. I also replaced the cam and crank sensors with oem units. After all of this was installed I was laying under the car drilling the holes in the oil pan for the new turbo drain setup and came across a half broken crank sensor ground wire. I repaired the wire and now all is good and the car is running great with no smoke and no codes. Ready to finally schedule Dyno time!
Alright guys so I finally got all the bugs worked out and got the car on the Dyno for tuning. It made 527whp and 554wtq on the lowest reading mustang dyno in town on only 16 lbs of boost and pump 93. It was 100° outside so I didn't want to go any further with the car on pump gas.
Nice numbers. The tires on those stock wheels must be getting blown off. Plans for replacements?
Wheels and tires showed up yesterday! 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET street R radials with Jegs 15x8 5.5" backspaced wheels. Just need to get the stock brakes back on so they will clear.
Weigh them ... interested to see what they come in at -
Looks like they are about 40 lbs. mounted and balanced.
Could've went with a larger tire. These are 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street R radials. I could've fit the 275/60/15 radial but I was worried about fitment issues and went with the smaller sidewall. Oh well they still hook just fine.
