Project Mustang Consolidation

[Russell]

if you're collecting EFI intakes - I have an edelbrock, with a phenolic spacer to go between the upper and lower, not sure I'll ever use it... came with a pile of SBF parts I couldn't pass up.

Your not helping I think I can say no, but how much shipped to 27591?
I was looking under the hood. From what it looks like the GT45 will be a tight fit. Is there another smaller sized turbo that will work well for a little more money but be easier to fit?

[Russell]

I am going to keep the A/C I don't like how most down pipes go beside the valve cover and down but the firewall. I think after I install the coil overs I can get the down pipe between the a arm and k member. There is alot of stuff under the hood. I see other cars that have tones of room. I really don't want to cut the car up, or rewire everything but that might be what it takes.

Russell - remind me in a week or so - we're having a party this weekend and preparations are all encompassing. I'd have to find the right box for the intake to fit into nicely - I'd probably want to bolt the upper to the lower with a couple fasteners just to keep things from getting damaged. I'm not much help on fitting turbo's in Foxes - the only I ever had was an SVO. There are sure a billion examples out there, just have to find one you like, I've even seen some folks mount turbos under the car way back behind the axle!

Sounds good, maybe let me know what you are thinking just for the intake before you go the trouble of looking for a box. Again I am trying not to buy non turbo parts right now.

I am still in buying parts mode. Turbo showed up yesterday. If you have 8 mins of you life that you don't want to ever get back: https://youtu.be/2A9NW2bnrvM

I did install the 3bar map sensor I got from EFI source. I need to work on the tune (start over)

[Russell]

I am going to install coil overs. I was going to install an old set of 70/30 that were given to me years ago. The coil overs will not fit over the top of the struts. I have heard some drill out the welds? Is that safe? The car currently has kyb agx I could reuse them they have a small top.

What would you do. I don't want to by new struts.

What is the recommendation of the coil-over maker? I'd look that up and go with their recommendation.
