Red 95 GTS - Just Another Turbo Mustang

[BBR]

Episode 6! I show the turbo kit, mock some headers up, and take some amazing footage of the back of my head.

[BBR]

AC line removal and a sneak peek at another project!

[BBR]

I find out this kit isn't necessarily made for a SN95!

[BBR]

Even though I am making vids of this stuff, I feel like I need to document some of it normally.

The best part about working on stuff for short periods of time is you have time to think about stuff and make better decisions.

The turbo and alternator are trying to occupy the same space. The turbo needs to rotate toward the fender just a little. I think I am going to v-notch the outside of the tube just under the flange and rotate it down. Then weld it back together. That way, my crossover tube does not need to be modified. The down pipe will need to be changed slightly, but that's not a big deal.

Episode 9. Screechy noises and big hammers. Haha.

[BBR]

Making sparks and bashing headers on the floor!!

Engine management.

I have really thought about this a lot taking into consideration what I know, price points and ease of installation.

There is really only one option that checks all the boxes and that is the Plug n play Microsquirt for SN95's from EFI Source. Bonus is that it comes with a GM style 3 bar MAP sensor and harness and a base tune to get it running.

$550 is a steal for a tuneable, plugnplay system in my opinion.

The stock ECU *might* have been able to deal with the boost levels we are going to run, but tuning EEC-IV stuff is out of my desired learning cloud and any sort of support for that stuff is dying.

I have computer stuff for the Ecotec/MGB on order from Affordable Fuel Injection in Oxford, MI which just happens to be the town I was born in. It's just under $900 which is by far the cheapest reliable stand-alone system for this engine and they have many systems out in the world and working. They're surprisingly common on tube-style dune buggies as many are converting to Ecotec power. They're reprogramming my PCM that came with the engine and are building a wiring harness. Five wires to connect and it should run although I'm not really ready for that just yet. I thought I ought to get on with this as it was the part that worried me the most.

I picked up a real mic! It really seems to work good!

Here you are, going all Pro on us. When you're an influencer we can say we knew you "when".

Lipstick on a pig, Dan, lipstick on a pig.

Kermit digs that!

Got welding gas and welded up the header yesterday. It really went well. I have been very happy with this Titanium welder from Harbor Freight Tools. Stainless is hard stuff. It took some serious hammer work to bend the edges in to get them close enough to weld.

I dropped the turbo in and it fits great! I am very happy with where it ended up. I also dropped the fender liner out and started looking at where to put the TFI. I don't know how I am going to route the boost tubes. That might get interesting.

Will the turbo get a blanket? Thinking it's awfully close to the alternator otherwise.
