Red 95 GTS - Just Another Turbo Mustang

Nothin' to it!

Fuel pump upgrade went good!

The hole in the trunk floor is cheating! I pulled the tank to do mine - but I'll copy your hole if I have to do another one. My Fox looks pretty much the same.

Drove the car today with the bigger pump. It's still leans out under boost but it does not trend leaner like it was.

I did notice the voltage gauge on the dash was showing like 10 volts when I got back from my drive so that made me think I should check the log and see what battery voltage is doing.

Sure enough, when pump demand goes up, voltage drops and the AFR goes up. It was dropping to 9.5 volts when the car was making 9 psi.

This is what led me to find the alternator wires that weren't connected to anything. Haha.

So maybe with a solid 12 volts, this thing may be okay. One thing is for sure, it is a blast to drive right now. You just roll into the throttle, boost comes up, and then it just lights the tires up.

Bet you'll get a charge out of connecting those wires!

It's shocking that they were not connected.

Just walked out there and sure enough, there is an unused connector for the alternator wires right next to the fuse box.

Voltage? We don't need no stink'in voltage!

[BBR]

We still don't have any stinkin' voltage!

You'll find it!

I feex! Without having to throw a truckload of parts at it!!

First drive after fixing the alternator. I think I am getting a handle on the tune. I had the very far row in the tune way too lean with too much timing. I didn't know it was getting that far up on the table!

It's hard to test much on the street because it just blows the tires off.

Took it out for a drive today got into boost pretty hard a couple of times, everything look good on the gauges, but I guess I nipped the head gasket on number seven.
Stopped at the shop to open the garage door and it was missing and chuffing steam out the exhaust.

Pulled the spark plug and coolant gushed out. I will feex.

Really though, it will give us a good chance to see what stroke this engine really is and maybe what kind of pistons are in it.

Started the teardown to feex!

Teardown continues! Everything is going good!
