RFFG's Turbo Mustang a.k.a. Crazy Taxi
 

Hey all, this is the latest project I'm working on. Got the car less than a month ago. It's a 1990 Mustang LX Coupe. Here's the basics: Precision PT67 Turbo, Precision intecooler, 302 bored .30 over (306 CID), AFR 185 heads, F-cam, GT40 upper / lower intakes, Wiseco pistons, stock balanced rods, polished stock crank, C4 transmission w/ manual shift valvebody...

I'll post progress here as well...

Here's some pics and a list of future modifications I need to make this "fun and streetable" :D

After it's tuned it should make about 500whp on pump 93, not trying to push it too much right now.

That's all for now :)

Future modifications / Progress

Need to buy:

- AEM ECU or another engine management / tune
- Subframe connectors
- Relocate battery to the trunk
- MSD Box
- Turbo blanket
- Upgrade alternator
- Heat wrap manifolds
- Upgrade Upper / Lower Torque Box Kit

Sweet ride, any plans for upgrading the block? 500rwhp may not be pushing the turbo system, but it certainly is pushing the limits of the stock block!

For now no plans to upgrade the block...the engine was built less than 500 miles ago and I'm not trying to push it hard or blow it up...the car will be tuned @ 10 psi on pump gas, it will never see race gas until I have a dart block waiting to be assembled...and it's not getting a really aggresive tune neither...I know this kit would be deadly @ 20 psi but for now 10 will do and nothing more.

The current setup will be on the car for at least 1-2 years...if it doesn't blow up hilarious

Great mods! That was cool ride.

Great fun ride.

awesome ride! the only thing i would change is to paint the window frame on the door black so that it blends in with the tinted windows, that would set it off just right!!

Thanks guys!

got hp? I actually have to put weatherstripping in there, lol

badass man

Thanks!
