Update with some pictures. Not all of the hardware but still some goodies! I cleaned up the turbo/manifold/downpipe a bit. Coating is supposed to hold upto 1200 degrees so we will see how this goes.

That just sounds irresponsible.

So tell me again , what happens when you exceed the magic 80% mark again , I'm sure I too have read somewhere but chose to push those limits for the past year and a half with zero issues at 15 lbs of boost with those injectors ;)

[travish325]

did you use the vht high temp paint or something else?

[TC|Photography]

I cant remember what it was but it was like 10$ for a 11 OZ can.

[jaywood]

Is that the OBX adapter? How does it fit? Have you bolted it to the head yet?

[TC|Photography]

yep, its the OBX adapter. I converted to head exhaust bolts instead of studs and she dropped right in. You'll have a good time getting a couple of the bolts in/snug but after that its smoooooooth sailing!

the injectors can get stuck open or the coils can overheat. BTW, any duty cycle 100% or beyond just means the injectors are being held open continuously. There is no such thing as more than 100% duty cycle, it's just reporting that you ran out of fuel! I recommend installing larger injectors now so that you don't have to adjust the tune as much in the future and because it's less overall work. Larger injectors will be fine - I have 750cc injectors (something like 72 lb/hr at 3 bar) and they even idle fine.

You will have issues at 15 psi and 36lb injectors. We found out 30s max out around 10 psi possibly a tiny more.

[jaywood]

42lb injectors are very common and will be big enough for your power goals. A set of 8 can be had cheap from mustang forums.

I dont plan on running 15PSI any time soon. I need to reliably run 7-12 first.

Took out the old exhaust manifolds/studs. Converted to bolts, and dropped the manifold in! The turbo and down pipe are in also! I started to fit and run the intercooler and piping. Don't mind the dirty valve cover/intake manifold. Those are coming off and getting coated. And the bay will be presentable with some minor changes!

Why did you have to convert to bolts?

[TC|Photography]

because its literally impossible to get the OBX manifold on the exhaust manifold while its on the car. Also you wont get the setup in the car with the studs on the head because there is no room! with the studs removed the manifold slips into place

Looking good, excited to see it in person!

If 30s are maxed out at 10psi 36 will be over 80% dc at 12psi. Do your self a favor and upgrade now, it can only help. Especially when your boost creeps up past 12psi and your like ah shit shoulda listened to Travis.


plus everyone who has built a turbo car knows that 7psi wastegate is gonna run more like 10 psi.
