    now i side dump, the lack of a stock fuel tank left me allot of room under the rear drivers side backseat that i was thinking of lowering my batter into but instead decided to take up with this

    doesnt look like it but this steering setup was a big pain and time consumer but it turned out pretty good. from the left: UHMW plastic bushing for the shaft i made myself, stock steering shaft threaded and lock welded(can be removed) into adaptor i made to weld the quick detach too.

    brake setup up here is much cleaner. now only the master cylinder inputs are in this area and the outputs have been rerouted. much cleaner

    im surprised because i dont have as many pics as i expected, but i will get what pics i need in the shop to show what ive done if i need them. i will be documenting what i did when i can.

    the car was stripped to a bare frame again and repainted. i forgot to mention that, that i repainted it. i want to make the car more complete and presentable. theres probably other things ive forgotten to mention

    you can see i remove the drivers side motor mount on subframe because i dont use it(this isnt the final result)

    ive done a really poor job of documenting this second phase but i will get what pics i need. the car is nearly driving right now so theres allot going on that i dont have pics of.

    Yes, i am approaching the end of "phase 2" of this project.

    "phase 2" consists/ed of:
    rollbar install
    conversion to z4 rack
    conversion from trucker dash to racepak digital dash
    conversion from poly mounts to solid motor mounts
    shortening of oil pan as that was sorely needed
    slr wide angle kit installation
    widebody installation
    conversion from oem steering setup to custom setup with quick detach steering wheel
    installation of a hydro e brake
    installation of ford performance camshafts as well as vacuum pump delete to the 2.3l ecoboost
    removal of fuel cell firewall and replacement with different firewall
    flat underbody for aero and big diffuser fabrication
    sunroof delete panel
    lexan rear windshield and rear windows
    probably other stuff ive forgotten

    yeah its pretty serious power honestly, when I open the motor up hard I have hard time even looking at gauges or anything because I get in the zone almost like tunnel vision because its doing so much work. im gonna get more videos and updates coming in gradually over time.

    i love turbos they are cool, i test drove an ecoboost mustang too before i got working on the project and it was fun.

    I guess with that much torque there must be allot of pressure in the combustion chamber. maybe its likely to blow the headgasket, that's something that happens with these sometimes

    hopefully pretty dang long, theres allot of ecoboost mustangs out there with bigger turbos with much higher hp numbers than mine that see allot of use as daily drivers, but the torque is pretty far up there.

    im going to install a water injection system soon so I doubt ill ever have issues with knock but it is crazy torque.

    the tuner set my afrs to 11.5 which is pretty safe anyways.

    they are impressive motors, what really gets me is how you can run 87 octane on these turbocharged motors producing over a bar of boost. ive seen some naturally aspirated v8s with the same compression ratio as the ecoboost rated for 93/91 only. kinda crazy.

    the neat thing about the ecoboost mustang compared to the gt is that they are much lighter and much better weight distribution
