Standard sloppy stuff. Has an 02 4.8 with gapped rings, an SS2 and pac 1218's. Turbo is a billet 80/83 from vs racing with a 50mm gate. Very simple setup. Holley term x and snake eater 1000cc injectors. Ebay fuel rails. I didn't replace anything in the engine other than 1 ring I broke while gapping and the front & rear main seals. I have a gen 3.5 5.3 I was gonna use but this thing refuses to die. It was in another car I built last year.Dumpsterpat what's the details on the engine/turbo setup?
I did that on my last one and it worked but I'm gonna add a second fuel cell on this one for E85 for drag week and tie them together with shutoff valves on each tank. They feed a magna fuel 4303 I bought used. I'm gonna swap the return line when I switch tanks. I figured it'll be cheaper and easier than buying in tank pumps for both or draining a factory fuel tank every time I get to a track.
So on your last one it was an external inline pump or an in-tank pump?
It was in tank. It was a mustang tank with the fuel basket. I used a 3/8 sending unit I can't remember where I bought it. I put 1 450 on that then had a second hanging off a bulkhead with a nipple. I teed the lines and triggered the second pump in boost over 8lbs I think. I did the wiring through a bulkhead and the return through another bulkhead. So three bulkheads and a stockish sending unit. It was a pain and I would not repeat it. If I did another factory tank I'd prolly make the hole bigger and fab a drop in sending unit but I doubt I'd use another fox tank. Calvin nelson did a good job on one in his fairmont wagon. I'll look for the link.
On the brake it made 9lbs in 3 seconds. On the street I like it alot. With an auto it's all about the converter.
