Hey guys,
I recently removed and sold my 2.2KB off my 2004 Torch red coupe. I was running 17psi and making around 590rwhp with full bolt ons and stock exhaust manifolds. I loved the 2.2kb, sounded great and pulled well but I needed more power. I don't drive the car a ton do I figured I could do a build that took a month or so. My goal setting out is to make a solid 650-670rwhp on 93 octane pump gas and keep good drivability. I looked at many different blower options; I looked into bigger Kenne Bells, crusher and non crusher whipple and a TVS kit. All looked very tempting! When searching through the Buy/sell Terminator Forum, I stumbled across 2 used blower setups that I wanted. First was a 3.4 non crusher, and the other was a Ford Racing GT500 spec 2.3 TVS with a big VMP elbow and VMP throttlebody along with JLT Big Air Carbon Fiber Intake (blower meant for 07-14 gt500) also came with cobra engineering adapter plate and some other goodies. After researching how big of a b*tch the 3.4 is to install and the modification you have to do to make it fit I decided to go with the more unusual blower set up. The guy I bought the TVS off of is the best seller I have ever dealt with and a great guy! He has helped me with any questions I've had and sent me even more items than I have payed for just because "he doesn't have use for them" He has sent hundreds of dollars worth of stuff that I am going to use for free. Not to mention that he has a badass Screaming yellow coupe.
My build as it sat before the blower swap:
2.2KB w/3in upper (17psi)
High boost intake
Ba2600
80lbs injectors
KB boost-a-pump
Bigger Intercooler Resviour
Fluidyne HE
Magnum T56 w/26 spline
McLeod RXT
MGW short throw
Off-road Xpipe
Magnaflow catback
Tubular K member
Lowering springs
Now onto the new set up,
--GT500 Specs TVS Set Up and Additions--
Ford Racing 2.3 TVS w/ 2.76 billitflow upper
VMP Plenum w/VMP Throttle Body
JLT carbon fiber Big Air Intake
Gt500 slotted MAF sensor
Diablo Mafia
Battery relocation
NGK TR6 spark plugs gapped at .030
Modified FPDM
Twin Walbro 465's
2# Lower Pulley (maybe)
Reichard Racing Tensioner
I'm not really sure what to expect hp/tq wise or what boost I'll be at. If I had to quess, I'd say I'll make 650rwhp @19psi. My tune date is October 18th and I'm excited to see what happens! If you guys have any wild guesses throw them out there!
