Know anything about my car? (pics)

[sixpackstang]

I'm trying to find any and all information about this car I just bought. It is a 03 DSG Cobra that was traded in to the dealership my brother works at and I bought it through him. Here's what I know for sure about it:

Car was owned and titled in Virginia, around Fairfax County
Mods I can see are:
60 lb injectors, CRP fuel rails, SCT Big Air MAF, some sort of aftermarket TB, 18" DD bullets in rear, 17" in front, SLP exhaust, 2.73 BilletFlow pulley, 3 piece Billetflow idler pulley set, 1 Steeda pulley (that is right by the supercharger pulley) and some pretty distinct aftermarket sidescoops.

What I was told but don't know for sure and am trying to find out:
The engine was rebuilt with either just upgraded pistons or rods, or that it was rebuilt with a 5.0 stroker kit.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this car here or on any of the boards? Would really like to find out the full story on the engine to know what I'm working with.

judging by the mods, it probably has a ported blower, or had an aftermarket blower on it b4 it was traded in and the guy just swapped the stock one back on.

Hmm, I dont know. As you can see by the pics I had it dyno'd to check out the tune before I drove it all the way back from Virginia to Ohio. The tune was right on (11.8-12.0 A/F across the board) which I would think it would be a little off if he swapped a different blower off and put the stock back on.

P.S. Dyno results were 474/474

Ya I wasn't sure if I liked them at first, but they are pretty unique to anything I've seen, and they are kinda growing on me.

yeah I like them too....I think they would look way better without that extra strip in the door, wouldn't you think? :beer:

Coulda had it tuned for the eaton.. those mods do definately suggest a blower swap. Fuel rails/injectors/generally MAF aren't needed at that HP level.

Maybe the previous owner was setting it up for an aftermarket blower and ran out of money? I doubt I would trade the car in if I ran out of money for parts, but who knows...

Either way, that thing is bad ass and just waiting on a KB or Whipple.

60 lb injectors? Could have had an aftermarket blower on the car. Where in Cleveland do you live? I'm in Sheffield Lake, Lorain county.

No one else noticed it was missing the cover thats in the engine bay where it covers the blower coolant bolts? Might have had a different reservoir.
Stock Heat Exchanger?

Have you checked with the MACA folks? Someone there probably knows something. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=219

 

[Tonka Toy]

Check on tidewaterracing.com/forums also. That is a local VA board. Somebody on there might know about it.

 

[sixpackstang]

Thanks guys, I'll definately check out those other boards. Would really like to know the whole story on the car.

Why buy a car you know nothing about? Not slamming you, but just curious why you didn't do any research?

NVMC probably, I do not believe it was from a MACA Member. Is the blower ported? fairly good numbers for a 2.73 with a stock blower. Most people I know with a Steig 3 or 4 are running 60's with a BAP. Rails are a bit much though.
