1988 hatch 4-cyl
1988 hatch 4-cyl
After 2 years of work, i finally fired up my engine for the first time. Was a great feeling.
Technically this video was 2nd crank
Combo is TFS170 58cc heads, FTI custom grind cam, Ported Cobra intake, Crane gold 1.6 RR's.
Exhaust is JBA ceramic shortys, Bassani catted X-pipe, Flowmaster American Thunder. I'm probably going to ditch the flowmasters and go with Borla Pro XS mufflers to quiet it down a tad.
Car is also hydroboost swapped.

How aggressive is that cam?

Love that sound (and that engine bay/intake manifold). Your catted x pipe, is it two cats or four cats?After 2 years of work, i finally fired up my engine for the first time. Was a great feeling.

I have flowmasters on my 88 but not sure of the type and not sure of the brand on the shorty headers. I want that sound or something very close to it.
Looks like a nice car you got. People in socal are asking stupid money for 4 cylinder foxes, especially coupes. There is one on ebay currently in ROUGH shape that is already bid up past 3K. The days of buying nice, clean foxes for 5K are distant memory. Here is the car I was talking about...broken windows, needs body work, hasn't run in 10 years, etc. Crazy times indeed.

1989 Ford Mustang LX | eBay
1989 Notchback Mustang. 4 cylinder, 5 speed car. Perfect car for your V8 conversion. Few dings, dents, & shattered rear side glass on passenger side, nothing major. Never ever wrecked. The car is non-op and has sat for 10 years.www.ebay.com
The Flowmaster American Thunder you have - that uses the super 44 mufflers, right?It's a 2 cat pipe. Bullet style. Doesn't really quiet it down much.
I actually do want to quiet it down a tad more. As it stands right now, my kids are afraid of the car. I have been meaning to swap the mufflers to Borla Pro XS to knock down a little volume and to go to a straight-thru muffler vs a chamber design to see if i can gain a few more HP.

Correct. I would like to drive it a little bit. Next week looks like upper 40's and no salt on the roads yet.Looks like it didn't disappoint.
