Building my GT500 engine with Piston cooling "pictures"

To begin with thanks on Bill and to all who have helped me!:beer:

l posting pictures irregularly, but nothing to write.:lol1:


Block stock.

Block after.


Accessories

MAF-Housing 123&125mm

Nice start, looks like it will be a beast!

 

[09Troublemaker]

good luck with the build:beer:

i've been waiting for this thread! make sure to record some video for us when your build is finished!

 

[SpeedySam]

Oliver I-Beams nice choice..Are those CP pistons?

 

[TVLA147]

very nice man, good luck on the build!

 

[me32]

looking good. one hella of a project

 

[German Boy]

No, Manley!!!

[ferrarokid]

Looking good !

Looking forward to some high speed videos ! !

 

[Willie2]

are you going to port the heads?

 

[German Boy]

I port the Block and the intake manifold, my friend port the Heads, he can better.

His job: Capricorn Group - capricorn AUTOMOTIVE, ENGINEERING, crankshafts, con rod, pistons, cylinder liners, Composi

Ralf

are you going to port the heads?

Update

From left to right: New inlet Valve guide - stock valve guide(exhaust) - new exhaust valve guide.

subscribing, looks interesting...

Update:

Uploaded with ImageShack.usInformation:The 2011 5.0 Oil Pump have 10% more Volume then the GT500 Pump.

The Ford GT Oil squirt nozzles have a 1.65mm drill-hole and opens by 58 PSI.
One Ford GT Nozzle 0.1321 Gallon by 65 PSI (4.5 Bar) in 40 sec.

Reduces the Nozzle to 1.0mm (Porsche) then need the Oil for the 0.1321 Gallon by 65 PSI 240 sec.

All with Castrol 10W60 TWS!!!

Nice!

interesting oiling information, thanks for posting that! nice looking pistons too!

Since you are in Germany I was wondering if you could tell me how the GT500 holds up on the autobahn. I know a lot of the German cars are designed with high speed cruising on the autobahn in mind, but the American cars are not. My brother lived in Germany for a few years and said the American cars did not hold up as well after being driven at such high speeds (he owned a Porsche, and later BMW which he brought back to the states). Has your GT500 been reliable being driven at those speeds for sustained periods?

Hi Joe,

the problem whith the GT500 Motor ist the exhaust temperation,
the performance drops with increasing combustion temperature.

Charge air temperature is too high!

With a Water Methanol injection (Waes) is the problem eleminated!

From the speed / rpm keeps the engine and oil temperature are often observed.

Next week a trial with 1.15mm nozzle bore, should have half the power of the stock GT nozzle.

I think my brother when he was talking about American cars that were having problems on the autobahn wasn't necessarily talking about the Mustangs or Corvettes, but more of the Ford Focus lol.

What you are saying about heat soak makes perfect sense. It's one of the biggest drawbacks from the factory to the supercharged vehicles that Ford has made (Lightning, Terminator, GT500 ...).

Are you going to have the tune modify off of the Air Intake Temp (AIT) so when/if there is a problem with the Alcohol Inj. Sys. (AIS) the computer sees the rise in AIT and will modify ignition timing accordingly? If I was going to modify my Lightning I'd run an AIS system. Here in Florida the ambient temps are high enough that heat soak is a constant issue with boosted cars (especially if they don't have intercooling).

The build looks awesome, I can't wait to see more German engineering applied to GT500 engine building!
